So im driving to the airport and as I pulled into the parking lot my front tires sound and feel as if they were dragging. And all of my dash board lights lite up l, the "slip" light and the caution light.

Any suggestions on what it may be.
im stressed right out this morning. ....urgh!!!

Someone just recently posted on this forum that their front driveshaft broke. He submitted photos, it looks likes the sealed U joints may have seized up.

How many miles on your Fuga? Did you notice any wheel bearing noise prior to the problem?

The VDC/Slip lights are likely a reaction to your problem, I am thinking bearings or driveshaft problem could be a few causes.

Check your brake fluid, low brake fluid will cause the lights to turn on, Also if your car has no power it might be the camshaft sensor that is bad. Start with the simple stuff, check your brake fluid, if it's low then its time to change your pads.

My bad....I thought you were trying to say your front wheels feel like they are holding the car back or that you are feeling they are locking up.

LouCast is right, for a VDC/Slip light problem only, go with the basic simple stuff!
