Fuel/propulsion System

I'VE STARTED TO NOTICE THAT AFTER DRIVING MY CAR AND USING THE DSG SHIFTER OR SPORT MODE, MY CAR WILL NOT START BACK UP FOR A WHILE AFTER PARKED. SEEMS ONLY TO HAPPEN AFTER WARM ENGINE. I WILL START THE CAR AND THEN IT WILL SPUTTER BEFORE THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF. AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR OR MAYBE LONGER, I AM ABLE TO CRANK IT AND DRIVE.

VEHICLE HAS 48K MILES. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS A P2015 ERROR. RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT OF INTAKE MANIFOLD. FOUND INFORMATION THAT VW EXTENDED WARRANTY OF THE INTAKE MANIFOLD TO 10 YEARS/100K MILES IN MANY VEHICLES, BUT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THAT WARRANTY EXTENSION. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON, RECURRING PROBLEM IN VOLKSWAGENS. THIS WARRANTY EXTENSION NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED TO ALL VEHICLES.

VEHICLE HAS JUST UNDER 60,000 MILES. A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. IT WAS P2015, WHICH WAS ASSOCIATED WITH THE INTAKE RUNNER POSITION. VW DEALERSHIP SAYS THE FLAP INSIDE THE INTAKE MANIFOLD HAS DISINTEGRATED. VW HAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON 2.0T ENGINES FROM MODEL YEAR 2008 TO 2011. HOWEVER, 2013 IS NOT COVERED. VW HAS CLEARLY NOT RESOLVED THE PROBLEMS WITH THE INTAKE MANIFOLD FOR ENGINES AFTER 2011.
