Traction Control System problem #1

My son was driving his 07 Scion Tc, exiting an interstate he lost traction in the gore area, overcorrected and impacted head first into guardrail then spun left impacting the same guardrail. Three had seatbelts on, one in rear did not and was ejected from vehicle.

Traction Control System problem #2

I have a 2009 Toyota Scion Tc which I am very afraid to drive but it is not on the recall list but I am having major problems with the brakes(abs tracking system). I have had 3 very close calls as a result of my brakes locking up(going slow) and unable to stop, even after I take my foot off the brake they remain locked. One incident I almost went right into a busy 4 lane highway. It has happened on dry roads and wet roads are a lot worse, I have to start stopping a lot sooner than one should. I am very stressed when having to drive my vehicle anymore. Another issue which only happened once and was when I was driving slow it felt like my vehicle accelerated without applying any acceleration. I have a stick and I find myself unsure which gear to be in when the roads are wet because at times I feel like I am driving on glass and have to shift to higher gear as if there is too much power causing me to feel like I do not have full control of my car and that I am actually driving on glass and the roads may only be wet.
