Reported at 98,000 miles, February 2026 Crash

Bought the truck 2 weeks ago and put 500 miles on it. Upon entering I got an alert on the dash saying ESC power steering failure, parking sensor failure and ABS failure drive with caution. All these alerts happened while the vehicle was parked and barely turned on. Sure enough I try to turn the steering wheel and the power steering was out and the parking sensors were out. I didn't try the brakes since I was not moving and parked.
