Well, I have put the car on several computers and I have fixed all of the problems that the computers have come up with, but I am still having the same problem with my car cutting off when I apply my foot to the brake.

Question -
I have a 1998 Chevy Lumina. The problem is, when I drive my car and step on the brakes, my car cuts off completely.

Hi- you will have to have it put on the computer to see what is causing it, but I would look under the dash and see if there is any wire that could be rubbing on the brake pedel and shorting out.

Did this happen after any of the places did work on the car? - the only thing I can think of is that something is rubbing on the brake pedel or there is something wrong
with the brake system that it is telling the computer that the brakes are bad and its shutting the car down.
