Icon4 2005 Civil LX clicks during city driving and acts as if it's shutting down

Hi all!
Have been going to a few shops, but was able to confirm that the alternator is fine, along with the battery.
Brain has no error codes, despite flipping up the check engine light once or twice.
Fuses, harmonizer all okay...

However, occasionally when I am driving, the electrical system in the car (radio, lights, etc) flash and then the car acts like it's dying.
Any ideas? I'm nervous about driving it, because this saga has been over the past two years (3 tows in that time) and I don't get to use the radio or the AC very often because of this issue (had an old saturn with a bad alternator and it was fine as long as I didn't use those systems).
The shop I took it to (in North Orange County, California) said the dealer might know (they did a test with the last recall and things looked fine) or an electrical specialist.
Just trying to gauge what to expect price wise and work wise.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
