My car turns off when I make turns. Or in the mornings when I turn on the car to warm it up and I depress the gas it turns off aswell. Once it turned On me while I was on the freeway.

The first thing I would suggest checking is fuel pump pressure.

i've been looking at this problem online on google and such and i comonly come up with the problem being power steering related. What do you think about that?

I feel it is fuel related. The power steering pump won't shut the engine off at highway speeds. Actually, it won't do it while turning.
