5 Engine Stall problem

Failure Date: 02/26/2010

The engine stalled lots of time when I used brake to stop at a stop sign, or when I drove at low speed in traffic, such as 1 to 5 mile per hour. I had to press gas at a stop sign while I put the car in parking position to keep the engine alive. It took the dealer more than one month to fix it. The first time the dealer returned it to me and told me the problem had been fixed, the car stalled within 200 ft after I left the dealer. I walked back and told the dealer. The dealer told me to drive it back to home and "let the computer learn by itself". I did as the dealer told me but the car stalled as before. I had to bring it back to the dealer. Dealer changed the computer for me. The engine-stall problem is solved. Right now, the car (most probably the engine) still vibrates/shakes strongly when I stop the car at the stop sign, at the red light, and drive the car at very low speed (such as 1 to 5 mile per hour).
