Problem while driving(critical)

Hey guys so ill try my best to describe this. So this didnt happen just once, it happened a lot of times already but i did not think it was a big deal but im posting it because now its getting on my nerves. So when i drive and come to a stop or so sometimes my radio turns off by itself and my wheel becomes really hard for a second and i get this jerk(its an auto so it feels like a stall but not as bad.) I was wondering what this was. Also today on the road i came to a red light and it was cold so i just turned on my seat warmers and the car suddenly feels like a stall n the engine turns off? i had to put my gear back to park and turn the car off and turn it back on... My friends were shocked as well. Someone said battery but i am not sure. Anyone can clearify this?

I would but wouldnt the dealers say something since i am running no cat and all that?

I don't think it's plugs coils or the TB, and that's because when I stall my engine with a good charging system, my electrics will not go out (sometimes the radio is so loud I don't even realize I've stalled....) The electrics going out make the battery or battery cables the primary suspect to me.

Does the car start OK? Nice strong crank?

Yes it starts perfectly fine its just that once in a while something goes wrong haha. It never stalled before i was like how can it stall its an auto haha. But yes i will be checking on all these things soon.
