When the MIL indicats, an error has been detected and being intermittent, it could mean the problem is due to an electrical fault.

Get a scan done and post the EXACT trouble codes here so we can understand if it is related to the erratic shifting and stalling.

After engine stalled, were you able to restart and was it easy?
