Angry Check engine light, esp light on, engine missing

Was driving my '08 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT 3.8 L when suddenly started slowing down. Check engine light ,ESP light and one other came on. Engine started missing very bad and Won't go over 10 mph. Going to have it towed in to dealer.
Has 84,000 miles, been serviced regularly at Dodge dealer since new.

Any ideas what's wrong????

The key will probably be the code that lit the CE light.

Have van back now. It was bad gas. Water in gas caused freezing in throttle body and made tranny go into limp mode. Runs fine now after gas tank drained, new plugs and wires, throttle body cleaned, injectors cleaned and fresh tank of gas. Won't go to that gas station again $$$$$
