When starting my car, a steering wheel sign shows on the dashboard and steering wheel became very hard, then RPMs guage, temparature guage, and A/C stops working. Gauges came to zero and A/C stop giving cooling only air coming out from A/C holes. And usually in my car if I am delaying to changing the gear next gear number is showing on the dashboard when this issue occurring the gear changing dash board indication also stop working.

Hi,

You mentioned there is a number that shows up if you delay the shift. What is the number?

Also, because this is a newer vehicle, I strongly recommend having the can-bus scanned for diagnostic trouble codes.

CAN stands for controller area network. Basically, the different modules are tied together via a few wires. If there is a code stored, this will retrieve it.

Here is a link that shows how it's done:

Let me know what the number is and if you can have that type of scan done.

Take care,

joe
