Maintenance/Repairs

Last week, the brake, traction control, cruise, and check engine lights all came on my dash. All but check engine were flashing. The car seemed to be driving fine but cruise would not engage. I drove it to a local mechanic who checked the battery and alternator and reset the computer. He said there was nothing wrong with the car. The next day the lights started flashing again so I made an appt to take it to another garage. This place said my gas cap needed to be replaced (hence the check engine light) and that my vehicle dynamic module was busted. The price they quoted to replace the VDM seems fair ($800). My dilemma is that since picking the car up 4 days ago, and driving roughly 200 miles since, the lights haven’t come back on. My current plan is to wait a bit and see if they do but I’m wondering if there’s a chance that the VDM is ok. Has anyone else had this experience?
