Nope.
User error, perhaps?

Do you mean that it stalls at idle?
Or just when you rev the engine? Even in neutral?

If the answer is 'yes' to all of the above questions, take the car to the
dealer as it is still under warranty.
If you answered 'no' to at least one of them, you need to eather feather
the clutch more when shifting into 1st or press harder on the gas pedal.

Hope this helps,
