The Vehicle Shudder problem

Car shakes then stalls when coming to a stop. Stalling began at approximately 75,000 miles(November 2018) but happened only twice in 4 months so I didn't think much of it, but today 3/5/19 it happened twice(I now have 79,000 miles). Have an appointment at Subaru to have car serviced on 3/11/19.   Read details...
