Acceleration and stalling!

Hey everyone new to the thread here. I have an automatic 03 Maxima completely bone stock. Barely rolled over 200k today. I’m having some strange issue I can’t pinpoint as it happens sometimes. I can be driving and whenever the car hits 4.5k rpm the car will literally die and all my lights on the cluster will light up until I let go of the gas then it literally comes back to life! It happens throughout any gear but again it has its days where it won’t do it and days it will. Besides all the lights lighting up on the cluster I have an aftermarket double din and when the car dies the radio will also reset.
The battery is new. I previously had a lot of corrosion on the terminals so I got new ones and cleaned up the posts. It runs and drives fine gives me no problems besides that issue. Kinda sucks when I need to pass someone up really quick and it decides to die instead of help me out.
Ive tried searching through previous forums to see what I can find but no dice for me but I also suck at searching hence why I’m posting here so I’m sorry I’m advance but any leads would surely help thank you!

I literally just joined the forum like5 minutes ago in search of an answer for this same issue. Like you said mine has it’s day but I always think twice if I should risk passing someone or not. My car also has a issue where it suddenly does the same “dying” think but goes into some weird limp mode where it won’t let me accelerate. It’ll just stay at idle. I just bought the car and love it. But this is ridiculous. Mine just hit 125k
