My car was working perfectly until later this evening when I turned it on the ABS light turned on as well as the VSA on my display the brakes got stiff, and I can’t drive it. What is the cause and how to fix it?

This sounds like the master cylinder could be going bad and holding the brake on, but we should run the codes for the ABS because a bad wheel bearing hub can cause the same problem.

Here is a guide to show you how to read the ABS codes:

Also, I would jack the front of the car up to see if you can spin the front wheels, this guide can help. If they both spin, try the rear wheels as well.

Please go over these guides and report back.
