It happened again that night, so we took it back in. This only happens while sitting that we've noticed. They still can't find a problem with it. Our salesmen said"it has an eco button on it, and that makes it do that" ???? Anyway, they will call me today later, and I'm not sure if this is something that I should take and hope it is OK. Or if I should give it back? Any idea what this might be, and why they can't find the problem? We have a powertrain warranty, but I hear it doesn't cover much if something should happen.

If they can't figure it out, and you are not comfortable with it. Give back and get something else. If you have and owners manual, it will describe the "Economy Mode" that the Eco button control. It basically make the PCM operate the vehicle in a more fuel efficient mode by control shift points, idle speed and various other parameters.
