Description of the problem	Whenever i come to a complete stop while my vehicle is in drive, the rpm's idle at a dangerously low level that upon releasing the brakes in order to drive again, the vehicle sputters and struggles to take off. A couple of times the vehicle has actually stalled out while sitting at an intersection while trying to drive. The only way i have been able to find a fix to this problem is by keeping the air conditioning on which appears to make the vehicle rpm's run a little higher in turn not allowing the vehicle to get to dangerously low rpms. As far as i can tell there are no recalls out there pertaining to this while other individuals appear to be experiencing the same thing. Dealership states that it is normal. I purchased this vehicle about 2 months ago so i am not sure if this was a common occurrence with the prior owner. Seems like if hyundai were to increase the rpms while it is in an idle state (in drive) then this would not happen.
