Couldn't read wall of text in OP, please use paragraph

Sorry to hear of your misfortune and if TC was disable when you picked up car you probably should have left it and/or inquired about it since it wasn't on when you dropped it off.

No all of the traction control systems worked fine when I picked up my vehicle. I could cycle through all of the options with no issues. The issue didn't occur until later that night when I put on my headlights.

Nice dog. Great Dane? I've got one too.

I can confirm that the ecu doesn't just power you through a corner and into two walls. That was your right foot.

The car doesn't independently power any individual wheel. The VSC can only apply BRAKES to a particular wheel to save your ass.

Three accidents in what, a year? I think i'd be looking at some advanced driving lessons once you get your car repaired properly.

Well then I may be a bit misinformed about how our cars work.
But sitting at a stop light and getting rear ended hardly is my fault. First accident was my fault was wet and I learned to never take off all the traction control. Still don't ever take them all off unless on a closed course.

Shitty situation. From a legal standpoint... if you're gonna hire an attorney take this thread down.

Generally when the ABS and Trac lights are both lit, that means that there is something wrong with the ABS/Trac system. It should disable itself in such situations. Considering that you car has been in previous accidents, it is very possible that something like an ABS sensor was damaged, and picked this opportunity to finally fail and present itself.

I was thinking the same thing. In fact, I bet this is what happened.
