This is due to a bad PCM which needs to be replaced. This is a common problem in these cars. I believe its due the PCM being located in the steering wheel column and just over the years wearing out and breaking due to it vulnerability. Unfortunately a new PCM for a Regal will run you $400 plus. But it's a safety matter and should get fixed. What's happening is a faulty control switch in the PCM that believes you are shutting the ignition off when you are making a turn.
