Taking your foot off accelerator going around a corner will stall the car when making a left turn. I have not had a problem with right turns. Sometimes going down the road the car will stall. Restarting no problems starts every time. Could it be a fuel filter or dirty throttle body? Anybody experience this problem.

I had this problem with an older car, it was one of the ignition wires arc-ing out.

It could be a problem with the fuel pickup in the tank, or it could be an electrical problem with any number of systems that only shows up intermittently.



Is it affected by the fuel level?



This is likely to need hands-on troubleshooting, use of diagnostic tools, fuel pressure gauge, etc.



For example, a diagnostic tester can do a 'snapshot', allowing the technician to review the data at the time the vehicle stalls.



It is a very unusual problem. It could be any number of things; you are likely to get any number of wild guesses. For example, your vehicle does not have ignition wires. This one isn't a good one for diagnosis over the internet.



Does the car not have warranty?

Was the car recently purchased? Were any accessories removed from the car recently?

For sure it could be a bad connection or loose spark plug wire contact but I;d also check the car's belts to see if their either loose or too tight. Plus it might be as simple as the car's engine doesn't haven't quite enough power to turn the wheels right via a bad or faulty or corroded or rusted electrical system , such as bad battery or alternator or starter posts or connections , bad ground on engine block , bad connects on ignition coil plugs or spark plug wires .By using assorted wire brushes, fine sand paper and a small flat head screwdriver you can clean these connections etc and make them very shiny with pretty much ease.

You might want to start the car and turn the wheel's left almost fully and watch the belts reactions , plus try shutting it off and checking the power steering belt's tension and the other belts , then try starting it and turning the wheels right and performing the same tests.



Hope that helps and best of luck

take the car into a shop and have it check out. a car that young shouldn't be doing that. it should be better after you take it in.
