Common to all this is the ignition switch. A broken switch or a worn out key can cause the car to lose electrical connection, especially on bumps and turns. If the ignition switch isn't properly engaging, it can cause the transmission to be locked in park as it won't initiate the brake-shift control solenoid.

2 separate issues. Shutting down and starting back up sounds like a fuel related issue. Not going in reverse it's transmission related. Either way it will take a diagnostic done to see if u have any codes to narrow down the problem.
