There was also a very strong gas smell and white smoke coming from the exhaust. Have you noticed that too? If so, it may be your injectors.

Everything you described matches up with my bad injectors symptoms. The difference is as soon as I recognized the problem, I killed it and summoned the tow truck.

Good luck. (And thank god for the warranty.)
I'm leaning towards injectors too from what I've read. And I haven't smelled a gas smell but white smoke does come from the exhaust when the engine is cold but that seems normal to me.
