Exclamation Truck just dies on me

So I have a 2012 Ram 1500 5.7 Hemi with 103,000 miles, starts fine, runs great, but if you hard stop the engine will kill
All electronics stay on but no engine or power steering.
Dealership change ignition switch, any help would be appreciated.

No, drive by wire uses the throttle for low idle. Common causes for stalling when hard stop are the torque converter not disengaging or a vacuum leak.
