Car stalling issues

My 2000 Maxima is an automatic transmission with 280,599 miles. It had been having stalling issues and acceleration issues and I had the mass air flow sensor replaced , cleaned the throttle body and cam shaft position sensor replaced and everything was working fine. And the battery and alternator were tested and they were in good working order. The day after the work was done the battery and brake light came on and I took it back and they found nothing wrong so they said it might go off in a few days and to just let it be. This morning the lights on my dash board were very dim, the headlights started to dim as well, then the clock turned off, the radio turned off, the ABS light came on, then it stalled. It cranked a few minutes later for me to get it out of traffic and does in a parking lot. It stays cranked for 2 to 3 minutes before the abs light would come on and things got dim on the dashboard and the car shuts off. I replaced the battery 4 months ago and the alternator tested at 14 volts a few days ago, So idk what is going on now but any help would be appreciated.

Sounds like the alternator, my car did the same things yours is and they said mine was fine. Once I replaced it, everything went back to normal.

Pull the alternator and get it rebuilt at a rebuilder shop.

Better than gambling on a parts store and cheaper than a new one. Mine cost $65 to rebuild.

Junkyard is a good alternative also. They have 30 day return if part is bad. I"d go to Junkyard get alternator and take it strait to auto parts store for testing. If it test good put it on car if not take it back and pull another one. Its a gamble but I have had them last 6 months and others 6 years.

It was the alternator. However my husband talked me into selling the car and getting a new one. It got pricy to fix anyway. Thank you guys for the help.
