Engine stalls at 1st start of the day, then stalls immediately after the next 2-3 starts. This has happened 4 times since I've had the car (18 months). No check engine light on and dealer finds no codes or faults. Problem is on going.

2nd trip into dealer for stalling. Performed ECM update. After update car continued to stall after first start of the day but not as often. Another thing I noticed was my fuel range on a full tank of gas went from 665 km to 615 km. This brought to the attention of service mgr who never responded to calls or emails. Brought car back in shortly after and no issues found on their end. Car still has less range on full tank of gas!
