Volkswagen Beetle esp fault

Car: Volkswagen Beetle
Variant: 2.0
Model Year: 2001
Categories: Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
I purchased by gorgeous beetle around 3 weeks ago, however, the ESP light has now come on and while on the motrway it came on again and and started to shudder terribly, quite scary as i had my little boy in the car at the time and had to pull onto the hard shoulder. Does anyone have any idea why she might be doing this and more importantle whether it is dangerous. Also my airbag light has now also decided to illuminate permanently....any suggestions what the problem may be??? I would really appreciate some advice.

thanx
