Description of the problem	I bought my outback in march 2010. I noticed my dash lights flickering early in my ownership, but i thought they flickered because maybe i went into a shadow and a sensor caused them to go off and on. The feeling the car is going to stall has happened before, but it was and would only happen every now and again. On a recent trip, january 8, 2012, it did it every time i slowed down for 4 or 5 traffic lights . That really got my attention. I thought maybe my brakes were catching so i took it into my dealer on january 12, 2010. They told me the brakes were fine. After i thought about it, i decided the "catching feeling" actually felt more like l had not depressed a clutch when slowing down and the car was going to stall. The only problem with that theory is that i have an automatic i spoke to my-son in-law about the feeling that the engine is going to stall when i slow down at a light. He mentioned that he had noticed the flickering lights last winter when he drove my car. He explained to me that it was not normal for the lights to do that. He told me to have the alternator checked out. I took it back to the dealer on january 27, 2012. They ran three different diagnostic test and everything checked out fine. I am so afraid the car will cut out on me and i will lose control on the road. I thought i was the only one having this problem, but after my son did an internet search he found a lot of people having the same problem. From the complaints i read most people have a manual transmission.
