Mine has started doing that again a decent bit.  Did it last year so I replaced the battery and it stopped, now it is doing it again.

Hope it is not on its way out!  Do you keep the battery on a tender?  If not driven enough on a regular basis, might want to at least monthly tender-ize.  See if it makes a difference.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Thats NOT System Off to save battery!  Its System maintenance which sometimes applies updates to the sync system IIRC!  Z

The G-MAX Justice is built from the company's G-MAX AS-05 and G-MAX RS, with SmartGrip technology, a strong center rib and stable shoulder blocks for crisp steering and maximum grip. The silica all-season compound and siping ensure up to 15% better wet braking performance, according to the company. It is manufactured in the United States.

StabilityTreadTM technology offers a wide footprint and longer tread life — up to 15% better than a leading competitor, according to General Tire.

The G-MAX Justice will be available in six sizes, including the Chevrolet Caprice PPV, Impala Police, and Tahoe PPX; Dodge Charger Pursuit; and Ford Police Interceptor Sedan and Utility. The G-Max Justice is scheduled for availability beginning October 2018.  Z

So I am loosing my daily driver which is currently the 2018 Ford Escape 1.5L since it's a company car and I'm changing companies....

Looks like I am going to be daily driving the SHO until I come up with a plan....

I like the idea of using the SHO as a DD... for all the reasons of a SHO.. big, comfy, descent power, etc etc...

However that leaves me without a play car... I'll leave all the stuff on the SHO and maybe add some stuff as time goes on (turbos, IC, PPE catted pipes are on the short list) but the days of going to the track all the time are probably gone. I don't really want to track my DD...

Maybe get a new play car? Or maybe pickup something small and good on gas for a DD and leave the SHo as a play car....

Tough decisions to be made... first world problems...

I am thinking maybe a Chevy SS for a play car....

I just took my sho out of storage to become my DD again while the play car gets ready for hibernation. The sho's been parked since April and it sure feels good to drive again. Probably my favorite car of everything I've owned.

The SHO has been my DD for well over five years now and even with my current setup on my signature and The very reason I purchased the SHO was having the capability of a AWD Sports sedan and speed rolled into one which makes it one heck of a DD for everyday conditions IMO! Enjoy the ride . Z
