[quote=Anonymous]Check online to see if there are recalls on anything anywhere in this model car.

Then look to see if others have posted on auto forums (not DCUM, I mean places like "Hyundai owner forum" etc). Do these first two steps pronto, OP.

Then check your warranty. 
Print it out and go to the dealership with it in hand. (Seeing paper in a customer's hand can make some businesses...nervous. Good.). Tell the dealership they need to give you a loaner car while they keep and drive your car enough to experience the problem. If they balk, immediately take it up to the next level, dealership manager or beyond. The car is so new that you should be very assertive about this. If you do find a recall issue or a problem that other owners have reported, mention it.

Dealerships do not want to deal with you coming back with a new car like this. They'll try to say you put in the wrong gas, you're doing something wrong, etc. I've had it happen. You'll have to TELL them to give you a loaner and find the problem.[/quote]
