“Started ignition, idle for about 3 mins warming up the engine. Preped to leave to current designation. Reverse, pulling out to the right I turn my steering wheel all the way to the right, car shuts off, all lights appear on the dash. Turn off and restarted. And continue to drive in reverse repeating the steering to the right... Car stalls again.... I finally make it home because I was not sure if the car was safe to drive. I parked, turned all the way to the right made a weird idle noise maybe 4x louder then standard but deeper. And boom stalls. …”
