I had issues with my used 2015 BRZ when I had just bought it, it wouldn't start sometimes. and one day, it was dead and would not start even after messing with the battery, fuses, etc.

Apparently something in the starter assembly was effed up. I got warranty work done on it and they replaced the whole engine wiring harness along with the fuses, which fixed the problem.

HOWEVER, now, every time I roll to a stop, if I stay in second gear and let it shift itself to first (AT), it will dip really low, 400-500 rpms and then recover back to 700-800.

This happens if I shift down to 1st as well when coming to a stop but not as much.

Furthermore, I have seen multiple times that while this rather severe idle dip is happening, the DRL's will shut off for a split second at the very lowest point, then turn on once it recovers.
(I've only seen this when I pull up to a gas station or somewhere that has big glass windows and I can see the front of the car from the reflection), They only turn off for about 1/2 a second.

It has never died on me. Can anyone speculate what this problem is indicative of?
My car actually idles extremely well when just sitting, or any other time than when it is coming to a stop.
Hello brosifSmith and welcome to …...The Forum …….

So, …….. is there a problem ……??

I think maybe you are looking for something to call a problem …..

However, if it bothers you …… I suggest you follow through on your strategy for the AT reflash, that just may make you feel better......
