Taurus Dies Mysteriously

Hello,

I'm new to the forum, but my car is being strange so I thought I'd ask here.

Problem: After braking hard to a full stop or when waiting at a light, my '03 Taurus will just die. It just turns off, and the dashboard looks exactly like it would if I turned the key just far enough to turn on the battery, but not far enough to turn it over. To rectify this, I put it in park, turn the key to the off position, and then restart the engine. Comes right back to life as if nothing happened, and doesn't cause me anymore problems until days or weeks or months later. This has happened to me about three or four times total over the past year or two.

I'd very much appreciate any help you guys can give me. I'm not too car savvy at all, but I enjoy learning about how things work (I'm an engineering student what can I say).

THANKS!
