I'm taking mine in on Friday to have them check this out. What you're describing is spot-on with what I'm experiencing and it's a little un-nerving b/c it does feel like the engine is about to stall.

Stay tuned.... will report back what the dealer says...
The difference with mine is that nothing is on. No A/C or heater. Nothing. I've always felt like either the alternator is very weak on this car or there is something wrong with the ECU and what it's telling the motor to do.

If this were an old carburated motor I'd say the motor is being starved of gas when I brake and all the gas goes to the to one side of the float bowl, but this ISN'T a carburated motor!
