1 mile from home and this happens
 
so i was driving home earlier and im 4 blocks from my house, then i get two idiot lights.

Service Traction Control
Service Brake Assist

So I called the dealer, and they said its most likely a wheel bearing or sensor, since they poped up at the same time. I feel shaking at around 40 mph, thought the wheels were off balance. The brakes still work.

if anyone has any insight id appreciate it.

ok im gettiing it checked tommorrow for codes. ive been doing some reading and this seems to be a common problem. from what i read it could be the brake fluid level is low. i thought it was low the other day but did not know how to check.

is this too low???

now is the time to tell them to check for your recalls or service bulletins, let us know what they find! thanks

30,000 miles my breaking point

lol the funny thing is that i tried to describe these problems to the dealer while i had warrenty and they said were fine. dont get me wrong i got a lot of minor issues fixed but 2 months after its over i get all these problems.

steering knucle pops - deal said they replaced but problem persists 4 months later - i think they just greased

vibration at around 40-60 - w/o pushing the acelerator

traction light-------bad sensor/wheelbearing hub/wiring
abs light-----------

horrible ping coming from cat, i think its clogged and 2 months old

leaky transcooler line - should be recall / under powertrain warrenty

i think a leak in the power steering system - was low to the add mark - 06's got a recall

slow coolant leak - suspect water pump/ line

dash/defrost plastic on dash distorting

rust around front strut mounts

radio = static b4/system install

im sure ill find something new tommorow

next step sue the guy i bought it from
