Ford Focus 2010: Warning lights coming on

I was recently driving my 2010 Ford Focus LV Diesel when the ESC and ABS warning lights came on and the car started braking. I pulled over, restarted the car, and the lights went off. I knew this situation wasn't normal so I fully pressed the gas pedal for about two seconds, and again the lights came on and the car started braking and the engine raced without my foot on the pedal. Again I pulled up, restarted it and all was normal again. What could be the problem; will it cost me a fortune?

It's impossible to say what's wrong with the car without running a diagnostic check on it, so get it to a dealer to have that done. I doubt that it would cost you anything as the car is still under warranty.
