WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP WHILE TURNING LEFT, ABS ENGAGES AND BRAKES LEFT FRONT WHEEL CREATING A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION STOPPING THE CAR IN INTERSECTIONS WITHOUT WARNING. SERVICE STABILITRAK, SERVICE ABS AND SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST MESSAGES ALSO APPEAR ON DASHBOARD MESSAGE CENTER. ALL WARNING LIGHTS RESET WHEN VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF, UNTIL A LEFT TURN IS MADE WHILE ACCELERATING AGAIN, AND THE ABOVE ISSUES OCCUR AGAIN.

I HAVE HAD THIS WORKED ON ABOUT 1 MONTH OF PURCHASE. I WAS TOLD THE CHEAP BALL BEARINGS IN THE WHEELS ARE FAULTY. MY CAR MAKES A STRANGE NOISE WHEN I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AND IT LUNGES FOR A SPLIT SECOND AND THEN ENGAGES FORWARD. ALSO WHEN I AM BRAKING DOWN A STEEP INCLINE, THE BRAKES GRAB AND JERK THE CAR SLIGHTLY. THIS HAS GONE ON SINCE I PURCHASED THIS CAR.

TRACTION CONTROL ACTIVATES WHILE MAKING LEFT TURN WHEN LEAVING A STOP OR A RED LIGHT OR AT ANY OTHER OCCASION THAT REQUIRES MAKING A LEFT TURN AFTER BEING STOPPED. CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO HESITATE AND IN THE PROCESS CREATING A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON FIVE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS DURING THE PAST FEW DAYS. HAS ONLY OCCURRED WHEN TURNING LEFT FROM A COMPLETE STOP. THERE SEEMS TO BE A METAL SOUND THE FOURTH TIME. HAVE TRIED TO GET IT LOOKED AT AND NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT TO DO. VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF DRIVING THIS CAR. ALSO DONE IT ONCE WHEN I WAS BACKING OUT FROM A PARKED POSITION.
