Try checking the battery connections first. Sometimes a bad ground will cause such things.

After that it will likely have to be taken in for service if there are no error codes popping up. Today's electronics are unsolvable by an untrained DIY mechanic.

I dont think its the road becuase it feels like the engine is runing out of breath like its gonna die on me in any sec.

Not "bad ground" as in rough road terrain. Check the grounding strap on the battery terminal. It could be corroded or loose at the battery or at the connection to the engine block. While you are there, check the positive terminal as well.

It is not likely this is the fix because the alternator supplies enough voltage while the car is running. If Kragen Auto Parts, or one of the affiliates, is in your area then you can have them check the battery and the alternator for free - as long as the parts are out of the car.

To have both components go out at the same time along with all of their warning lights is a very low probability. Might as well plan to take it to a good mechanic or to a Lexus dealership if you are rich.
