Power Train,Electrical System

Electrical issues the entirety of owning this car. now the car has a dead transmission at 88k miles. the car has caused me to almost be t-boned in a intersection twice due to unexpected loss of acceleration and power. before trans went down it would stall, hesitate, and now it is completely dead and wont move and i have to put a new transmission in my car. completely unsafe, i could have lost my life or at very least
