Electronic Stability Control problem #1

My 16 year old son was driving the 2016 Lr4 that we purchased "pre-certified" less than 3 weeks ago from field's lr in northbrook illinois. Going 68 on the highway, the wheel started to lock up, the gas peddle failed, and smoke started coming through the vents. He was able to keep a cool head for a new driver and get to side of road by sheer luck that the road veered to the left. Once in park more smoke came through vents and he and his friend jumped out and ran, while the engine continued to catch fire and eventually blow up, as shown in the video below. Post explosion pictures attached too.

Electronic Stability Control problem #2

While driving with my family on the highway, the following alerts started to display: charging syatem fault; abs fault; stability control not available; emergency brake assist not available; transmission fault. The car then suddenly drop the speed from about 45 mph to about 10 mph, causing a near miss with the cars behing us. The engine started to shake and vibrate and sound rough. I was able to pull over before the engine quit at all, and then the message "low battery, please start engine" appeared. Tried to re-start but there was no reaction on the car.
