just a weird one here. driving along, slow, in traffic, suddenly warning comes on " tryepressure system fault", then power steering fails, then IBIL roigh sensor fail" then RBIS left sensor fail, then engine stalls, won't restart. stuck in left lane of dual carriageway, hazzards on but still several drivers drove within 2 ft. of my back bumper and the could not manoevre past due to being blocked in from behind ( 80% of these were women). finally, 2 kind blokes help push into side street ti get rid of the traffic jam. them other warnings on dash.... child locks inoperative boot lid open, and a host of other things, can't recall all.finally, no central locking, dashboard lights not coming on. time for a tow truck. i have sussed it this morning and it's all sorted now. just a fishing trip see if any members can deduce the problem.

btw it's a ford cmax, 2012.
 
I had a similar thing on my focus, turned out to be a bad joint on the multipin connector on the back of the dash clocks where its soldered to the board. Must hve been one of the pins for can bus as all the computers could no longer see each other so it threw uo loads of errors including the imobiliser which stopped the engine
