Welcome to AF! Does the car restart readily or do you need to wait a while. If it restarts then you will need to replace the crank position sensor. It is probably overheating and shutting off. One other question, does the security light come on when this happens. If it does you will need to reset the security system.

Hello No the Car does not restart if you wait till the next day it will. As far as the security light it does not come on. I've been down that road with the security system acting up had that fix at the dealer.

stalls at highway speed or when you go to stop?

It is possible that the crank position sensor is overheating and once it cools down it will restart. I would suspect the fuel pump however since it stalls at speed and must sit for an extended period to restart. The fuel pump will overheat and stop working. The only way to fix it is to change the pump. Before changing the pump, replace the fuel pump relay under the hood. The fuel pump relay will cause the pump to shut down if it is going bad. Use only and OEM relay when you replace it.
