    Yesterday the ABS, VSC and (!) lights came on when I accelerated hard out of a right turn and momentarily lost traction from the back tires. In addition, the parking brake light came on and won't go out whether or not the parking brake is engaged.

    I had the car towed to the dealership, and I"m waiting for them to look at it.

    Anyone have any thoughts about what might have gone awry?

    Your thread title is very misleading. I suggest the mods change it to something more appropriate.

    I'm going to wait until the codes and diagnosis come back to change the title. Then I'll change it to whatever the problem turns out to be.
