For about 6 months now when I first start the car and go to take off the stability light with wrench comes on along with the traction assist light, if I turn the car off and restart it the light will go off, the last few days it will just come on while I am driving. I have read some post that talks about the steering wheel sensor may need replaced, is this a possibility, how do you know for sure and how do you change the sensor, I have found the sensor at autozone for about 120.00

    I agree- this is likely something where a good guess will be inaccurate, you need it properly diagnosed & don't buy aftermarket items for this once you find out what's wrong. IMHO a 2007 model is too nice a vehicle to chance an aftermarket electrical part. Irregardless- it's likely VIN specific which will lead you to OEM parts supplier anyhow. I suggest you find a professional auto service center that can check for trouble codes & based on that, then test components. It could be a large array of things. The answer you seek is not going to be found here, only advice. The problem lies within your particular vehicle.
