Default Traction control/Braking/Warning lights

We got our 2004 Crossfire in April 2018. I have been driving it to work 40 miles round trip almost daily since. About six months ago, the tire pressure light and bulb out light started coming on (for a couple of hours or days) and going off randomly. The BAS/ESP light came on and went off a couple of times as well. I checked for burned out bulbs and low tire pressure and when they were fine, we ignored the lights. About two months ago, both air bag warning lights came on and stayed on. A month ago, while turning a corner from a complete stop, the traction control light came on and the computer (?) applied the brakes twice, the BAS/ESP light came on and the traction control light went off. My husband had me shut off the traction control till we could figure out what was wrong. The car drove fine the next day. The following day I drove to work, traction control off. After about 20 minutes driving, the traction control light started flashing. When I applied the brakes, they locked up and the car fishtailed. I got it to the side of the road, the traction control light stopped flashing and the BAS/ESP light came on.

We took it to a mechanic and he ran the codes. There were a lot (around 35) but nothing matched what was going on with the car. A friend suggested it was a bad ground, my nephew thought it was the ABS control module/pump. My husband checked the grounds he could find and has test driven it. Two or three times the computer has applied the brakes but it doesn’t happen every time.

If anybody has any ideas or suggestions, we would appreciate it. Now the car is parked since we can’t drive it or sell it.
