Scion xD Brake lights Problem

In Nov. I had to replace the clutch. Now, the car loses power. I am driving, the dash flickers, going dark then coming back on. I have to restart sometimes. A few weeks ago the tire pressure light came on. Then three days ago the ABS, Brake and VSC traction lights would come on intermittently. I took it to my mechanic and he found a screw in the tire. He patched it and no brake lights have come back on. But yesterday, before the mechanic looked at it, the car lost power when the brake lights all came on. I thought it was related until the morning when I lost power 5 times taking my kids to school.
