here's the rebound...the guy said that the car engine would shut off after he would depress the brake pedal. happened after the car was warm and driven alot. could not turn car back on until he let the car sit for a while.

turned out to be the ignition switch which had a short and would heat up.
had ignition replaced. approx $90 parts $150 labor.
no problems now. was not the trans selector switch.
