Dashboard Flickering

Hello,
This happens every morning and some other time during the day, and i have to put the car S gear, because if i use D, you can feel the car coughing and then the engine shuts down or im just driving on D on the highway and the engine shuts down too.

Thanks in advance.

Definitely looks to be electrical. I'd start by making sure the battery cables are tight at both ends and the battery is good. I'd then move on to the alternator and voltage regulator. I'm guessing there's a bad ground or a short somewhere.
