I have had shaking in steering wheel at 60-70 mph and brakes cause the car to shudder. The brakes grabbed when lightly touched them at 70 mph to avoid a truck that pulled into my lane. Afraid that vehicle will lose control due to sudden brake and shudder in steering.

Intermittently when starting to drive after being stopped at light or stop sign the engine will hesitate and bog down for a few seconds before it "kicks in" and then there is a "surge of power". This is very annoying and also very dangerous as someone could easily get rear-ended or worse yet get caught in the intersection in oncoming traffic.
