EPS Malfunction!! What is wrong with this car

I get this error message every time a brake quickly or suddenly.. If I ease on the brake it doesnt happen. But if I brake rather quickly this message comes up visit the shop.. I havent done any brake work lately the message just begin to pop. I have brand new tires..

Also when this error light is on .. I really cant cant brake... its almost like the brakes are gone.. I can pump them and they behave better but still not normal.

NOt sure what is causing this issue.
I can turn my car off and back on the message goes away.

MB’s of all kinds.
What year is your car? You may have a ESP Moduel that just failed or has a short of some kind. Did you read the codes?
