Sounds like you have some major electrical problems going on there. First things first, check the grounds from the battery and to the frame. Also check your fuses to see if any of them have popped. Beyond that the dealer will probably have to come into play, as it sounds like a major electrical nightmare unless it is one of the more simple problems I listed first. Good luck with it and keep us posted.

well i did get a new battery the day before so is that what you might be talking about? i went to the shop and they said my fuses are fine same with my sensors.

Check to make sure the battery connections are tight, especially on the negative side. But honestly if the car is running and everything else is functioning fine, something else is wrong.
