Car starts and dies then runs normal.

I am having a problem. My car starts and runs but will die like 5 minutes afterward. Then a minute or two later it would start up again and run like nothing happened. It usually happens before I go to work and after I get off of work.

Last night was the worst though. It started, I let it idle, then as expected it shut off. But if took about an hour for it to start again. But then it was fine. I scanned it for codes and didn't find any. The battery is also good. It's from 9/16 and I had it tested as well.

I have no idea what's wrong with this or if anyone else had any similar issues. I just want some sort of idea of what's going on. Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.

sounds exactly like my symptoms on my 2014 Passat SE .I have 68000 miles and took it into the dealership 3 days ago.

It's intermittent and no codes are stored. First day they said they couldn't duplicate, so I went in and made it happen three times with a master tech who witnessed it.

They are calling tech support. Hopefully an answer will be found soon. The car runs fantastic otherwise bit this is a legitimate safety issue.

Damn gremlins are hiding too damn well. Car is a PZEV so if it's an emissions component it should be covered.

Just want it fixed right. Anyone else experience this and had a successful fix? If so, please share.
