Its been a while since anything was wrong with my car! I blame myself out of stupidity for this one!!!

About a week ago I had just got out of work and was eager to get home so I jumped in the V, cranked her on, threw it in reverse and backed out! As soon as I put it in 1st gear and started driving I noticed that the steering wheel was very stiff and hard to turn! Not as stiff as no power steering but noticeable! I also noticed that my T/C was off, my brake light was on and my ABS light was on! I pulled the brake release to see if I forgot to release it before I left but I think it wont let you release it while you drive. I quickly pulled over to check and sure enough I had forgotten to release my brake when I backed out of work... This is when I started kicking myself!!! None of the lights turned off as soon as I released the brake so I new I really f*cked something up!!! I turned off the car and turned it back on hoping that it would reset itself which worked because my power steering came back and all the lights shut off... the next morning I got in my car to drive to work and noticed that everything that I listed above was back!!! I shut the car off and turned it back on hoping that it would fix it but it didnt so I just ended up driving to work with the issue... Later that day when I left for the day I noticed that it fixed itself again! So as you can see it comes and goes now... Oh yeah before I forget! Im also now getting error messages!
One is for the "steering devise" and the other is for my ABS system...

Anyways if anyone has experienced this please chime in!! Please also chime in if you have some idea's of the fix or how much it will cost to fix!! Thanks everyone

Never experienced this, but it sounds like a steering wheel position sensor, which fail pretty often. I think the sensor itself is like $35.

i had the list of what you have, not caused by the same thing, but it was the wheel speed sensor of the Traction/Stability Control System.
