Description of the problem	This was a very dangerous experience. After stopped at one traffic light, the engine was total shut down when i press the acceleration pedal. Car stopped in the middle of the road right after the car made the left turn. Then i restarted the engine, it seemed normal, but after only 300 yards when i hit the gas pedal, the engine stalked again. Car just parked in the middle of the road. I restarted the engine again, this time the check engine light was on, and same problem happened after the car barely ran over 400 yards. I finally drove to home with 7 or 8 restarts for 4 miles. Then on may 21, i called aaa to tow my car to a local vw dealer. In the morning of may 22, the dealer's service adviser called me that the high pressure fuel pump was broken and need to be replaced. The cost including diagnose is $873. However, around 4pm in the afternoon, the dealer called again and advised that the replacement of fuel pump does not solve the problem. The dealer has made call to vw for the technical support. *tt
