Vehicles ABS and Traction lights came on several times and went off. There is a grinding sound when I try to break. I have to pay $65 to have the issue diagnosed. This vehicle has given me problems since I got it. I need to have this fixed

Vehicle never shifts right. Doors sometimes won't unlock leaving me stuck inside. Stranded on side of road after battery saver light came on and ABS light causing my car rpms to fly up to 4 repeatedly and I could barely get off the main road safely befoelre the car stopped running. When I go to turn it back on says my car is not in park which it is. I really hope I'm not dealing with what other people have dealt with with this vehicle. My car is about to hit 70k miles. I get every service done to it. Also got the brakes done new and they still squeak.
