Hi Whitney, it's nice to meet you . Sorry you are dealing with this.
It sounds like you need to check the engine oil level. If it's low it might make some noise and shut off like this. Just maybe run for a couple of second and then cut off.
Check the oil and let me know please.
Thank you.

My husband and I was driving.. He was passing a car and ravel it up some to past , when we got down the road it started making a clicking sound. When we pull over to check it, the car cut off. We was able to get it into a parking spot and it cut off. I tried to cut it back on and it comes on and jerks and goes right back out

It really sounds to me like a low oil issue is causing this problem. Please check it and let me know.
