Citroen C3 engine cut out whilst driving

Car: Citroen C3
Variant: 1.6 Auto sence drive
Model Year: 2005
Categories: Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
We have had this car only 1 month and on at least 6 occasions the engine just cut out mainly whilst at low speed. Put it into the Citroen dealer who upgraded the software. Cut ran for a while (4 days) with no real issues but whilst driving along a dual carriageway the car whilst in 3rd (auto) just cut out and stopped. Nothing on dash board and I mean nothing. Car then takes at least three or four attempt before it even thinks about the engine turning over and starting again

From what I can gather , speaking to others , seems to be quite common fault .Being intermittent , sometimes hard to solve and diagnose .Can be dangerous not knowing when it will happen next .Get it back to dealer for testing , only way to get it fixed .
