Making a right turn at an intersection and car died in mid-turn. I pulled over and it restarted. I have had a similar incident, I reported it 5/19/08 # 10228160. I took the car in and it was repaired per recall notice. Dealership is not hopeful they will be able to repair the problem until it gets worse!.
