8000 mi Engine would intermittently stumble on freeway especially on first drive of the day. My dealer diagnosed the problem as the low pressure fuel pump and replaced it. Engine consistently misses on cold (overnight) start for approximately a minute and then runs normal. My dealer diagnosed this as a defective fuel injector. They ordered the parts and replaced the fuel injector.
