Description of the problem	I have had issues with the battery dying on my atlas for the last several months. I have driven it, gone into a store for 5 minutes and coming back out and the battery is dead. Or the car won't start the next morning after sitting my heated garage overnight. In my instance the car has been stationary the entire time but i know others have had this happen while in motion. This has happened 7-8 times recently and its unacceptable for this to be happening on a car this new. I have not had the car not restart in an intersection yet like many others have had happen but regardless its still a significant safety concern and vw needs to address this issue. I have read many items that people have taken their cars into the dealer to get the battery replaced and the problem still occurs. Vw needs to recall 2018 atlas's for this problem and find a permanent fix for this problem. It is clearly an issue that they know about and need to take action on it now. I can't have my family in vehicle that that i don't know when it will or will not start.
