Same issue except started with car bucking back and forth while I was stopped at a light. Luckily covered by warranty.

I was coming off of a light when suddenly the car lost nearly all power. The wrench light came on and the car was in limp mode. I was able to get into a parking lot fairly close. I turned the car off and checked all the connections under the hood, but saw nothing wrong. I started the car and it acted normal again. I immediately when home and called for road side assistance. They picked up the car the following afternoon and determined it was the VCT solenoids. Both were replaced and I had my car the following day.

car stalled. Restarted and engine ran rough. Check engine light was on. Dealer replaced both VCT solenoids under warranty. somewhat concerned that this happened with so little mileage. Also not happy that the dealer did not have the part in stock and I had to wait 2 days for it to come in.
