Default In Here!!! Problem Sc/soarer>????

I just put my beautiful baby on the road yesterday, i got it back from the shop, safetied and e-tested, and everything passed...
there are 3 things wrong with my car....

brakes squeel without me pushing the brake pedal, and its a loud squeeling, and its coming from the rear (driverside) wheel

from time to time, like today i was driving and the car died, but i had all the electronics working fine? what up with that????

AND!!!!
from time to time, it struggles..... (bogs) ether when i start it up, or when im at a red light....

help me out i am going insane!

First fix your brakes. Have you checked your brake pad thickness?

For your other problem, I think I woulf first look at the fuel pump? With the few details youve given, its hard to diagnose
