The next time you start to stop, place trans into neutral and come to a complete stop. If the engine doesn't stall and trans shifts to 1st gear when selecting Drive, then it might be either a misadjusted/broken brake switch at the pedal, I think. Or a bad solenoid inside the trans, or a loose connection just outside the trans, or a blown fuse.

It reads like the trans is not unlocking from overdrive or from torque convertor lock-up, thus providing more load onto the engine, and it stalls.
