Issue after replacing all 4 Struts

I had all the struts on my 2000 Camry (V6) replaced. When I got the car back the car will won't run...it seems like traction kicks in when I try to accelerate. The ABS and Traction lights are still off. When I turn the traction off from the Traction switch the car runs fine. Took it back to the shop, they don't know whats going on. Any feedback/help/suggestions would be appreciated.

Are you saying it feels like a brake (or brakes) are dragging?

Yes it feels like the brakes are dragging. When I switch off the traction it runs fine.

Well, they had to take the struts out which means they had to mess with the wheel sensors (unbolt them from the struts and most likely unplug them) and if nothing else was done to it, I'd start there.

THing is, if you had a bad wheel sensor or one that doesn't respond at all, I'd think your light would come on? Anything different on the dash?
