Mine did that and it was the ignition switch. Seems the weight of the key fob was ever so slightly turning the key off. Once I put in a new ignition switch it was fine. $39.00 at Autozone.

It sounds like a camshaft solenoid. Its an easy fix i did it myself with the new part and a 10mm socket with an extention. If u hook up the check engine reader a code should come up if im right for me it was P0010. I had the same problem with my 2012 chevy equinox. It would stall when im at a light or in reverse but be fine if im driving.
