You might have a problem with your alternator. You should probably get that checked.
Mine did that and it was the ignition switch. Seems the weight of the key fob was ever so slightly turning the key off. Once I put in a new ignition switch it was fine. $39.00 at Autozone.
It sounds like a camshaft solenoid. Its an easy fix i did it myself with the new part and a 10mm socket with an extention. If u hook up the check engine reader a code should come up if im right for me it was P0010. I had the same problem with my 2012 chevy equinox. It would stall when im at a light or in reverse but be fine if im driving.
