I don't have any input aside from a similar story in a mkIV Jetta. I was driving on the freeway, minding my own business, cruising at a constant speed. Suddenly, the car shuts off... O_o I put it in 'N', turn the key off then back on - the car starts up. Put it in 'D' and continue with my drive. Never happened since and never had any issues with that car for another 9 months before selling it Sorcery.
