Such problems are not covered by warranty but the IAC should be if vehicle is under warranty.

Most such problems are due to dirt clogging the IAC passages and cleaning the passages shoudl solve the problem.

The simple way of doing it is to spray carb cleaner into the ports of the throttle body and allowing to soak for a few minutes. Clean the inner part of the throttle body where the trottle plate closes and you are ready to go.
