Weird random problem

Ok guys something is off dont know what is going on ZERO codes stored. Havent made any changes to the car and its running great i have just done routine maintance. But heres the problem sometimes when coming to a stop or while stop random out of the blue the car will be running fine an then bam just turns off like i turned the key off. I put it in gear and starts right back up and runs fine. I have checked for leaks an such an nothing seems amiss. Its weird cus theres no codes 12.06 voltage off and over 14 while running. Its weird cus its random, it starts right up , and runs just fine afterward. Theres nothing that happens before it stalls itll be running perfect just happens and always starts right back up.
