We recently had an oxygen sensor replaced now the car will sometimes stall when letting of the gas and rounding a corner. We were told that the computer had to reset it self but we have driven around two hunderd miles and it still stalls. Hope you can help me.

Is the idle of engine to low?Maybe its just that you need the idle to be a little higher.I doubt your oxigen sensor would do that. If you wanna reset computer yourself do this.>>Disconnect one cable from battery for about 15-20 minutes then connect back again. Reset done. Good luck
