21 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 08/01/2006

Car wants to stall from idle at random times, example. . . You could be at a light turning left and when its clear to turn,you press on the gas to go and it wants to stall only for a small moment then engages and it's fine. I'm afraid one of these times it will completely stall and cause an accident. This car has done this from the beginning, I am the only owner as we bought the car brand new. I listed the car incident date at Aug 1,2006 as an estimate when I bought the car but has happened multiple times on and off. I waited for a recall for this and it has never happened but is very much needed.
