Description of the problem	Engine stalls after abrupt stop. For example, i was on post road in westport connecticut and slowed down from 25mph+ very quickly with a hard brake. The engine immediately stalled and all lights on the dashboard were activated. Restarting the car allowed me to proceed. This issue also occurred on a highway (the meritt parkway) several weeks ago. This problem is consistently reproducible and has happened 10+ times. Subaru has acknowledged the issue (https://www. Forbes. Com/sites/jensen/2017/07/07/facing-complaints-subaru-offers-extended-warranties-on-1-5-million-vehicles/#6e78473e79dc) and "extended" my warranty up to 100k, but my car currently has 106k miles. I brought the car to hank may's in norwalk, but they were unable to find a cause for the issue. I have reached out to subaru concurrently with this report. They will be examining my car to determine what the issue is and whether it will be covered.
