Car wont accelerate turning left??

Yup, for some reason everytime i turn left and go the car seems to just rev up, then it kicks in and goes... doesnt do this when i turn right, Only left.... strange or what???

Note: this is only when i'm up to speed, like if i'm at a red light turning left, and i go... it'll go to prolly like 15 or 20 mph then start the rev sequence lol

sounds like your spinning your right front tire, would explain why the car would rev up without accelerating.

If you don't have LSD, that might be your problem.

Try getting someone to sit in the passenger seat thats heavier than you and I bet you the problem will go away. If it does, your spinning the right front.

the 2.4 doesn't have enough power to break tread loose on a tire that's supporting almost 60% or more of the cars weight due to the turn at speeds higher than 15mph. It almost sounds like the transmission is slipping, but i don't know why it'll only do it on a left turn

I'm assuming you're automatic?

If so, you've got tranny slip. It's not axle or joint related, otherwise you'd hear death-rattle noises from that area.

If the transmission was slipping, it'd be doing it in a straight line too unless something is binding real bad.
