Went out of town & left the X5 with the misses, she picks me up an hour ago and it's sluggish, heavy-feeling, and those lights are on.

Have plenty of PS fluid and the serpentine belt is on, so we drove home. A block from the house while lightly cruising downhill at 40mph, I hear a clunk in the drive train and the "Trans Safe Mode Program" flashes up on the dash for 10-20 seconds & then goes out.

Crap, what's up with all this?

yes, it could be alternator/battery, but not the clunk and Trans mode flash right?
