Traction Control System problem

I was driving home from a mountain community while it was snowing. I activated my ect snow button on my vehicle and proceeded to go up and down two large snow covered mountains. After successfully traversing the terrain, I approached a stop sign when I began to lose control of the car. My safety features , trac and ect activated and righted the vehicle, however, after the vehicle was righted, the vehicle suddenly loss power and seemed as if it stopped. The car was shut off and turned back on, however, the brake, abs, and slip indicator lights remained illuminated. I proceeded to drive on the main road and went down two hills before approaching a hill and began to climb the hill, at which time my rear wheels began to spin and I lost control of the vehicle and turned 180 degrees in the middle of the road. At that time, I decided to go back to my original location, however, trac, ect, nor my brakes were functioning. I slowly went down the hill and approached the first hill I had gone down and immediately, loss traction and spun around into a ditch. Two individuals helped me get the car righted and back on the road, at which I again spun around and ended up in the front yard of vacant house. The car remains at that location and is awaiting pick up by the manufacturer with none of the safety features functioning. I was very fortunate that I was not injured nor did I injure anyone else. The car is currently unable to be driven and will be towed to the nearest Lexus dealer on or about 12/28/2010.
