Default intermittent stall engine stop

I'm new so forgive me as I learn forum lingo.
My 2004 accord 3.0 EX one day as I was driving 60mph I applied the brake and noticed the engine shut off and the engine light came on briefly and the transmission disengaged briefly then all came back on and worked fine. it has now gotten worse, if I turn on anything electrical turn signal, wipers, brake lights and stuff, it does it and quite frequently now. At one time it died all together before I was even moving as you have to put the brake on to get it out of park. however I started it back up and it ran like a honda and had no problem for several miles then on the fritz again. I'm stumped anyone got any ideas?

Go to Autozone, etc. and try to see if there are any stored trouble codes. Even if the Check Engine Light is not on, pending code(s) may be stored.

OK update time. I got the codes read and found nothing. condition worsened as it got to where I couldn't go to walmart without it shutting down several times while trying to park. I went through the electrical system checking plugs and relays and found the positive battery cable loose and just setting on the post. funny thing is it always started just fine and I recon thats what threw me off the terminal trail.. after I secured a tight connection it has not stalled at all.
