Ive experienced this problem last year, in traffic conditions, its happening again in traffic/ on red light (sometimes) just rolling not applying gas, or when stopped and holding the brake, the rpms drop extremely low (200- 100 rpm), the engine begins to rumble and shake. The cure to this is to apply gas, I also noticed that this does not happen in neutral or in park ( most likely due to the lower load on the engine) no Idea as to what this is, I looked at the engine belt and it looks fine, but then again I dunno.

Im thinking that the fuel injectors are dirty?
Bringing her in tommorow for the fuel tank recall, after they install a new tank I will get some injector cleaner.

Any ideas as to what this may be?

From the symptoms you describe I would check the PCV valve as it could be getting blocked. Also you could give the throttle body a clean with a suitable carb cleaner. Lets know how you make out.
