My car started having the traction control come on about 2-3 years ago. I was told I needed a new transmission. The transmission was cracked-chevrolet said not their fault, so, I replaced the transmission. Then, it started doing it again. I replaced the brake pads. It stopped. Then, started up again. Took to the chevrolet garage who put it on their total diagnostic machine. Told I need both bearings on the front. At a $972.00 price tag for this, I bought the bearings and had another garage put them on at a great reduction in cost to me on labor. Now, it is doing it again. At first it was only every once in awhile. The wheel sensors appear to be fine. Now I notice it is doing it a lot more and starting to do it when I accelerate from a stop at certain times. I bought this car brand new, and, for its age, it does not even have 60,000 miles on it. (the date that that I am using in the next step here it began is the date when it really started doing its 'tricks' a lot more).

I was traveling on the interstate at about 60 MPH going uphill. I did not have it in cruise control. Iwas passing a semi. Suddenly the steering became very difficult, and the brakes seemed hard to push. I finally managed to get the car off the road and stopped. I put in park and got out to check and see if one of the tires had blown out, I left it running. The tires were fine. I got back in and put it in gear and eased down on the gas to see how it was going to go. It did fine, I drove it the rest of the day and it seemed to be normal. I am concerned this could be connected to the ignition recall back in 2014 and worry that it might happen again. My husband is attempting to get it looked at by mechanic.

My ABS and traction control lights came on I was told it was my bearings. I replaced those and problems began again I was told it was my brakes and rotors and replaced those. Problem began again I was told it was my sensors, again I replaced those. Problem began again I was told it has to be the senor, another repair. All the while constantly needing tires (pressure lights also kept coming on) well ABS and traction control problem began again. I backed up and car wouldn't go forward. It'll go forward in 1 n 2 I believe. Help!..
