Idle/ rough running problem

[Young Stephen]

Is anyone having a problem with idle? Since new my 06 Ion RL has had intermittent idle problems. Looks like it will stall for about 10 seconds then fine. Been to the dealership 3 times with less than 10,000 km. First time they found a loose connection to the supercharger, second time reprogrammed the computer. Seemed to be better, then all of a sudden drove horrible, not acceleration, not smooth and stalled 4 times on the way to the dealership.
Any ideas?

i think your fucked yourself... mine did that to when i first had it... when it would start to do that i just let is sit for a second until it solved it corrected it's self and then it would be fine.. never check for anything wrong... and after i drove it for like 3k miles it doesn't do it anymore... every now and then it comes back a little but nothing like it did when ti was new

Man my car started doing that crap today it was idling rough and actually stalled on me once. I'm ticked off. I already made an appointment to take it in saturday morning. this is the second drivability problem ive taken my car in for. the first time was for a intermintant no start condition.

The car should not stumble and stall when cold. It's one thing to run a little rough, in cold weather you run VERY rich until the engine gets warm enough to vaporize the fuel correctly. It's another thing to stall from not giving it enough gas when it's still cold. If it just stalls over and over again, that's not right. When I say cold, I'm talking in the 20 degree and under range, not 55 or something either.

I have this to, as does pretty much every other car I've ever seen in my life, totally normal. It's warming up.

The intermittent idle fluctuation happens when the car is cold or after being driven for half an hour. Even in freezing conditions, once the car is warmed up it should not happen. That is a minor annoyance, but tells me there is something wrong with this brand new car. I feel like I am justing waiting for something to happen again. That is OK in an old shitbox, but not a brand new car. If the severe hesitation happens again I will be pissed!
