This vehicle stalls out intermittently. Has been back to the dealer for repairs 6 times with no resolution. Dealer service manager admits they are grasping at straws and just replacing parts to get rid of it. VW regional manager chris O'hara refuses to buy back the car and also refuses to allow us to bring the car back for service again, even though it is still under warranty.
