Jerk/Slip only when turning steering wheel
Hello, I have a 2011 Lexus is250. When I turn then press on gas my car jerk/slips. Only when turning steering wheel. Anyone know why? Thanks

All wheel drive or rear-wheel drive?

Take her to a lexus-friendly shop. It sounds like you have front suspension issues... upper/lower control arms... end link issues... or poorly fitting aftermarket rims and tires.

Money says it's tire scrub from steering sharply and moving... The correct terminology is Toe-In on turns. The inside wheel has a smaller radius and must turn sharper than the outside wheel. The trade off is yes, it has a good turning radius for a sedan at the expense of tire wear / tire scrub. The feeling the driver has is a slight hop when near full wheel lock (left or right) as the grip is lost and reestablished.

Agree with the above. I live on a cul de sac, and when I back out and turn full to the left, the front tire will lose grip (especially if there is some dirt) and slip then grab. I think it's normal
