Sounds like battery dis-connect/loss of power.  The ESP tyre warning and steering have to re-calibrate after power loss.  Doesnt help on why this happened but the warning lights are normal.

I assume the bonnet hadnt been messed about with while you were gone?  if not might be worth checking the battery terminals

nobody near the car. the bonnet hasent been opened and the car started fine didnot struggle i have an optima yellow top gel battery as i like my car audio and that thing is amazing, i cant personaly see there being dodgy wiring to this as it was fitted at my usual audio center and they are top banna  never had an issue before, coujld it be anything to do with me not locking the  car as i usually do but for some reason didnt today

may be worth checking the earth cable from the battery to its earthing point.? if it is loos or dirty might be making earth some times and no others
