ABS (trailer braking system) and stabitrak warning lights randomly come on while driving and remain on until vehicle turns off. On multiple occasions the rear wheels have locked and steering becomes difficult even when brakes are not being applied. This has occurred while driving at varying speeds and in varying weather conditions.

I was traveling south on i65 in tennessee, with the cruise control set at 76mph. I was near mile marker 27 on a steep incline when a car moved in front of me causing me to tap the brake to come off cruise control and slow down. When the car merged right, clearing my path, I touched the resume button to reach-engage the cruise control.
