Electrical issues?? SOLVED

I'm curious if anyone else has experienced this. At first it seemed to happen occasionally when I hit a bump but now it is just at random times. I will get a random warning chime and either "service engine required", "brake system service required", or "abs service required" on the display. The radio will turn off and back on again and sometimes the car seems to stall.

Any ideas?

::UPDATE::

Now, the gauges and the stereo shut off while driving yet the car still runs fine and I have to jump start it to get it to start...

Look for corrosion on main harness connectors.

Also check to make sure all your grounds are good.

Could also be a can network issue assuming you have a 2015 evo x .

If 1 module has a can network issue it usualyy brings down other modules on that can bus. I.e c can. B can

The brake service and abs light would flash on and off if I braked or cornered aggressively when my clutch line was leaking. It would uncovered the level sensor I guess?

I would checked your main ground first.

Well, I feel like a noob now. Apparently, the dealership would disconnect the battery while it was parked and they didn't tighten them back down. Problem solved.
