The voltage doesn't have to drop so low the car can't start, just enough that is below "normal threshold." I would first start with the 12v Battery and then continue diagnostics from there should the issue continue.

Great idea. I went and replaced the battery earlier today. The battery had died on us a few months ago after having the doors open for only 30 minutes. I guess I should have mentioned I had a hunch that a power problem could have been an issue. The last time when my car through the VSC and Trac light I happened to be plugging in my phone to the charger that was already in the lighter. After thinking about it more, I think the first time this ever happened with the car I was messing with my phone too.
As stated above I have just replaced the battery and performed the zero point calibration myself. I test drove the car for 3 to 4 miles and everything was great. I decided to plug in my phone to the car charger. The charger into the cigarette lighter first(the one without the spring loaded cover)and it caused no issues. Once I connected my phone into the charger it beeped and the lights came back on. Does anyone have a wiring diagram or know if the lighter and the YAW sensor are connected on the same circuit.
