Problems with 2004 Nissan Altima ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

While i was pulling out from a parking lot, my car just cut off. i have not had the money to even take it to see what was wrong with it until recently and was told that both of my catalytic converters were going bad and that it would cost $1100 to get it fixed. so i checked online to see it was any recalls on it and it was several but was told it did not include my car. since the first time that it cut off it has done it at least 6 more times. once i was in the middle of the street and was almost rear ended by the car behind me. i don't understand how the recalls say my make and model and mileage of my altima but it doesn't include my car. *tr
