I tried to activate my AP2 cruise while making a left turn but unsuccessful for quite a few times as it complained something like "TACC not available".
However, I finally could set it at 40 MPH while doing a left turn at the speed of 20 MPH and I did not lose control of the car at all.
(The grey circle on top left of instrument cluster was 18 then automatically changed to 40 then it's lit up in teal color as I pulled the cruise control stalk toward me once.)
I am not sure what is your point.
Obviously this can happen when the minimum CC set speed limit is exceeded:
1) You are approaching a right-hand turn
2) Lift the throttle, the car starts slowing down for the turn
3) Flick the CC stalk upwards thinking to indicate a right-hand turn, but instead of enabling CC at speed
4) Turn the corner while assuming the car slows down
5) Enter the corner - and come out of it - at a steady speed, instead of a slowing down speed
Whether you can maintain control depends obviously completely on the corner, the weather (rain, snow, ice) and what comes right after it. The problem is the same, though: you are assuming a continuously slowing down car (single-pedal driving, remember), instead of one that keeps a steady speed.
This can happen also on left-hand turns, but mistakenly hitting the CC stalk instead of the blinker seems less likely due to the direction your hands are moving.
