Recently I have been experiencing a few problems while accelerating. At random times when I accelerate my car will start braking. When I press the gas pedal I can feel the brakes activating and if I push the brakes during this time I feel them pulsating as if the antilock brakes has activated. The only thing I can do is allow the vehicle to brake itself before I am able to accelerate again. I had the codes read and came up with a misfire code (P300 and P305) and a loss of communication with pcm code that has "abs" in the corner of the screen that code is U1016. Sometimes the car jerky or stalls a bit while driving maybe because of the misfire I'm guessing. But the big problem is the brake while driving issue.

With these codes you should take to a local pro to fix its a can 2 problem. The abs system is not talking to the pcm so it brakes when it's not supposed to. He'll have to hook up a pro scanner and see if he can find where the problem lies like a bad connection or shorted wire maybe. A can network is where several modules are hooked together and one of them is kinda goofing off. So he'll have to find the problem of which one.
