So my car randomly turns off by itself when i turn and it only happens when i turn(I drive 2.4 cobalt btw in case if your wondering). And thankfully this only happened three different times on different days in safe areas with no one behind me. Once leaving school near the end of January.The second time dropping my friend off mid February ,and the last time was when i went to the gas station yesterday. all the electronics turn off and the engine shuts off. Any ideas on what could be wrong please help before it happens again. Thanks

Have you checked the battery cables for tightness ?
I have heard of some electrical issues on a few cars
and the battery cables were loose !

I think I'd go check that, my positive cable was a bit loose from the factory !

ya that's happened to me before. I had not tightened down the neg battery cable enough after removing it and it would come off when hitting a bump.
