Truck shutting off randomly - Auto Park?

[JS1500]

My truck has randomly shut off shortly after starting it up a few times in the last few days. When it does, it says something on the screen about shifting the dial to park. The first time this happened I remote started my truck, and right after getting in it turned off. Then I restarted it, and as soon as I put it in drive it shut my truck off. Today I backed out of a parking spot, put it in drive, started driving through a parking lot, and the truck completely shut off. Since the screen says something about shifting the dial, I’m convinced that there is a malfunction happening that’s related with the Auto Park recall. Has anyone else experienced this?

Does your truck have the push to start button?

The auto park recall will have nothing to do with your engine stalling. The reason it says shift to park is because the engine has shut off and you are in gear.

I would be checking fuel pressure when it dies with a mechanical gauge. Fuel pump failures are fairly common.

Nope.
