Default Warning Lights

The weather got cold here and the following lights came on: brake, ABS, steering, battery, slippery indicator, triangle warning light, check headlight system. The PRNDL does not light up. Doors usually lock when PRNDL is moved and is not automatically locking. The hot/cold needle is not moving. All items on the display are not working: otside temp, gas mpg, gear shift...

With pretty much everything lighting up, I would say the instrument cluster is going bad, or a bad connection. Just a guess though.

FYI, I had the battery tested. It was only one year old. Changed battery but everything still lighting up. Brought it to dealership. They ran diagnostics and could not find a problem. They kept car overnight and will run more diagnostics. I will post the problem whenever we find out what it is.

I am sorry this happened to you. It is a lot of money, specially after the holidays. I would get a second opinion or at the very least have the dealership print out how they came to this conclusion.
