I kept losing my braking ability. It felt like something was blocking when I pushed on the pedal. I was told it was the Booster. this was replaced. I have 4 new tires, whith wheel balancing and alignment. I was told my brakes were fine. My steering wheel shakes badly when I brake. I still lose my brakes at times an then the transaction kicks in and then the stabilazation light comes on. this happens all the time ,even in dry weather.

If your steering wheel is shaking when braking, then you still have serious issues with the brakes. You either have severely distorted rotors or you could have a brake staying on and overheating the pads.
