Default same issue - sort of

I had the same lights flashinf on my 2001 maxima. I yanked out the alternator and brought it to Advanced Auto Parts to have ot tested in the store which is more accurate than tested while still in the car. Well it passed. They even tested it several times and it passed each time. So on a whim I purchased a new serpentine belt while there and proceeded to put the original alternator back with a new belt. The car started right up and no lights. I drove the car around all weekend, about 40 miles when I had a small problem. Without any warning the car died while making a right hand turn into a parking lot. I quickly put it neutral and it started right back up. I didn't even slow down. The next day and 15 miles later the same exact thing happened when making a right hand turn again. Again it started right back up.

O posted this on a Maxima forum, and someone suggested that maybe I put the belt on too tight. Any one here have any ideas?
