    Lately my ABS and parking break lights have been coming on intermittently. When this happens, I lose power steering. Any ideas?

    Also, the key sometimes sticks in the ignition and I have to press the button under the steering column to pop it out. Again, any ideas?

    check your fluid level for the brakes. That's not a parking brake light, it's a holy crap you might not have breaks the next time you step on them light. Which doubles to let you know the p brake is on.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    Brake levels checked out, plenty of pressure on the pedal, and the car stops fine.

    As of today, both warning lights are off and the car is behaving normally.

    Come to think of it, the key hasn't been acting up today either.

    Maybe the car is just tempermental...
