Description of the problem	After leaving work and driving less than one mile, the vehicle's engine stalled while approaching a controlled intersection. The vehicle had to be placed into park and restarted. The ambient temperature was 80 degrees; most auxiliary systems were not in use at the time the incident occurred except for the radio. The vehicle was not being operated in its optional "paddle shifter" mode--it was in the standard automatic transmission setting. The vehicle is currently being assessed at a dealership, although preliminary diagnosis from a dealership representative indicates there is "nothing wrong." however, a simple google search of "2015+ subaru wrx cvt stalling" yields a number of other vehicles that have experienced the same issue--the vehicle stalling while at low speeds. Some of the other owners have indicated they have paid for the replacement of oil control valves from their own pocket to resolve the issue.
