1996 Oldsmobile Cutlass 6 cyl Automatic 148000 miles

When I was driving my car and used the brakes the car turned off. I pulled the car off the rode, put it back in park and tryed to restart it. The car started right back and I got the car back home with no more problems,but what could this be a sign of? I just put a new battery, fuel filter, air filer, and had I always have oil changed on time.

If it only happens when you use the brakes, it could be a brake booster problem causing a major loss of vacuum from the engine.
