Brake problems I think....

I have an 03 MCS
Here is the problem that I am having....

When I go over a bump that causes the nose of the car (suspension) to go up and down three lights come on - dsc, abs, and tire pressure sensor. When I turn the car off and then back on again the tire pressure light is extinguished and the other two go out upon reaching 10mph.

Also, this may be related to the above, not sure. When I brake over bumps I get a rattling in the front that can be felt through the brake pedal.

Please help or advise.....Thanks

The above info is a good start. Can you jack it up, remove both front wheels and take pics to post for more help? Something is not right and outside of taking it to a tech it's going to be hard to say for sure what's going on.
How many miles do you have total and on this set of brakes?
Whats the build date on the drivers door jam?

Those three lights usually indicate a bad wheel speed sensor. These seem to get flakey before they go totally out, and maybe in your case a bump is all it needs to set it off.
