Default weird fuel pick-up problem!!!

Well, Just recently I've been having this problem. It used to be that if I have more than 2 or 3 gallons of gas in my tank, then I wouldn't have any fuel pick-up problems. If I ran the car lower than 2 or 3 gallons and pushed it hard in the turns, mostly right-hand turns, the car is bog real bad coming out of turns. The car was picking up air. No big deal. But lately its gotten worst. The car will bog when its at 3/8th of the tank left. Yesterday I was hitting some fun mountain roads and the car bogged a few times in the turns. I pulled in the gas station and filled up. Topped off the tank would only hold another 6.2 gallons, which means that there was roughly 5.7 gallons left in the tank(tank is 11.9 gallons). The car shouldn't bog with that much gas left in it. Is there some baffling that could of come loose in the tank? Any suggestion?

That's what i was thinking. You should really look at that. And for the hell of it change your fuel filter in your engine bay.
