My engine shut off while I was stopped at a railroad crossing, on an incline. I had my foot on the brake when it happened. Once the train passed, I let my foot off the brake, and the engine shut off without a warning or indication. The car proceeded to roll backwards into traffic. I turned on my emergency lights on, put the car in park, and tried to restart the vehicle. It took a minute or so before I was able to restart the car. The same problem happened 3 days later - I was just about to make my turn out of a parking lot into a major street. I made a stop to make sure the road was clear. I took my foot off the brake and hit the accelerator and the engine shut off. I had to put my car in park to restart the engine again.
