Default car shuts off.

i was doing 70 on the freeway, popped it in nuetral... about to brake... and noticed the traffic kept moving.. so i went to 4th, i stomped on the gas.. but my car was turned off... very odd, so while my car was rolling i turned it on popped it back in gear and continued. I didn't notice my car turn off because my music was playing at a pretty leveled volume. Later that day, I was warming up my car from a cold start, after 5 mins i hop in my car and give like 2k revs, very lightly... my rpm guage goes all the day down and my car shuts off again. This happens a few times.
