Help. I have a 2011 Ram 1500 5.7L. When I accelerate, I hear and feel a grinding noise coming from under the driver side steering wheel area. The ABS, Traction Control Light and Brake light all come on. Also the speedometer will shoot up to 70mph even though I'm not going that fast (probably going 20mph). After I get past 20mph the noise goes away and drives perfectly normal. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Park it "now" until you can go over all the front end components.If you have a bad wheel bearing it can kill you if the front wheel falls off at speed.

Sounds like your wheel speed sensor is going nuts which may be a byproduct of a bad wheel bearing.
