What the!

I recently started having the following warnings come up on the dash and was wondering if anyone has had this issue.
When I accelerate hard either straight or at a corner the 'VDC off' and 'slip' lights come on and stay on. They stay lit until I turn the car off. When I restart the warnings are gone. It is pretty consistent and I accelerate hard often. Any ideas before I take to service?

Seems like VDC blinking or staying on is a issue with the 07's. I have 2 friends that had the same thing going on. It's going to require taking it in.

There is nothing wrong with the car, its just that the brake oil is low. Fill it up to where the maximum line is and you wont see it again. Happened to me and others on the forum.
