Just think about what happened. You have a road and a tire making contact. There's only so much that can go wrong. WOT
I am not mechanic, but this does not seem to be anyone's issue, but your foot. This complaint seems impossible.
HOpefully, someone else will chime in.
My car does it too. Only when I turn off TC and punch it

Within the first week, I experienced a little slip when making turns at low speeds, never thought much of it. I don't really notice it during highways. Checked the tire pressure and it was fine. However, the 3rd week, when making a right turn after a complete stop, the car happened to glide through 3 lanes (as if it were slidding accross a frozen street). I live in TX...
I don't think we've heard the whole story, which the OP may not really remember with perfect accuracy due to the stress of the moment.

Your car is a mustang. That's all that needs to be said. It's not a corvette with the independent rear. It is a car with more torque and hp that most people under estimate until its too late. We all make mistakes and ill be brave enough to say that I bet at least 80% of this forums drivers have been in wrecks and finally respect their cars. You can't hop in and floor it and expect it to stay in a straight line: maybe in a Camry but not in a mustang and this is the reason why people love the mustang; it's an adrenaline rush when you drive it

If it wasn't for this item in boldface . . .
the fewest assumptions would indeed suggest the use of too much throttle. However, that does not explain the front of the car sliding as well, which would be necessary in order to "glide through 3 lanes".

I've left car wash places that put tire dressing on and found myself slipping and slidding out of their driveway (front and rear). I've also pulled out of parking spots where there was oil that I didn't notice as I parked. When I go to leave the car will want to plow forward instead of turning.
I've run my tires at 37 before and while it may contribute to the problem (loss of traction) it is by no means the sole culprit.
