Problems all around
On my 09 Vibe, bought brand-new the day after it was delivered to the dealership, with 65K miles on it, my dashboard is lit up like Christmas. The check engine light is on, as well as the light that indicates the car is skidding, and the VSC Off light is flashing. The car runs the same as it did before the lights came on. This is on top of my tire pressure warning light coming on at least 4 times a month. And I just found out, somehow my brake fluid reservoir cap has vanished into the ether (I suspect it did this at the oil change place, but they're claiming it didn't, and I don't have proof). Does anyone have any realistic ideas of what could be causing this and what it will cost to fix it? I really loved this car til all this went wrong.

Bet it popped on after a snow storm?

Your tire pressure sensor light... do you have the rims that came with the car (on the car)? Check your tire pressure, you may have a slow leak!!!

You cannot safely drive around without the brake reservoir cap. You need to have the braking system flushed, bled, and capped with the correct cap. This could be causing most of your problems. This is a huge safety issue and driving any distance without the cap can cause prolonged braking or no braking. Get that brake reservoir covered quickly. Some contaminates would be tough to fully flush out and components would have to be replaced. Trust but verify, I am not a mechanic.
