SOUNDS AS IF YOUR FRONT BEARING ARE NO GOOD,i WOULD GO AHEAD AND REPLACE BOTH SIDES
Thank you all. I did have it looked at and its is that. It's going to cost me over $500 bucks to repair. I haven't had the car six months yet smh.
Broken tone ring on hub

I have the same issue - ABS and traction control light came on, heard a rattling noise and the car lost acceleration. I thought it was the transmission, but the tachometer didn't move when I gave it gas. Pulled over and turned the car off. Started it up again and no light. I found if I drive the car under 60 miles an hour I don't get any dashboard lights. If I drive over 60 miles an hour the ABS and traction light come on. I can believe a bad sensor or tone ring can cause the lights to come on at speed, but why would that cause loss of acceleration?? I don't think it's wheel bearings because I have no issue at under 60 miles an hour, no noises when turning Etc.
