You need a new brake light switch.  As you drive with your foot on the gas, and the switch wigges out and turns on your brake lights.  The computer will not let you step on the gas and the brake at the same time so it turns of the signal to give gas.

The EPC light was the dead give away.  That is caused by a bad brake light switch.
