Started the car and had worming lights on. It did it before a couple days ago but went out. This time the lights won't go off and won't go over 20 mph. The ABS light, stability light and air bag lights and tire pressure light are on. I had it towed to the dealership. I was just reading of someone with the same problem but no recall
