Electronic Stability Control problem #1

Bought car one year and a half ago. Buy car used with 40,000 miles on it. Started having issues with the power steering and leaning at idle. Car skids very easily and rain, can easily cause crashes. Car airbags were recalled.

Electronic Stability Control problem #2

First this is my 2nd complaint on this sme vehicle. I also posted last year on this site when this vehicle stalled in middle of freeway going 60 mph. Now this car has trouble starting. Especially after sitting a few days. Was parked at airport parking for 4 days. Sputtered a few minutes before starting but finally started. Drove 30 miles in rain & stopped to get gas. Then the car would not start. All lights came on. Got several warnings like "key not in range" but it was in range. "stability control error" lots of clicking sounds but engine wouldn't start. Have to have towed and take back to delearship. I see lots of service bulletins on this site for this same issue. Not sure if it's the fuel pump, starter, or something else.
