Description of the problem	I have been experiencing a problem while accelerating from a stop or from coasting, such as when a red light has just turned green. I begin to depress the accelerator and the engine just about dies. This has nearly caused me to get "t-boned" at intersections numerous times. I have brought it to the attention of two different subaru dealers and they say that nothing is wrong with it. I have heard that other subaru owners are having this problem but subaru will not admit that this is a safety issue. *jb
