2 Vehicle Speed Control problem

Failure Date: 08/10/2015

I was driving car on middle lane on highway approaching traffic, when my car completely shut off. This was after getting a complete tune up including oil change, new batteries and tires. Towed car to repair shop and after repair, the engine light remained on and then there was smell of gas and car continued to stall. Took car back to repair shop, where the fuel injector was replaced and gas smell was eliminated. But engine light remained on and car completely shut off again. Took it to repair shop, yet again. This time, starter was changed and mechanic claims that a new ecu/ecm is needed for engine but part for 2006 model has been discontinued and is now running on 2004 eci/ecm and engine light still remains on and started is a bit rough.
