| My car will stop running when i brake. this started in oct 2001 and has done this 6 times, today it finally did it with my husband in the car. i have the radio/cd on and am usually driving at 45-50 mph when i have to apply my brakes and my car quits. i have no control over the entire car i try to get it off of the road then i put it in park and restart it and it runs fine. now that my husband has experienced this problem i am calling the local dealership to take it in and have them do something.*ak | |||
