Car messing up (HELP)

I recently bought a 2009 g37s coupe with 97,000 miles. I’ve drove it for snout a week or so with no problems, yesterday I was taking a left turn and the car powered almost co platelet down, had very little power and all lights in car went off. I let it sit for about 5 minutes and turned it back on. Check engine light was on. I took it home and let it sit over night. I woke up this morning and drove it to school, about 10 minutes into my drive I took a left turn and it did the same thing again but only for about 4 seconds and all lights and power came back. Vdc, slip, brake, abs, and check engine light came back on. If anyone knows what is going on any help or tips would be muchely appreciated. Thank you.

Also, be sure the battery isn't moving around and grounding out.

car may have some simpleton error such as loose connection or perhaps worse case scenario sounds like you got a vehicle that may have been salvaged. either a main ground strap is losing contact or perhaps the battery cables are loose. i would look around the engine compartment and check the engine harness and ground connections along with the battery and alternator connections. btw low brake fluid is not going to set off your ck engine light so don't even bother.
