When i go around curves (left hand) my traction control light will flash and i will not have control over my brakes (it will feel as if i am hydroplaning) this occurs randomly and for not set reason/ i am not speeding or hitting my brakes when this occurs. I have been told from my dealership that i needed tires, i got tires, and it is still happening.

Since i have had the car from 2017 to now, there has always been an issue with the engine. The car will shake and then slow for a few seconds and the engine light will pop on. The breaks are sometimes very hard. I sometimes have to push harder on them, but then they make a weird noise. It is quite scary.

While driving on the freeway and exiting an offramp. Hitting the car's brakes made the brake pedal turn really loose and almost to the floor. Instant braking ability was lost and the car went into a slow brake while wobbling left to right. Split second timing of turning the wheel avoided crashing into the car directly in front. After that the brakes resume normal function. ...updated 10/18/17 *bf updated 9/10/18*jb
