Aircraft
During takeoff roll at 40 knots ECAM displayed amber ENG1 Shutdown. Performed RTO; ECAM cleared once throttles at idle. Cleared rwy at taxiway; performed all necessary checklists; QRH. Called [Maintenance] and advised. [Maintenance] could not identify issue so we attempted a second takeoff since all engine parameters were normal and no warnings existed. Second takeoff attempt resulted in a RTO due to same issue at same speed. TOGA was selected for both cases. Rolled to end of [runway] and taxied back to MX service area. Once comm was established with MX; APU was started. During shutdown of ENG1; fuel lever was placed to off position but engine continued to run at idle power. Informed MX of issue and was advised to cycle fuel lever. It took 3 attempts at cycling fuel lever for ENG1 to shutdown. Contacted [Dispatcher] and [Chief Pilot] and completed 2 AML write ups.
Starting takeoff roll the Captain hit TOGA for takeoff power. Once the engine's spooled up we got an Amber ECAM that stated 'ENGINE #1 SHUT DOWN' with all engine instruments showing normal operation. We had only accelerated to 40kts before we rejected the takeoff. We advised tower and exited [the runway]. We accomplished all of our checklist items and then called maintenance. After explaining the situation and what we had accomplished we were advised that we had the option to try to takeoff again. All engine parameters were normal during the entire event so we elected to attempt another takeoff. We attempted another takeoff and got the same indication causing us to reject the takeoff again at less than 40 kts. This time we proceeded back to our gate for Maintenance to take a look.
A300 flight crew reported rejecting two consecutive takeoff attempts when they experienced 'ENGINE #1 SHUT DOWN' warnings on both attempts.
