Problem with Wheels???
Hello people!
I am having an issue with my RX. I was on a trip for a week and the car had to set for a week. It was around October.
When I got back in, the DSC light and the traction light bth stayed on. After I started to roll out, the power steering light came on as well and steering got a little harder. And to top it all off, my speedometer and the Kilometer gauge do not work, they stay at 0 or at the last KM stand it was at when I turned the car off.
Any ideas??? I really am so worried this is a big issue...

Every single thing you mention uses your wheel speed sensors (even the power steering, as the amount of the assist is speed dependant). You probably have one damaged, disconnected, or failing.

Judging by your answer, I am assuming you're not even old enough to drive. I would appreciate a grown-up answer.
I need help as this car will be shipped within a week and the problems just started. I would like to know if I can do something or if I need to go to a dealer.
Help is much appreciated here thanks!
