2015 Chevrolet Malibu fuel system problems

While driving thru houston, texas on interstate 10 with heavy traffic the engine shut off, the analog instruments shut off, the center my link screen shut off and the digital readout alternated between MPH and miles traveled readout. My wife was driving and attempted to restart the engine, no result. She shifted to neutral and it would not restart. We were able to coast thru several lanes of traffic and safely stop on the side of the road. The car was shifted to park and started.

In august 2019, my 2015 chevy malibu started having with the variable valve timing (vvt) solenoid -part # 12633613 (abt. 80k miles). When accelerating into passing gear, the engine would step out of gear and the rpm's would rev very high while the car slowed. I would have to let off pedal until rpm's lowered, then accelerate slowly. My local garage diagnosed the bad part and began searching for a replacement.
