A mind of its own
I have no idea what is going on!!!
I went over an insignificant bump on the road then all of us a sudden, the yellow emergency light went off with a beep! Your ESP is inoperable. What in the world?!!. I pulled over and turned off the car and restarted. The emergency light stayed off until I went over another insignificant bump in the road. Now the ESP, ABS and cruise control becomes inoperable, the brake light goes off, the engine dies for a split second and now the car runs like the computer is playing around with me. By the way, the wiper gets activated too. I was able to get it back home and everything went back to normal. As long as I kept the speed below 35 mph and not accelerate too abruptly, everything went just well. All I had to do to duplicate the warning signals is too accelerate abruptly.
The GL is due to have the diagnostics performed on Tuesday.
Any idea what be greatly appreciated.

Results of the repair
Finally had the chance to pickup the GL last Friday after having it been in service for almost a week. They replaced the steering wheel computer console. "The main computer was not communicating with the rest of the computers!", they say. Well, I drove the GL 500 ft from the dealer and the engine went dead and restarted spontaneously. Drove it back and told them to at least take it out for a test drive before they declare it fixed.
Does anyone have any idea what is wrong with the GL?
