This is a electrical problem that is set, what make this suspicious and it may not be related. You have a electrical hybrid water pump. these have a Recall. , what happens and these are seen , it can short out without taking out its fuse. and the car stalls , because the fuse has not opened, you can wait awhile and the engine starts up, only for it to stall out 10 to 15 minutes later, This may not be related, (beside the  IGN 1 relay Recall) , these electrical hybrid water pump tends to do all type of scenario. from stalling engine , to turning the warning light on to just shorting out, and smoking like a there a fire. in the engine compartment.
