When you step on the brakes they make a grinding noise (just replaced brake pads in April), traction control turns on when turning a corner and abs/traction control/stability light comes on randomly. Have replaced hub bearings and sensors in front. None of this has cleared the problem.

scan for codes on abs if light is on then check for rust on brake rotors sometimes that causes it.

if it's still coming on then it needs rescanning it may be something else.check for rust on other side and have brakes checked if grinding when applied.

is there something plugged into the aldl at the lh bottom of dash? if there is that may be the cause of your problem with the light coming on otherwise it's an intermittent problem and unless they can bring something up on freeze frame while doing it then it will be hard to find. If there is something plugged in as that can cause it as well. Still check for rust. if the pads were replaced and rotors were not turned then sand down both sides and or have rotors turned or replaced. this could also be maybe parking brake adjusted to tight. Other than that I have no other suggestions...
