Car stalls with no warning while driving. Fuel smells permeate the air around vehicle after a few minutes of attempted starting. Vw denies it is a fuel pump issue. The car has been in a shop for over a month with no fix in sight. Yet vw-america denies claim under lemon law.

I left work to pick up my children 3 times in a short trip the car cut off, it seems as if you don't give gas the car will stall and quit. I have started trying to hold the brake and give gas to prevent from it cutting off at stop lights, the car will also cut off in motion if not given gas. I can't file a complaint everyday but not one day goes by that my car don't cut off
