The emergency brake light coming on is probably low brake fluid like POS VETT said. The traction control & ABS light is something else entirely, especially since it stays on. Take the car to a trusted mechanic, someone that has a really good scanner to read the system. You will probably find you have a wheel bearing that is going bad, probably the front one (that's what went bad on mine). The good news is that you can do it yourself, if you are so inclined. The bearing is in an assembly that is removed with 4 bolts from the spindle (after removing the caliper, bracket and rotor). The part is available from Amazon for $96 & free shipping (it's a Beck-Arnley part). Once you find out what's going on, PM me and I'll give you the part numbers (Beck-Arnley for the front, Timken for the back). Good luck.







BTW, if you are not mechanically inclined, the dealer cost to fix mine was $500. I thought it was a press on bearing, so I had the dealer do it. I wasn't real pleased when I found out it was an assembly I could have done myself....
