I was heading to a party last night and as I was going down a hill (drifting down) the ABS light kicked on and the car shut off... this happened three times in a row resulting in the car going completely dead. Then without turning the key the lights came back on, and it started up fine and has run fine ever since. This also happened cruising in 3rd gear the other day except it was only for a split second.

Now, I do know when I had my breaks replaced that the steering knuckle on the right side was broken off and replaced... I looked at it and it doesn't even look like the right part. Also, when I hit the brakes to come to a complete stop... it feels like ABS kicks in.
 
Battery is secure as it can get, and the positive terminal does have a cover on it. Not the issue as far as I can tell.
