My 2020 volkswagon Tiguan stalls while idling in traffic. The engine makes a grinding noise and there is no power. I have to put it in park and turn it off and then back on. It happened several times in 2021 and the dealer replaced the starter-that worked for a while but in the past 7 days (may 30, 2022 to June 6, 2022) it has stalled 5 times while idling in traffic.
