ESP ABS inoperative error

Hello any advice is welcome and needed currently I am sitting at my job right now at a semi trailer lot which is gravel. As I was sitting here my car popped up a error message saying passenger srs airbag error and then right after my dash he he triangle light up and I got a message saying ESP inoperative see owner manual and then my engine light came on I decided to turn vehicle off start and drive and it still shows and my abs light comes on for a couple seconds and says abs error then turns off with airbag air coming and going as well I do have a passenger who was sitting kind of sideways in seat and believe it tricked the sensor to cause it but have no clue on any of the other errors. PLEASS HELP I will take pics of error message when possible

Try recalibration the steering angle sensor.

Park on a flat surface with wheels straight. Turn the car off, remove key, replace the key , start the car and turn the steering wheel lock to lock 5 times. It sometimes takes more that one try. Worth a shot.

I tired this why on site and after returning home with no luck to ever attempt any suggestions on a independent mechanic who could diagnose my problem or will I have to go to MB and deal with their upchargerd prices

Possible you need a new front SAM.
