    Hello all, I looked to see if there was a thread related to my problem but I haven't been able to get an answer. Several weeks ago I replaced my Front left wheel bearing as it went bad. Today, I was driving and was showing off the car to a friend so I put it into tapshift mode and got on it in 1st. When the car hit 4k rpm, it started bucking as if someone was stomping on and off the brake pedal. I backed off and dropped her into second and tried her out again. Once I reached 4k, it started to buck again in 2nd. I backed off right away and then my trip computer said Traction and Stability management was disabled and needed to be serviced. Is there a possibility it has something to do with the new wheel bearing? I checked the connection and it isn't lose or anything. Came back and drove her again and didn't have the problem. Is this a common thing or is it something I need to worry about happening the next time I get on it? Any help would be great!

    Sounds more like a misfire issue to me.

    I'd run a scanner on the OBD2 and check history codes.

    sounds like traction control is kicking in on you. hub could be bad, or the wires to it or another hub are damaged.

    scanning it will tell for sure tho.

    Ok, I am taking the car in to have the ignition key recall done. I will have them check for any codes. Drove the car again to go to dinner and had no issues. I don't think it is a misfire because both times its happened, the trip computer says the traction and stability control are turned off and need to be serviced.
