Description of the problem	I purchased a 2010 subaru outback 2. 5i with a 6 speed manual transmission on may 2010. What has been happening is upon fully depressing the clutch to either slow the car down and/or bring the car to a coast the engine rpms drops rather rapidly which on several occasions has resulted in the vehicle borderline stalling before the engine computer compensates by increasing the idle slightly while coasting or slowing down with the clutch depressed. This is far more prevalent when the a/c is running. Today (sun 7/25) i was approaching a right turn, the a/c was running. I started the process of slowing down the car by fully depressing the clutch and braking. When i started to turn the steering wheel to enter the turn i barely could do so. The reason for this is the engine this time stalled. Generally you can hear the engine shudder before a stall, in this case it did not. It almost resulted in the vehicle hitting a pole with my two young children inside. The car restarted right away and i was able to resume normal operations. During the course of this same day on at least two more occasion i fully depressed the clutch to either slow the car or coast and the car shudder indicating a potential stall but the car compensated. This issue needs to be addressed asap because it will result in a serious accident. Thank you.
