My engine shuts off sometimes when I’m slowing down.

My engine shuts off sometimes when I’m slowing down.

I have a 2010 Ford Escape XLT. In the next couple of days after I put gas in my tank, my engine will shut off as I’m slowing down. As I apply the breaks (sometimes not always) my battery light will turn on followed by the oil light, then the engine will shut off entirely. When I turn the car off then on again it will start up like normal. My mechanic has had my car for days and can’t get it to shut down as I experience it to. The alternator is brand new so thats not an issue, I’m frustrated because we can’t quite figure out what is wrong. Has anybody else experienced this?

it’s your battery that needs to be reset. No lie you must turn the key ignition onand off over and over again while car is off. Then move the shift gears and pump the brakes as well. Hope this helps.
