Description of the problem	My 2013 vw gti has an ongoing issue-condition with what appears to be a fuel pump and/or low fuel pressure. It usually occurs randomly, without any hint. After the start up the car stalls within a few seconds. At that point the car would die at every attempt to start up again. However, the car will come back to life after staying idle for 40-60minutes (in severe cases even longer). In addition, we had several incidents when the car would stall while in slow motion on a hill. The gas tank in all instances was full or near full. We have had numerous major and minor incidents that have started since approximately 7,000 miles. We had somehow tolerated such randomly occurring incidents until the issue became (suddenly) almost a daily norm in december 2014 and january 2015. The car was repaired by the vw dealership at least 2 times within 2 week period. The issue still occurs these days, yet with lesser frequency. The issue is causing serious health and safety concerns on top of the major inconvenience and additional out-of-pocket expenses.
