99 Chevrolet Lumina multiple problems

Recently, I had an incident where my car went into some flood waters. After about 10 minutes, someone came along and pushed my car out. I let it sit for around 8 hours and then started it. When it started the following things occurred:

Air bag light came on and stayed on
Seat belt light fades while engine is idle, but brightens as I speed up
There is a tapping noise that increases as I accelerate.

Over the course of a week, the following started to occur.

Service engine soon light came on
Accelerating is erratic-sometimes it stays in first and second. I have to let up on the gas for it to shift. Or, if I accelerate slowly it shifts into third by 10 miles an hour and drives sluggishly.

I had the vehicle in and replaced the transmission filter, had all fluids exchanged, had an oil change, and had an oil treatment done. I have also purchased an additive for my fuel to clear any water from it. Does anyone have any ideas where I should go from here?
