Dodge Caliber manual transmission with 1. 8 l engine. I have had the vehicle stall while driving in slow moving traffic on secondary streets (3x now). The first 2 were within a couple weeks of getting the vehicle new and I thought they were driver related as I was getting used to the clutch. Both were situations where I wasn't coming to a full stop- just rolling slowly with the clutch in and then braking a little, letting out the clutch to continue the roll and repeating. But the 3rd was recently where I was making a left turn and slowly letting out the clutch, I was coasting to let a car go by (not coming to a full stop) before making the turn, and as I released the clutch gently to provide the power to turn onto the side street it just stalled and I was left cranking on the steering wheel to avoid hitting the car parked on the corner. I quickly pushed in the clutch and restarted the vehicle, regaining steering and braking power.
