We turned the traction control off, but it turned itself back on and the issue…

The steering wheel has a popping noise every time i turn it. The 2nd thing is, i have lost power steering 8-10 times while turning into a parking spot. One time it stalled the engine and lost all power for 30-40 minutes and i had to unhook the battery cables to reset so it would crank. Makes me feel real safe while going around a curve at 60 mph wondering if i'm going to lose power again.

When taking a long, rather sharp turn on the highway, the vehicle was resisting against the turn making it difficult to maneuver the vehicle. At the same time, the brakes began to initiate when the pedal was stepped, but immediately became very hard and could barely slow or stop the vehicle. Almost hit the vehicle in front due to the delay and difficulty in braking.
