More then likely this is a battery issue or the TIPM which is like the body controller has failed. Specifically the ASD relay on this vehicle is part of the TIPM and will require replacement.

The ASD is the auto shut down relay which basically supplies power to the ignition system. When this has an issue the vehicle will just shut off.

However, the vehicle shifting to neutral is a separate issue. So let's address the stalling issue here and we can get a new post started on the shifting issue.

Here is a guide that will help with the stalling issue:
