Traction control light problem warning and red triangle

Boy it's been a while since I've been on the site, I had to make a new account ect.

My problem is after 9 years of flawless operation, I had a warning (1st ever) light, beep tone, and big red triangle show up on the dash. It's the traction control light (the one you see when you slip on ice.
This was after an hour of driving on dry roads, never want over 50 mph , plus stop and go -normal stuff.

I was 4 mi from home, braking and all seemed normal, got home rebooted and now the big triangle is showing, traction control symbol, ! , and there is a car symbol on the mfd with an ! in the middle of it.

Only thing I an think of is my wife hit a good pot hole earlier this week, no problem showed up till today.

And lately if I let the storm door slam shut (it's cold, so the door's shock absorber doesn't work) the car alarm goes off--- probably unrelated--

Any one have suggestions???? I should take it to the dealer??
And I was just bragging on the old girl to a neighbor, how flawlessly she had been running for all these years!!

thanks

Thanks

I just had 4 new tripletreads put on a week ago, my 3rd set, plus rear shocks.

Oh boy, I guess the joy is over!

It only has 85k on her.

I guess it's safe to drive it to the dealer, only 8 mi away

 

I just drove it around a little, and it's defiantly traction control issue I think . My driveway is icy , and when I accelerate slowly the traction control seems out of sorts-- pulsates differently than before (longer pulses and sounds odd), when braking too.

As for the tires, yes goodyear triple treads, I've had them on since the 2nd week I owned the car (9 yrs) they are way better in snow than the OEM ones

I need to go to the dealer any how, as there is a recall I haven't had addressed.

 

I did that earlier, 42 front 40 rear, where I keep them

Now just the triangle on dash is on and car/! icon on mfd is only thing on
