Vehicle loses power during turning operations. When making a left or a right turn on dry pavement, the traction control light illuminates and the vehicle loses power. When I initially took the vehicle into the dealer the issue was only occurring during left turns. Dealer did a pcm software update and now the problem occurs during right and left turns. I have come disturbing close to being hit while losing power mid turn. I and others are having the same issue. This needs to be addressed before someone gets seriously injured or killed. Car was brand new when problem started.
