I have been thinking on one possible reason for engine shuttering or about to 'die fire'.
AFAIK, Exora's CVT does have a clutch but it is the wet type. Even though it is wet, it is still a clutch so I presume it will have similar characteristic of any clutch like the one found in manual transmission, though to a less degree.
For example. With the Exora CVT, if you are on a slope and did not give the engine more petrol, the car will slip back just like a manual transmission would. But a real Automatic Transmission wouldn't.
Now in a manual transmission and if you starting to engage/disengage the clutch and if you do not give the engine enough petrol, engine will shutter or 'die fire'. The same thing may be happening here with the Exora because it happens when you change gear (put into Reverse etc). So why not give the Exora engine more petrol and see if the problem goes away. If it does, then that should be it.
My 2 sen
The engine should not stall under normal operation circumstances. When you engage the clutch (masuk R, D or L, or brakes are off), the engine should be able to cope by increasing the RPM and the car should creep instead of stall. On a slope, if the engine is unable to hold the car still, the clutch will open slightly to allow some slip and your car will roll backwards. But still it should not stall.
Stalling means the engine is out of tune dy.
