I got an oil change and transmission fluid change about a couple of weeks ago. I don't know if it is related, but about a week after my car would shut off when I'm stopped at a red light, but once I restart it, it comes on again. I don't experience it on the highway, however my vehicle runs like it is in limp-in mode. If i come off the highway and I'm in stop and go, it will not shut off. If I'm city driving, and the car has been on for about 10-15 minutes it is bound to happen. It happens periodically, but that could be because I'm in the car for short periods of time. I have had 3 mechanics perform diagnostics and no codes have shown up nor has the problem occured when they were in the car with me, but as I said that could happen because I had just gotten off the highway. It doesn't happen when the car is in park and idling, but if I'm driving and try to put the car in park at stop lights, it has happened. I am trying to get an honest answer to what the problem might be. It is becoming an inconvenience and I want to take care of the problem before it gets worse. Thank you
