1 Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 06/27/2019

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.

2 Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 06/08/2019

I was traveling on the highway with the cruise control on at 65 mph and it suddenly slowed down or disengaged for no reason. I didn't think much of it and returned to the same speed and turned on the cruise again. Then about 15 minutes later, when traffic begin to slow ahead, I tried hitting the brakes and had zero braking ability. The cruise did not disengage and I had to pull the e brake to get the car to slow down causing the car to fish tail and almost hit a concrete barrier.

3 Cruise Control problem

Failure Date: 05/01/2018

I purchased my vehicle new at 19,000 miles the adaptive cruise control system has failed which also controls the autonomous braking, the extra 2500 dollars for this system is useless, and will not hold a re-calibration.
