STS is suddenly dying when car slows down and makes a sharp turn at an intersection or driveway. Only happens when turning. Restarts immediately. No lights come on on the panel. Local mechanics can't figure it out.

I would begin this diagnosis by performing a power steering pump pressure test. If the pressure is too high, it could be because of a restriction in the power steering hydraulic system.
