Why is my 2012 Commodore V6 stalling when turning left around corners?

My 2012 VE Commodore Series 2 3.6-litre V6 is stalling when turning left around corners. The mechanics can't find a fault in the vehicle, but it is dangerous when the engine stops while your turning a corner, as you lose power steering and brakes. Any ideas about what could be causing this?

In the old days I might have said it was due to fuel surge, but that doesn’t happen with fuel injection. It could perhaps be a connection in the wiring that is separating when the car swings to the left. It needs investigation.
