Description of the problem	Was leaving the cul-de-sac where we live and the first intersection is a "t". As the car started to make a left hand turn the car shut down with no warning. With the steering hydraulic system shut down and brake system shut down, we are blessed the car was able to stop before hitting a parked trailer. Put the car on park, restarted the car with no problem, then the engine light came on, put it on drive to drive it back home and stalled again, completely off. After two attempts, made it home and into garage. A couple of hours later i turned the car on and engine light was on. Did not move it. Next morning, to drive it to dealer hoping no tow needed, i noticed no engine warning light so i decided to try driving it to dealer. It stalled and shut down again backing out of garage. Put it on park, turned it on but did not turn on a/c this time. Made it all the way ok to dealer and engine warning light never turned on. Around the dealer, i drove it with a/c on and could not replicate the event. Highly concerned that this could have happened at a higher speed on a gradual curve would have been potentially a deadly accident. I'm expecting a call from the dealer sometime today.
