How to fix ESC
If you see a message that shows ESC, tracking, battery fluid and the triangle light stays on then replace both cam actuators and the problem is fixed. These costs about $75.00 each.

Jim W - considering the chances of both "cam actuators" going bad at the same time is virtually nil, I don't think your advice is very good here man - spending an unneeded $75 can be a disappointment for some people.
Also, when you say "cam actuator", do you mean "camshaft actuator solenoid"? You do need to be specific with the correct terms, as several people have found when they used the term "sensor" instead of "solenoid", and ended up purchasing the wrong replacement part.
Other than all the warning lights coming on, did you grab a code from the OBDII that pointed to an actuator solenoid?
Not trying to rag on you, just trying to clarify the situation. I am sure you can appreciate that the more accurate the info here is, the more it helps others.
