I have a volkswagen jetta gli 2.0 turbo. It currently has 55,000. I am having a problem on initial start where by it runs rough, sometimes stalls at idle and sometimes stalls on initial acceleration. This started as a 30 day progress of getting worse. Now the yellow engine light comes on and at the same time the cruise control yellow light appears (intermittent). Computer diagnostics were run. When tests were run as a group no failures reported but when run individually 7 faults occurred including cylinder miss-fires and camshaft adj bank 1 intake error

Brand new jetta with about 8000 miles. After about 20-25 minutes highway driving rattles and stalls on surface street. Had two "just missed" accidents trying to make left turn the last couple of weeks. Have taken it to dealer twice. They tell me can't find anything wrong with it.
My car is stalling upon starting intermittently for the last 2 months. I have read several places about people having an issue of having cars of this year stalling while driving which is extremely dangerous. I am fearful my issue could turn into this. I have taken my car to the dealer and it is not throwing any codes. The dealer did say they had cars come in with the issue of them stalling while driving and they've replaced the fuel injector module (a $900 repair). I have also contacted vw about this issue with no resolution.
