Can you help me with my car problem?

Tree Down. I knew why everyone was turning around. So I stopped. Put my car in reverse. Backed passed the intersecting road. Stopped. Placed the transmission in drive. Attempted to go forward but the engine turned off. (3/4 of a full tank) Nothing too abrupt neither. No skidding, or spinning tires.

The situation before for that. I was sitting at a traffic light. This one generally takes longer than most. So I waited and waited. Then the light turned green. So I attempted to mildly accelerate. My car traveled a short distance (a few feet) before cutting off. I do not remember the fuel level that day.

2007 with V-6 47,XXX miles on it.

Update:

I really need more answers.

    I'm wondering if you don't maybe have condensation (water) in your gas. Go to the auto parts store & get a can of "dry gas", and follow the directions. Sometimes you'll need a couple of treatments to get all the water out of the fuel system.

    I could be bad gas. Try adding some SEAFOAM to your gas tank. (Seafoam is a gas additive that helps get ride of the water in your gas tank. It also cleans you fuel system) It that doesn't work replace your fuel filter.
