    Hey,

    I have an 08 Base model w/ about 88k miles on it. For the last few months I've noticed that when I turn (started w/ just right hand, now happens when i turn left) that my car dash basically loses power and restarts. I get the ignition chime and my radio restarts. It now starts happening when i brake suddenly. I dont lose any engine power, but this is just getting annoying because it is now starting to happen more frequently. Any suggestions on what this could be? I have an after mkt radio and an automatic starter on the car if that helps any. Sry if this is a repost, I searched and couldnt find anything.

    Loose connection I'd wager. If someone has installed an aftermarket starter, they've played around in the steering column and ignition switch wires. Probably one of those connectors wiggling loose during turns or braking when the vehicle's movement causes them to flex. That's my immediate reaction anyway.
