Should I worry?
I have 28,000 miles on my 2010 and have not had a single problem, but I do have this concern.
The last few times I started her up after a few days in the garage, it sputtered before it caught and idled OK. It has always fired right up even in the winter.
My first reaction was fouled plugs, but at only 28k? Is it worth pulling a plug to see? I gave it an "Italian tune-up" on my way in to work this morning and it will sit in my garage for a few days when I will try it again.
Has anyone had the same experience?
Thanks

Unless your dealer is 100% good, I wouldnt take it in unless it got worse or continues to happen. My car has never done this, but there are plenty of dealer horror stories out there. Dont mean to bring my problems up, but my car is at a stealership right now getting the rear end replace cause they effed up changing the pinion seal. It may be something very simple that you can do and not have to have a dealer look at. Like others suggested try things such as the fuel filter, but maybe you should also take a look at the plugs. Have you ever used any additives in the car such as octane booster? Also what grade fuel do you use?
