Over the last several months I've had a strange thing occurring in which the battery and brake light dash lights would illuminate intermittently but often never really truly go out. The brake one would be dimmer and never seemed to affect anything.

Today while driving the vehicle seemed to basically lose power while driving. I pulled over and restarted and it seemed ok. Later on I stopped and parked. I returned to the car and turned it on now VDC and Slip lights are on at all times and starting seems harder than usual.

What is going on? Obviously need to bring it in but would like to know some information beforehand.

Battery light turns on when the car isn't charging properly, this can cause any of the several computers to malfunction so I would look into that first.

Hard starting could be a failing crank sensor (CKP) or cam sensor (CMP), OBD2 scan the car and see if there's a hidden code for one, also you need an OBD2 scanner that can pull the chassis systems code for the VDC system, the codes all start with C####
