This past winter my car started having strange symptoms, Whenever it would get cold, like 30 degrees, and I would have my heater or defrost on and hit the brakes too quickly, my car would just turn off. I was able to turn the car back on most times, but other times I wasn't able to. This has happened more than a few times, and I have no idea what the problem could be.
