Description of the problem	I was coming to a stop, applying the brakes and shifted the car into neutral, the car just shut off. The brakes became rock hard i had to use both feet to slow the car steering locked and i rear ended the car i front of me at 2-3 mph. The car was damaged the car was checked by the dealership i was told that there was nothing wrong with the car. The condition occurred again at nearly a complete stop and a third time with my wife in the car. Fortunately there was no contact with another cars.
