CONSTANTLY BEEN HAVING ENGINE PROBLEMS. ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON AND OFF. I WAS DRIVING IT DOWN A HIGHWAY, COMING TO A STOP DUE TO A RED LIGHT WHEN THE WHOLE FRONT OF MY CAR BEGIN TO SPUTTER AND GAVE OUT. IT READ "STABILTRAK" BUT WHEN TAKEN TO THE SHOP IT ONLY READ A CODE FOR THE CARBON FILTER. WHICH, WAS CHANGED AND DID FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR THE TIME BEING. HOWEVER, ITS DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN.. WHICH IS VERY DISSAPOINTING BECAUSE ITS A VERY WELL KEPT UP WITH CAR, NEVER GOES WITHOUT ITS NECESSITIES.. AND AT THIS POINT I'M THINKING IT COULD BE MY BRAKING SYSTEM DUE TO THIS PROBLEM WEAKENING MY BRAKES BUT I DON'T SEE WHY BECAUSE THOSE WERE CHANGED ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. MAYBE, EVEN AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM WITH MY TRACTION CONTROL.

WHEN IN A COASTING MODE(NO ACCELERATOR USE) CAR WILL APPLY BRAKING ALL ON ITS OWN AND WILL NOT RELEASE BRAKING TILL CAR COMES TO A FULL STOP. NO OBJECTS OR CARS ARE ANYWHERE IN FRONT OF THE CAR WHEN THIS HAPPENS. HAS HAPPENED TWICE WHILE GOING AROUND MEDIUM RADIUS CURVES IN THE ROAD. VERY DANGEROUS TO US AND THE OTHER CARS BEHIND US BECAUSE WE GET NO INDICATION THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN. THIS HAS HAPPENED A COUPLE OF TIMES. THE LAST TIME IS INDICATED BELOW.
