CAR WILL NOT START AT SEEMINGLY RANDOM TIMES. CAR EITHER HAS TO BE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP OR IN SOME INSTANCES LEFT ALONE FOR HOURS AT A TIME. SOMETIMES AFTER LETTING IT REST, IT WILL START AGAIN AND OTHERS NOT. THIS HAS OCCURED 4 TIMES SO FAR AND EACH TIME THE DEALERSHIP TRIED FIXING THE ECM AND EVENTUALLY REPLACED IT, BUT IT CONTINUES TO OCCUR. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED A NUMBER OF TIMES WITH A NEW BABY AND VW CONTINUES TO TRY TO FIX THE PROBLEM TO NO AVAIL.
