That's ridiculous. What year make and model car do you have?

It's a 10+ year old Maruti Suzuki Swift Dzire from India. See my reply to previous comment.. it doesn't seem like software fault (at least not fully).

There are a lot of mechanical reasons your engine will die. For example crankshaft or camshaft position sensors failing will do it because the engine control module can’t time fuel injection or spark properly.
