Start-Up Problem

I just bought my 2018 Elantra Sport with manual transmission in August 2018. I am having this same problem. When the car is cold, it starts fine. But if I have been driving it, let it sit for about an hour, then go to start it, it will crank and crank and crank. Sometimes it will start, but at a very slow idle and then stall out, and other times it will not start at all on the first try. When I try it a second time, it starts right up. You should not have to press the start button twice. No other cars do this. There is something wrong, and I suspect it is an issue with programming.
