The shutting off part sounds like a loose ground, but starting back up when you press the brake is strange. Will the car start just by hitting the brake when it is standing still? It must be a loose ground and when you hit brakes it force ofslowing the car causes the ground to reconnect. I would tighten all grounds and make sure the battery terminals are tight.

I wouldn't leave the fob in the car. You never know, maybe it's defective.
