When my vehicle shifter is in neutral (I have an automatic trans) and the brake is pressed clusters on the dash illuminate (oil light, check engine light, battery light. ) the engine stalls and I loose power steering and power brakes making the vehicle extremely difficult to stop and steer especially if I am on the freeway doing 65!. It seems to do it most often when I am on the freeway going down a hill in neutral and the brake is pressed.
