Description of the problem	About two weeks ago while driving straight on a city street in dry conditionat a steady speed the esc light on my dash came on and would not go out until i had parked the car for some time and restarted it. The light then came back on again after about 5 minutes of driving, this time it was accompanied by the electric power steering warning light which began to flash orange, then was solid orange and then flashed between orange and red. When the electric steering light is orange the steering assistance is reduced when straightening after cornering, however when it is red there is no power assistance and this condition can happen at any speed and at anytime without warning. Now yesterday(7/14/2019) when driving at 40mph in a straight line in the dry, the engine fail! Workshop now!, esp,epc, electro steering, cel and abs warning lights came on accompanied by a chime and the speedo went from 40 to 0 and back up again while in motion. Quite disconcerting to have all that happen at once. After all the lights went out the vehicle seemed to be ok until i attempted to pull out of a gas station at which time with the vehicle in drive i pressed the accelerator and the revs went up but the vehicle did not move until the third attempt. I have read on line that this maybe a result of an abs module failure but my vin doesn't pull up any recalls and my vehicle is out of warranty. Not only does this sound like it will be an expensive repair, it is also a hugh safety issue! Unfortunately i don't have any pictures as it is completely random and not safe to try and take pictured while driving.
