There is a tsb for your car about the long crank and hard to start issue with the mtx trans. Mine does it all the time and all the tsb says is that 5 seconds of crank time is normal for this engine trans combo. PAin in the but cause 5 secinds of cranking is realy alot for a new car. As for the hasatation on accel it could be your a/c compressor coming on. Even if you dont have the a/c on the compressor will still turn on to dry out the air in the car. I think the only setting it wont come on is on vent, Any thing else i do believe it comes on. I work at a dealer and my car still does it and its a pain in the but. There doesnt seem to be anything that we can find to fix it, other than pulling the fuse for the a/c compressor so it wont cycle. When you take it in, if the dealer can find something else wrong can you post cause it would be nice to resolve the hesatation..
