2002 Dodge Durango: engine stalls while driving

While driving, no matter what speed the vehicle starts to sputter, loses power and will stall. I was low on gas, and took my car to a local gas station for fuel. After putting $10 in my car was running extremely rough. I was doing about 20 MPH, when it just shut off. Brakes got real hard. After re starting the vehicle all seemed normal. Then, I drove about 3 car lengths and it did it again at a red light. I tried pushing the gas to see if that would do anything, it didnt. I drove all in , about 3 miles, and the car stalled 7 times. While in the drive through, it stalled 3 abd at one point jerked so far I thought I was going to hit the car in front of me. Vehicle speed does not matter , as it will slowly lose power and turn off. I was driving locally on a city street. My best guess to this problem would be something related to the evap system, quite possibly the purge valve but im not 100% sure but this situation is very unsafe, I have 2 small children and cannot drive this vehicle. During my trip the speed was between 20-45 MPH

The mechanic also indicated that the wiring harness may need to be replaced; however, the part was no longer in production for the year, make, and model vehicle.

Vehicle stalls intermittently with out warning at any speed including in park and while idling. When this occurs power steering is lost, gauges freeze in last position, no check engine light. Vehicle starts right back up without hesitation. During my 7 minute drive to work it may still once or not at all up to 7 times. Vehicle is currently sitting at a dodge dealership garage where they are unable to diagnose it due to vehicle not giving and codes even with it stalling for them multiple times. I already replaced the crankshaft position sensor and it didn't fix the issue. My options are take my car back still stalling or replace the PCM $500-$900 which may not be the problem then I'm out the money. I guess fingers crossed since no one at this garage has ever seen a vehicle not throw a code with them witnessing the issue

A valve seat in my cylinder head came off during normal engine operation causing total engine destruction. The valve seat (made of steel) dislodged itself and destroyed the aluminum head and the piston in that cylinder. This is a factory default common in these engines. I was driving down a busy road when the valve locked up, lost compression, causing my brakes to go out and my engine to stall. I had to pull off the road to avoid the car stopping in front of me.. This is a documented failure on 1999-2002 chrysler- jeep 4.7l engines.
