The Cruise Control problem

Since the first month I have owned the car, the car frequently idles low (~500rpm) when the weather is warm. Car has no power and will sometimes stall when I remove my foot from the gas. Car has a 5sp manual transmission. Has been into the dealer 14 times for the same failure without resolution.   Read details...

Both incidents were reported to the dealership and the first time they said there was nothing wrong. Now this time they said that it's not covered on the warranty.   Read details...
