I would suspect a leaking brake booster. When you apply the brakes, the extra vacuum needed, causes the engine to stall. Check the brake booster vacuum line and the booster itself. You also might want to replace all vacuum lines if the car is over 10 years old.

Just changed your front and rear brakes and shoes. The brake light turns on until you put in more brake fluid. The brakes feel if they were almost touching the floor at times. What could cause this?
If you are losing fluid and the pedal is low, you have a brake fluid leak.
What would cause the brake light to come on intermittenly after all brakes were changed?
Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir there is a sensor there that will make the light come on if your level is low.
Your truck makes a hissing sound when your brakes are engaged and your brake peddle travels all the way to the floor before stopping the truck also stalls when brakes are engages?
This one is easy. Brake booster diaphragm is ruptured, causing a massive vacuum leak, which will cause the engine to run poorly when the brakes are applied. A loss vacuum assist will make it difficult to stop the vehicle.
Sticking brake caliper?
If the front brake caliper is sticking, the disc may be uneven. Brakes that are left to scrape on the disc for a long time before they are changed will damage the disc enough to cause sticking or slipping.

Sticking caliber. Flush the brake system and install fresh brake fluid, then bleed the brakes. If that does not help, replace both calibers and brake pads on the axle where the brakes are grabbing.

What can make the brakes grab in reverse?
warped brake discs can cause your brakes to grab in reverse. Hope this helps.
What could be wrong with the ford E450 motor home the brakes are smoking but the emergercy brakes shows its off?
If the rear brakes are smoking, the parking brake cables may be frozen. The dash light may indicate that the parking brakes are released but the switch for the light is connected only to the parking brake lever NOT the actual parking brake shoe assembly. Another possible cause for rear brake lock-up is a malfunctioning rear brake proportioning valve. This valve controls hydraulic pressure to the rear brakes. Brake fluid absorbs moisture and should be changed on a regular basis. Vehicle inactivity and moisture in the brake fluid is a recipe for frozen or rusty brake components. Hope this helps you out!
Why does steering wheel vibrate when brakes are applied?
This is probably due to worn brake rotors on the brakes, if there is no vibration when driving then this will be the cause.
