Default electrical problem!!!please help

Hello guys, i have a 08 C6, auto with about 14k miles....the other day i was in a drive thru at a local restaurant and all of a sudden the navigation screen on my c6 turned off, the a/c stopped blowing cold air and felt like the car lost engine power(it felt as a rough idle, almost to the point were the car was going to turn off) After a couple of seconds everything came back to normal, but it did it again and again...the screen on the dashboard said: "shocks inoperative" and "maximum speed 80mph"

any ideas of what could be the cause of this?

thanks!!!

I have seen on other threads where a discharged battery causes screwy things to happen on these cars. I would have the battery checked first.

if the temperture starts to overheat the motor I believe it will shut down the a/c to prevent overheating the motor
