During preflight I was concerned with a log entry that indicated the right engine had failed/shutdown two days prior. I called Maintenance Control to inquire about the incident and what had been found as the cause and repaired. Controller said it was a problem with the fire control panel that had caused the failure; it was repaired; tested and good to go.We took the aircraft and made an uneventful flight until rollout when the right engine failed in exactly the same manner that had been detailed in the [previous] log entry.Troubles me greatly that a two engine aircraft with an unresolved issue causing the right engine to shut itself down was released back to service. Problem was obviously not diagnosed correctly and if it could cause the Number 2 engine to shut down on its own; what's to say the unresolved and improperly diagnosed malady could not occur in the Number 1 or both engines while in flight. Engines fail; that is part of aviation; but unexplained engine failures and then having Maintenance clear the aircraft for flight and having the same mysterious shut down occur two days later in my opinion is unacceptable.
Reporter stated that during landing roll; and coming out of reverse; the Number 2 engine inadvertently shut down and the overhead 'fuel light' illuminated; (Not sure if it was the spar valve or engine valve closed light); as if the fuel control cutoff lever was turned off; or fire handle was pulled. The fire control panel was replaced on a prior date due to this same occurrence and was okayed for flight. Subsequent flights were without incident; then he received a verbal report that it happened again on the same aircraft and same engine.
After landing; a Boeing 737 Next Generation aircraft; during rollout the right engine failed in exactly the same manner that had been detailed in the log entry.
