How long has your 2004 Chevrolet Malibu had this problem?
About 4 to 6 days now.

Sure. First thing: go to an auto parts store and have it scanned for trouble codes. They will certainly try to sell you parts, but resist that until you diagnose the issue that is causing the trouble code. Typically this is caused by a bad wheel speed sensor, but it could be a larger issue. Traction control and ABS systems fail simultaneously because they use the same components, so don't worry, it should just be one issue to solve both. Yes, this is the reason you car is hesitating. It likely thinks there is some wheel-spin.
