Tonight, after (but not during) doing some slow driving (25mph) with the liftgate open (and with a very annoying constant beeping, no way to get that to stop without closing the door?), when I finally close the rear hatch door and drive back home, I get all of these lights on the dashboard:
ABS/Brake/Slip Control lights steady on. Flashing VSC OFF light. I continue driving. A little later, the AFS OFF light starts flashing to. Just great! (at least there is no CEL check engine light)
After parking it in the garage at home, I start it up about 15 minutes later and at least the AFS OFF light is no longer flashing. Taking it out for a short drive, suddenly all these lights go off. What the hell?
Okay, from what I gather, it seems to me like one of the ABS wheel sensors briefly went amiss. Something to let the dealer know about? What the hell the AFS has to do with that, I don't get it unless it too somehow depends on the ABS wheel sensors. Any other thoughts?

Time to go see the dealer service department. Sounds like a computer problem....
