Good Truck, Bad Saturn

Love my 09 Silverado as much as the day I went to get it. On the other hand I bought the wife an 07 Saturn Outlook XR with 50k miles on it but loaded to the hills with options.

We have been enjoying the car for about a year now BUT I did have to do a complete brake system job on it because the Wal Mart service tech filled my brake master cylinder with power steering fluid when it came in the power steering had a bit of a whine to it.( he didn't fix it ) the wife drove it for 2 weeks and she came home and told me the brakes FAILED on her a t a stop light. I checked the fluid and it was cloudy and very thin. Drained the entire brake system and flushed it 3 times in 4 days. Fixed the problem..This was in July when it was 109 degrees every day for 44 days BTW.

She came home 3 days ago and said her engine light and service stabilitrac/traction control was on. Auto zone tran codes and said the battery was bad. I went home and pulled the battery and went back up there a bought a new one ($148.00) for the "special" under the floor type. (UGH) After I installed the new battery the lights are all still on for 2 days now..

Anyone know how to "service " these damn things to get the lights to go off ? It is driving fine other than it tries to spin the front tires at every stoplight without traction controll. (with me driving of course)
