I've only had my Alero (2.4L Quad 4) for a little over 3 months now, and I'm having a couple problems.

I have a coolant leak somewhere, which isn't a huge deal.... I just haven't been able to find it. But I'm also having some problems with accelerating. When I accelerate from a stop the engine hesitates and shudders. Most of the time it works its way through it, but once it stalled on me.

I've done some reading and it seems like a number of things could cause this; Misfire (but the check engine light isn't flashing), MAF sensor, bad motor mount, tranny problems, and a couple others.

I'm going to start with the easy things first (changing the plugs, checking the mounts, etc)... But I figured I would ask if this is a common problem with Alero's. If so, what usually causes it?
