Hello, My car shut off while I'm driving. When it shut off I can start it right back. Starting to do it more often. The guy at the shop put some chevron injection cleaner in it. That worked for a while now it started back shutting off.

Check the main relay. These often cause the fuel pump not to power up, causing the symptoms you describe. Also look into the ignition switch, there may be a recall on that if I recall correctly. That can also cause the symptoms you mentioned.
