The contact states that the brakes are not working. Has replaced brakes and still are not working correctly. Also, power steering is out, and the head gasket blew out. Also, transmission has been replaced.

Going down an incline on a curve, at 25 mph and the engine shuts off and the steering locks up. Brought the car to a stop without power brakes working. Car could not be put into park to restart. Put car ito neutral and started right up. Very very dangerous as there is no control over the steering and brakes are only working a fraction of there potential.

Once car shifts into the overdrive or final gear, I experience a hesitation. The hesitation seems to disappear when vehicle speed is around 80 mph. It also disappears when I take my foot off of the accelerator.
