Automatic Emergency Braking problem

Over the past couple years I have become worried to even drive this vehicle. Well taken care of and maintenance completed regularly. This vehicle has been in the shop 7 times in the past couple years but no one can tell me exactly what is going on. Only 1 place has told me that I need extensive electrical work but couldn't tell me what exactly the problem was. Issue #1: when coming to a stop, and/or idle, the engine seems to give up and vehicle shuts off. Issue #2: when started engine sounds like a. High pitch raddle. Issue #3: occasionally, while driving on the interstate going around 60 - 65 mph the electrical inside the vehicle will flash and everything shuts off and the emergency brake is applied automatically. This has become dangerous - if I wasn't wearing a seatbelt I could have been thrown through the windshield. Issue #4: replace fuel cap sensor comes on even though it's been replaced. Issue #5: engine power reduced notification comes on even though it had a new battery and alternator. Issue #6: occasionally speakers sound blown and you can hear a buzzing as you accelerate. Issue #7: stabili track, abs, and tpms sensors all come on at once and go away at once atleast 4 times a week. Issue #7: rear cam doesn't always work, sometime either black or static looking. Issue #8: sometimes key sticks in ignitiin and will not turn on unless being jumped by another vehicle. Issue #9: often upon starting the whole dash goes black and will stay that way for several hours then comes back on. I've checked all fuses and multiple mechanics can't figure it out. As time goes by without repair I'm scared to even drive this vehicle. Why can't someone figure this out!!.
