I was driving in town, just pulled forward from a stop light. My wipers started running, my entire instrument cluster started flashing. That included, check engine, oil pressure, low voltage, ABS, eps, lost all speedometer reading, RPM reading, fuel level, engine temperature. On the odometer screen it displayed no bus. Now it does it while running, moving, stationary, and not running with the key turned in the on position.

The vehicle stopped abruptly while I was in the process of driving without warning. The ABS and skid lights constantly blink on and off. When the skid light comes on the vehicle slows down drastically and quickly even with the gas pedal down. The car is also now sputtering. This happens constantly, everyday at any speed..
