I was getting off an exit ramp and braking and my car died tonight out of the blue. What would cause that? I was going like 50-60mph when it happened. anyone have a clue what this could be????

Do you have a blower on the car? This happened to my car when I would hit a big bump while braking something to do with a vacum leak.

Maybe you are having a problem with vaccum. I would suggest getting a bigger brake booster vaccum reservoir, kinda like an old refrigerant tank from pre-r-34a days. Thats what I used on mine when my brakes would go to the floor. Could be a different problem if it is "Brake Lock", and not brake loss. Hopefully this might help you, because nothing good can come from no brakes.
