Daughter called the engine lights; tire pressure lights and TCS/DSC indicator lights all came on. The car was vibrating (according to her). Car would not go past 20mph. Tires are only a year old. Possible issues and cost of repair? Thanks

Have no idea how much it will cost, it depends on what is wrong. Was the car having a problem sitting still? engine running? We need more information to help you. It sounds like maybe a wheel bearing hub has gone out. I would run a CAN scan to see what codes are stored for a start.

Hey Ken, the car was fine in idle stage. All warning lights came on right after she started it up. Vibration started as soon as she put the car in drive. Of course, this all happened while I'm at work, so I'll have a better understanding of the intensity of the vibration when I get home. I'll keep you updated. Thanks!

It sounds like the engine is misfiring which will make the lights come on, @ 65k it is time for a set of spark plugs and coils. Here is how the job is done, then clear the codes after words, it should cost about $500.00 for parts and labor, this is what needs to be done.

Recommended Spark Plugs:
NGK Iridium IX - Part Number: ILTR6A-8G
Denso Iridium TT - Part Number: 4712 (or SK20R11 equivalent)

Tightening torque - 15-20 N-m [1.6-2.0 kgf-m, 12-14 ft-lbf]

Gap: 0.044 inches

We heard from the mechanic. Evidently the car's #2 ignition coils need replaced, as well as all of the spark plugs. With that plus the diagnostic service, they want $914.31. Merry freaking Christmas
