feeling

hostility
panic
despair

Explanation:

The phrases "slammed on the brakes" (a sudden, urgent action), "barked commands at her" (sharp, stressed communication), and "gripped the steering wheel like a hawk would its prey" (a tense, tight, urgent hold) all point to a sudden, intense, urgent state of fear-driven urgency, which matches panic. Suspicion involves doubt, hostility involves anger/aggression, and despair involves hopelessness, none of which fit the urgent, reactive actions described.

Answer:

panic
