Thank You for contacting JustAnswer!
Hello I'm John. I am an ASE certified Master Technician with over 20 years experience in the Automotive Industry.
I know it can be frustrating having vehicle problems. I'll do my best to help you. Please understand that
I don't know what your skill level is, what tools you have available and I can not physically see what you are doing.
If it is more helpful the site automatically offers a premium phone call service where you can talk to me directly or another Expert may call you if you request it.
Please understand that this not a direct request from me as it is automated. You may accept or decline, but please understand that
I may not be able to call right away as I may be helping another customer or researching information related to the problem you are having.
Now let's get started! Have you scanned for fault codes?

I'll start off with some basic checks to do, then we can get into more advanced diagnostics if needed. Let me know if any questions come up, or if there is anything I can do to help! You can update this message at anytime.
A scan Tool that has ABS/Traction Control functions is the next step.
Without knowing the fault codes numbers, it would be irresponsible to guess as to the cause as there are hundreds of possible causes
if you provide me a diagnostic code we can narrow down the cause of failure
Still not sure what you need?
Have a certified mobile mechanic diagnose what's wrong with your car, at your home or office.
