1.5 eTSI problems

Hello. I've been having some trouble with the mild hybrid system. My dealer hasn't been able to fix it for about 2 years. I have been getting this since new. Also I get error messages for the start stop system and drivetrain. The most obvious problems:
1. When slowing down from 50-60 km/h the mild hybrid regens and I get a feeling as If the clutch has been engaged too fast, like driving a manual when you drop the clutch. I feel it, the passengers feel it, really annoying.
2. The breaking is not homogeneous. Sometimes it breaks too hard and the nose of the car dips, then suddenly it can disengage and the stopping power is as half as strong. If you won't be careful, you could hit a car in front.
3. When coasting with the engine off, when I brake, the engine kicks in, but before that happens the car lunges and then suddenly starts stopping really hard. Really annoying.
4. Driving slowly in start stop traffic, sometimes the car "kangaroos"back and worth when engaging a gear.

Maybe someone else had these problems and got it fixed somehow?
