Q: My interior A/C, heater fan doesn't work
Two or three time a week, the engine dies when I apply the brakes very hard while I'm on a surface street. When I restart it, the engine does fine at first. Also, the air filter was replaced recently and I had the oil changed the same day. There had been a hole in the master cylinder, so the mechanic replaced that too. What do you think the problem is?
