2017 Toyota RAV4 Engine Problems

“After driving for about 20 minutes in cold weather, when the vehicle stops at red light/stop signs RPM drops to 400-500 resulting in noticeable shaking like the engine is about to stall. I'm afraid the vehicle my stall in the future.”

They cannot find any faults or codes related to the issue and claim everything is normal. The vehicle feels like it will stall at every light.
