Description of the problem	On jan 29, 2019, i purchased the car new, from a dealer in south florida with approximately 13 miles on the odometer. The vehicle has a manual transmission. After driving the vehicle less than one mile from the dealer, the vehicle stalled at a stop light. At the time, the vehicle was stationary, in neutral, with the clutch petal in the fully raised position, and had been idling for about 10 minutes prior to the occurrence. I restarted the car and within a few seconds, the car stalled again under the same conditions. I returned to the dealer to have the car inspected. On the short drive back, the car stalled 3 additional times under similar circumstances. The dealer couldn't find any explanation for the stalling. Unable to replicate the issue, i drove the car for approximately 150 more miles. On february 1, 2019, the issue recurred, again at a stoplight under similar conditions. I can assert, with confidence, that none of the occurrences were due to driver error. Additionally, the car is not equipped with an auto-start system (which could have explained the behavior). Although the issue has not resurfaced since then (now about 3000 miles later), the car exhibits a rough idle, especially when started cold. There is no visible fluctuation in the rpms on the tachometer, but i can audibly hear and feel the engine "skipping". The car build date was october 2018.
