(This is just from my personal experience and data I have collected, which can just be one of the many problems)
(Winter blend gas VS Summer Blend gas) If this condition occur during a warm or hot day it could be caused from the gasoline in your vehicle. During the cold winter days the gas station purchase a winter blend type of fuel for better start up in the morning due to the easier voltality of the gasoline. Simply this just means evaporation of the gasoline. As the weather changes and the gas station are still trying to sell the last of their winter blend fuel and if purchased it can cause a vehicle to start but then quickly shutting off during warm/hot start ups. After a few crank the vehicle should start and drive normally, try pumping gas at a top tier gas station such as 76, Shell or Cheveron. The reason why using winter blend fuel makes it so hard to start during warmer climate is because the added molecule to make the fuel vaporize for colder days in the winter just becomes too much in warmer temperature. Too much vaporize fuel and less dense liquid fuel will cause a hard start or start and shut off because the supply of fuel to the engine is not sufficient. To solve this just try fueling up where you think the gas station has switched over to the summer blend. Or simply asking the owner of the gas station can't hurt too bad. Good luck and hopefully this helps.
Also try checking to see if your air filter isn't clogged, or if your getting enough fuel to your fuel injectors.
