2007 Mazda 6i Shut Down Problem

[cybersonic]

Hi guys, I have a 2007 Mazda6 i with close to 50K miles. I had problem starting the car. I seems like it needs battery power to start. After several try with the key it turns on. I took it to Kragen and had it tested out. Starter and Alternator is good, but battery is low so i bought a new battery. I installed the new battery and now the car turns on nicely.

Problem: after several days, I would be driving the car the the wheel will lock up and everything would turn off completely. I took it back the Kragen for another test and everything turns out good. The car would turn off several times while driving it, all i have to do is turn it back on. Is it electrical, engine, or something?

Thanks alot guys.

If the wheel truly locks -and it's not just your P/S losing power- I'd have to wonder about something mechanically wrong with the ignition. But how and why in so new of a car seems odd.... Doesn't happen to be a theft recovery that had the ignition punched out, does it?
