When I'm driving down the road at time it feels as if I've hit a patch of ice. The wheels feel like they have lost traction but for only for 1-2 seconds. This happens at cruising speed from approximately 40 to 60 mph. Some days it will happen several times. Other days it doesn't happen at all. Also, it seems that when this does happen there is some white smoke that come from the grill when I park & shut off the car.
