Engine suddenly dies

Maxima SV 2014 - GCC Specs
I got the brand new car from the dealer in 2015, and been facing strange issues since then.
The car engine suddenly switches off, while the whole electrical system stays on, I switch the gear to neutral, press the brake pedal slightly, and press the start-engine switch… everything goes back to normal
This happened like 4-5 times during the 7 years.
first time, the dealership team told me that the +ve terminal for the battery cable was loose and they replaced it.
The issue happened again twice last week, and it’s really dangerous, because everytime this happened I was braking/slowing down after a long drive, and this usually happens at an exit/u-turn so the steering locks at a critical place on the road.
there is no any other issue with the car, and it has been maintained in Nissan dealership so far.

Sounds like a low idle condition, maybe a vacuum leak or maf sensor. Have you performed the idle relearn?

any codes?
