Description of the problem	While accelerating onto highway, multiple warning lights came on in the instrument cluster. "esp" light on solid, "abs" light on solid and "handbrake" light flashing. I pulled off the highway turned the car off then back on and lights disappeared. After research online i found hundreds of other owners with similar issues. The problems stems from a faulty abs control module where repairs costs thousands of dollars. When this part fails the vehicle has no ability to use abs system or traction control system. This is a major safety system with in the car. The number of owners experiencing this problem leads me to believe this is a wide spread issue with the part used within the system.
