Maintenance/Repairs

I just bought my car from Dave Hallman and was told it was in good condition I didn’t notice until after driving off that I had to hold my steering wheel at about I’d say 15 20° degree angle just to steer straight. Now if I hit a pothole the entire car shakes violently I have to pull over put it in Park and pray that when I put it in drive the shaking stops which usually occurs another issue I’ve noticed is that when I try to accelerate if I don’t have my traction control on it’s like I’m pressing the gas but nothing’s happening there’s no acceleration unless I move the steering wheel around usually toward the left and then it will start to pick up if I leave my car idle too long it won’t go anywhere if I shut it off and wait for hours it will then continue to accelerate again but if I try to go anywhere after I’ve left it a little too long I press the gas it revs but no motion someone please help what could be wrong one more added note when going down a hill it’s almost like it’s braking on its own
