My RX350 2013 has an intermittent, unpredictable dead spot when accelerating during right or left turn under dry road conditions.
This usually occurs from a stopped position.
I have had multiple panic situations when accelerating to cross a road with high speed traffic. i.e timing my crossing of the highway to avoid cross traffic both ways and getting initial acceleration to middle of road then stall-out for 2 seconds while watching traffic bearing down
This seems to occur only while turning under strong acceleration.
I don't recall any wheel slippage when this has occurred (dry road conditions)
Needless to say this has the potential to create a serious side collision.
Dealer says this behavior is a result of the cars traction control system which can be turned off.
Is this to say that one must remember to turn traction control off before making a turn under strong acceleration?

There must be a better answer to this problem.
Any input?
Thanks,
