Got a Question!

Ill be driving down the road and then suddenly the cluster lights up with these lights: ((ABS)) light comes on parking brake light comes on, DSC correction light comes on. and it seems to happen right when my gas light will come on too. Anybody know? Could it be a loose fuse?

I found a similar thread as I scrolled on down, but 2 things are different for me, Im not taking any turns hard when my 3 lights come on, Im driving straight, and I dont have staggard wheels, but I do have aftermarket wheels on.

Does it happen when you're close to stalling?

The car is not close to stalling at all, im in gear pulling 4 or 5k rpms. How do I find out the build date and the flash? One thing that is weird is that my gas light comes on shortly after, its not lying im low on gas but it seems that i have been low gas the 2 times this has happened. Not sure if it concidence or what.

build date is on the drivers side, passanger door...

and if you are doing full speed runs with less than a .25 tank.. it is going to pull throttle...

So will the dealer do anything for me? Should I just take it up there and see what they say?
