    Generally the first sign of a dying battery is the symptom you describe. That said, plenty of other options.

    You said the dealer DID change the battery?

    I assume it is happening still after the battery change? When does it happen? Cold outside, car has ice on it, wet?

    I have trouble with it when it's rather cold out (below 20 F). Im hoping the issue goes away with warmer weather, but you are not alone unfortunately with this.

    People with Golf R's have been having this issue as well - some issue with Kessy.

    I have the same problem and it's consistent with what you said
