When I go to start driving from being completely stopped the car hops or lunges forwards repeatdily. It is worse the faster I try to accelerate. If I accelerate slower it is less noticeable.

Check your transmission/transaxle fluid levels.

I had the dealership take a look at this, the tube connecting the air intake filter and the intake manifold had come loose, this caused to much air to come in if I tried to accelerate fast from a dead stop and the engine would then cut out (sensors cut it out I think)

Just had to tighten this back up and now it is all good.
