Description of the problem	2012 outback 2. 5i limited with 93k miles stalls intermittently when coming to a complete stop. When placed in park the vehicle will start right up and runs fine. There is no hesitation or engine missing when in motion, only when coming to a full stop. Yesterday it stalled 3 times during a 6 mile round trip to the post office. I am fearful that it will stall while i'm in an intersection waiting to make a left turn and am vulnerable to cross traffic when the light changes. I'm taking it in to the dealer tomorrow and hoping they will be able to fix it. After searching the internet for similar complaints, i understand that tsb 16-90-13 addresses this type of failure, apparently due to a problem with the torque converter.
