1 Service Brakes problem

Failure Date: 10/11/2023

My esp button stays on and including the air bag light and I've tried everything trying to turn it off as well as my engine light and my hard parking brake which keeps turning on and won't turn off while driving and it feels harder to press the gas and I lost complete control on the freeway some how but I believe its due to my esp button, idk much about cars so this is the best way I can describe it, not many cars around on the freeway but I would've died if there was. . The fuel system is always having issues as well amd ive changed it many times but I'm more worried about the fact that I lost control and the fact that when I use my parking break that the car won't hold completely so please please launch an investigation so I can get my car fixed, thank you.
