Description of the problem	Well at present my car only has about 400 miles on it i only picked it up on 4/4/2018 & it's starting to sound like the 2016 ford fiesta i traded in.. When stopped at a light the idle gets rough and if this was the 1960's i would say it had a bad spark plug or carburetor issues; however, this is 2018 so not sure but it's the only thing i can relate the idle issue with.. I spoke with the salesperson at the dealership that sold me the car but he said he knows nothing about inner workings of cars so i made an appointment with the service department for 4/25/2018 since i cannot get there at the times they want me to; and until then i can only monitor it.. This issue started after i had the car approximately one week; nothing like florida car dealers selecting a car for me off their lot that has issues..
