Engine shut off after hitting the rev limiter

[Double]

Was going WOT @70 mph when I forgot to shift and hit the rev limiter. The engine turned of instantly when it happened. A lot happened really fast, think it told me to shift to neutral. Dash was still working and no check engine light or anything. Stopped the car and wasn't starting, it wasn’t even trying to start. About 5 mins later I tried again and fired up with no issues also drove fine without any signs of a problem. It was 86F outside at the time, so A/C was running. It’s a 2018 GT A10

Things that stood out
- when trying to turn on/off the ignition it was turning the dashboard on/off and saw some weird exterior temps that weren’t correct.
- checked the voltage from the dashboard, was showing 13-13.5 when on, 11.5-12 when off. I always remember it being 14.5 when driving.
- tested the battery later 12.3 @60%, needs replacing after 8 years.
- checked forscan (forgot to save anything) thing that stood out was a u0100 on the PAM. The PCM had no errors but other modules showed they lost comms with the PCM at one point.
- few weeks prior the engine had a very brief stutter when coming to a stop, it almost shut off. Dropped a few revs when idle but came back.

I am hoping it’s just battery related

Will contact the dealer to see what they think

Low oil or bad oil pressure sensor can do this sort of thing.

I've had that happen to me a couple of times, 2018 gt A10. I was in sport mode, in S and another time in track mode it hit the limiter and shut down or if it's stop start driving it doesn't like it. It just wants to go and seems to get confused as to which gear it needs and shuts down. It just seems to be protecting it's self.
I just pulled over waited a minute and it started up no worries. You do have to turn it off and wait a minute before starting again.

I've done that a couple of times just put clutch in and shift to higher gear and go

Is it a boosted set up? Are you running out of fuel?

Yeah I'm wondering if it's more to do with the 10 speed auto.
