Hi,

If you are "stuck in the Mountains", then it would be relatively dangerous to go back down if the vehicle's computer senses any malfunction in the braking system. Even your emergency brakes are also giving a warning. Since your vehicle is experiencing multiple malfunctions, either the sensors are reading wrong inputs, there is something really big wrong with the car or the car's computer is having a glitch. If even after performing the below listed steps and the warnings are still there and/or you are not comfortable with the brakes, then it perhaps would be wise to seek qualified professional assistance and consider alternative ways of going back down.

In most cars, the on board computer could be reset by removing the negative terminal of the battery. Some requires that this be done with the ignition turned ON but engine not running. Likewise, there are some car stereos that will go into protective mode (security lock) when the battery terminals are removed and would require a "code".

On the brake, pls look under your vehicle, there could be sensors that were disconnected. For the brakes, they would normally be at the back of each wheel. Additonally, parking brake lights would also come on if the brake fluid level is below minimum or if the brake pads have reached a pre-determined level of thickness (or thinness in this case).

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.

SOURCE: after oil change car stopped driving

Is this the first time your husband has changed the oil on your car?  Wild guess here, but could he have inadvertantly drained the transmission fluid instead?  Believe it or not, it does happen.  Check the engine oil via the dipstick and see if there is way too much oil in there.  Then locate the transmission dipstick and see if there is any in there.  If not, you'll need to get some transmission fluid (very different from motor oil) and refill the transmission and then drain the engine oil and refill with fresh oil.  For the record, engine oil problems shouldn't affect the transmission.  If there is not enough oil, engine oil lights will come on and if run too long, the engine could sieze up (very bad).
