Suspension problem #1

Power steering, brakes, turn signals, monitor screen. The cars steering will lock up and pull to the right hand side and the brakes get mushy. This could be deadly to myself and other motor vehicles. It happens suddenly with out warning and if there is a vehicle in the right hand lane, you will crash into it. I am waiting to take it to the dealer but prior to the steering and electrical, I told them on 10/12/21 oil service about the brakes feeling mushy and they said that’s the way they’re supposed to be. Only other passengers have witnessed the electrical and steering problem happen. At the exact same time the steering goes out the stability trek light flashes on the panel, the media screen goes out and my turn signal (if on) has no audio. I bought the car 3/26/21 @ 44,690 miles. On 10/12/21 I mentioned the brakes and about 2 months after that this electrical/steering problem started happening. It started out as little quirks but has progressively gotten worse. There is not 1 specific thing that seems to trigger the effect, it is variable.

Suspension problem #2

Airbag issue- airbag sensors have been constantly going off and on as vehicle is in motion. Regardless of turns, speeds, motion, weather, temperature of vehicle, it comes on and off. Issue started at 45,400 miles. Struts issue- struts have become unsafe at 45,600 miles, the vehicle has a tremendous drop on the rear, right passenger end, when reversing from a drive way with an incline.

Suspension problem #3

When I get on the highway the left front wheel shakes like it is getting ready to fall off. After I've been on the road for a while it stops. I've had front end alignment, balancing and tire rotation. It still does it every morning.
