Car would jerk and lurch when braking. Sometimes steering wouldn’t work. Other time it works just fine like nothing is wrong. What is going on? ---

Any dash lights when that happens? ---

Loose suspension can cause a shift or jerking sensation when braking. If this is the case, that much movement means considerable wear on the suspension component and should be checked right away. ---

Sometimes the check engine light comes on, but after restarting the car (sometimes in the middle of the road) it works fine for the whole trip. ---

You need to get this car checked out for stored error codes. And good independent mechanic should be able to read the codes. So will many auto parts stores but I suspect the codes you have set are deeper than the auto parts stores can read. ---

Ya. Gonna go to an auto shop tomorrow with it and drop it off at my mechanic to look at. I am guessing the crankshaft sensor is bad. ---

One possible cause of interplay between the brakes and the engine is a ruptured diaphragm in the power brake booster system. This can cause a large engine vacuum leak. It can also cause the engine to ingest brake fluid and run poorly.
