QUICK, engine just cut off

Coming back from lunch today and while looking for a parking spot the engine just cut off itself. The RPM needle was kinna shaking at like 200-400 rpm (very low) and shut off. At first I just start it up and the engine kinna shake a little bit (cuz of low rpm) but still on, but after like 5 times like that, It would shut off when I put into D. It was a short drive to the Nissan service so I drove the car there (a pain). The service guy said they'll check the car on Monday cuz they were almost closing and I asked him if he has any idea what's wrong he said not until they run a check on it.

you guys know what's wrong? what need to be repair or replace?

thanks

You ran out of gas maybe? it could be that your gas gauge is broken and you are out of gas when it showed u still had gas.
