if the brake pedal is hard, this could mean a vacuum pump failure. If you continue to drive it, plastic pieces could get inside your engine and cause severe damage. Not sure if the other lights could be related, but either replace the pump and be sure to get all the plastic peices out, or have it towed to get it done.

Multiple systems failures could also indicate a weak battery - have it load tested.

Keeps showing side detection system service..battery and charging system are good..tested..all the other lights are very intermittent now but side detection happens on start up then dismiss it and goes away until started again

Could be one of the sensors in front or rear bumper, or a control module. If you don't have a scan tool or don't care to check connectors to the sensors, a trip to your mechanic is the best route.
