Why does this occur? It is the second time it ocurrs and coincidently, in the same hill. I guess it is because the car probably notcies it just wont make it up and turns off for safetly reasons.... any ideas???

I doubt the engine switches off because it won't make it as the car has no idea how far to go. More likely a sensor issue, possibly engine oil level, as this has repeated on the same hill and could force the engine to shut down if it senses that level is dangerously low.
