Default turning-losing power

If I turn at say 25mph+ it almost feels like I ran out of gas and my car cuts out then it catches again. Almost like the fuel pump isnt strong enough when I turn.. could that be the problem? Like enough gas isnt getting sucked up im not sure..

How hard are you taking these turns, and does the car have traction control?

Your serpentine belt is slipping or stalling on the power steering pulley. Inspect the belt for damage and check your power steering fluid. Your belt tensioner could also be bad

My power steering doesnt lose power though, my car does. Like it runs out of gas then catches again.
