The left turning signal blinks when using the right turning signal. Sometimes nothing happens when using the right turning signal. Sometimes the left turning signal blinks a few times before the right turning signal blinks. This is intermittent with no indication when it will happen.

The vehicle is a 2010 Volkswagen Jetta tdi with dsg automatic transmission. On many different occasions the vehicles engine has stalled while the vehicle is in gear at low 0-5 mph. This occurs most frequently in stop/go traffic and occurs when stopping and also pulling away from a stopped position. Once the vehicle has stalled you must turn the ignition to the off position, shift the car into park and then restart the car. Most recently (43,000 miles 8-10-2014) the vehicle stalled at an intersection and I had to start the vehicle three times before I could safely proceed through the intersection. This was stopped at a very busy intersection in philadelphia PA and was dangerous. The vehicle has been to cvm dealership, mechanicsburg, PA (car was purchased at this location Dec 2009) for services. All service work has been completed on as recommended by Volkswagen. This issue was reported and noted on my services records on several different occasions, with no known cause and remedy. I have been told many times that there is no “service code” or “error” code on the vehicles computer. I have also been told that that the dealership could not replicate the issue as I described it. I’m very frustrated at this point as I purchased this car new and paid for an extended warranty to 50,000 miles that is fast approaching. I will be taking the car into the dealership again to see if they can give me any information. I feel this is safety concern for my family and others driving similar vehicles. Please help.
The key can be removed from the ignition while the transmission is not in park allowing the vehicle to roll if on a hill. This is ongoing.
