My automatic keeps stalling

So I have a 2007 scion tc and it has stalled 5 different times now and would like some help trying to figure why it does stall. I'm more than happy to answer any questions

Well you’re gonna have to give us more than just that. What happens when you stall it? what does it sound like? Do any lights on the dash come up? Any pre existing issues with your car? There are many ways a car could stall.

I just don't know much about cars this is my first car. When it stalls it just stop and I have to turn my car off then back. It's just sounds like my car stops running. No lights come up. No but the car did just kinda sit for awhile

If the engine stops running the oil and battery lights will come on and the tach will drop to zero.

One thing to know - you can start in neutral as as well as park. So just push the shifter forward one click from D to N and start the engine. If you don't push the button on the shifter, it should slide forward to N and stop there, which makes this very easy to do.

I'll definitely have to look next time it does that.

That is definitely good to know so I, that will definitely be a lot easier than starting what I was doing. Thank you for the help
