Stalling while taking hard corner
 
The other night I was driving home and I took this great corner like I always do. This time it kinda freaked me out, because I almost stalled out. The car was lethargic for about a 1/4 mile after that. Gearing was fine. Have not had the problem since. Same tank of gas so I do not think it is bad.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Probably fuel starvation , may happen if your under 1/3rd of a tank, I think some of the autox boys have had this happen.

I thought there was a fix for it , but not sure if its done yet.

I did not know this. The same thing happened to me on one of my favorite corner, but the car stalled after exiting the corner. Scary stuff, because there is a light after the corner. The Power steering became stiff and the the brakes became non existing. I applied the brakes so hard the the car skid. No ABS when stalled btw. Can't remember how much fuel I had, but took it easy after that.
