So much electronics in these things, this issue doesn't surprise me. As for the other person above concerned about buying the car - all cars have issues, and my guess is most people won't be putting their cars in this situation that often (unless you drive close to the limit on turns). It bothers me when I feel it, but I now can predict it. I just look forward to the fix - ecu update is my guess.
still doesn't answer why it only happens on turns. are there any g force sensors or sensors for steering angle or yaw?
