So you hear and read all these horror stories of cars breaking down out of the blue and shrug them off. Today, this happened to us.
I was driving back into our neighborhood as usual and during the slow left turn, all warning lights came on, warnings about Autosteer not available and others came up in quick succession. It reduced its speed significantly and warned me it would shut down shortly.
We made it right into our driveway before that happened and basically the entire left side of the display (where the gear selector is) is showing blank. I was not able to put the car into park and it was about to roll off the driveway when I lifted the foot off the brake. We secured it with a 2x2, but headlights remained on, passenger side door, windows and tail lights were completely dead. After closing the door it locked itself.
It eventually turned the headlights off and unlocked again. We initiated roadside assistance who troubleshooted and eventually sent a tow truck. The tow truck couldn't tow it because by now somehow the parking brake engaged, but they didn't bring a dolly, so that will happen tomorrow morning.
It looks like the steering wheel controls, the card readers, the right side controls are all dead. I was able to turn the entertainment system off and restart it through the on-screen menu, but that didn't help much. The problem is probably rooted much deeper. The car doesn't even have 3k miles on it and got delivered May this year!
Anyway, just wanted to share and will keep posting updates, but the confidence of taking this car on a trip is gone, at least for the time being.
Sorry about the blurry picture, it got dark now.
