Car shuts off abruptly when stopped or at times when speed is decreased to almost parked. This typically happens at red lights or when car is going under 10 mpg. It's happened in bumper-to-bumper traffic. I have to put it in park and restart the push start. This has been going since last summer (2019) or so.
At least once a week, my chevy Cruze 2016 engine shuts off completely while idle at a stop sign of red light. I have auto shut off and when the auto shut off is in play it never cuts back on when taking my foot off the brake. I have to put my car into park and restart the engine.
