Default Car Just STOPS!! Engine or Electrical?

I took my Camaro out for the first time today. I was cruising around for a couple of hours and about half way through I was at a red light taking a left. Immediatly after the left I took a really quick right. At MOST I was going 15 by this time, and in the middle of the right turn the car DIED! Just shut off...steering went, gauges, engine...everything.

I got over to the side of the road, put it in park and restarted it just fine. No problem!

This is not the first time though...which is why I just started again and went about my drive. Last time I was going about 5-15 as well, turned into my driveway and it crapped out in the same way. It was while turning as well. That time is scared me a bit, but hadn't happened since.


Any ideas what could cause this? Because losing steering while turning and ending up in the other lane is not a good thing...luckily there was no one behind me or coming at me and I was able to creep over to the side of the road.


Thanks

Tim
