Car shutting off randomly

Car shutting off randomly
My friend has an 02 X type 2.5, it randomly shuts off. I have seen it do it while accelerating and at a stop light. No code was thrown until yesterday. The dealer says the code points to the instrument cluster but isn't sure that will fix the problem. Any ideas I can try before he spends $1k on this part?
The car has about 70K on it. I will also add it has done it about 7 times. And sometimes it will crank right back up other times it will take about five minutes before it will crank.
I am getting the code tonight so I will post it later.

RE: Car shutting off randomly
That sucks grim...hopefully you get it figured out bud...
Looking up ford codes this is what comes up on google...
Ford code
P1638 Can Link ECM/INSTM Circuit / Network Malfunction
Jaguar code
P1638 CAN Link ECM/INSTM Circuit/Network
So the code is the same for both ford and jag which I assumed would be.
Could it be from the ecm being loose or something techs???
