Problems
Drove my 2013 Grand Sport last night and all at one time got the following 3 warnings at once
Service Traction control
Service active handling
Engine light came on
Car ran very rough and engine had ticking noise
Car only has 2050 miles on it
Any thoughts?

Replace the battery.....bad coil....the blue connector under the passenger's foot board....
Sorry, couldn't help it.....
Go right to the last item first, the CEL. Ignore the first two items, the AH and the TC.
AH and TC are safety systems and whenever there is a primary engine management failure the ECM will disable and send warnings on AH and TC. It does this so the driver does not "rely" on these systems while the fault exists.
Remember that both AH and TC can use various engine management functions to operate effectively. Functions such as ETC, Fuel cutoff and spark retard. After the fault is found, fixed and cleared, AH and TC will be restored. Nothing needs to be done with them.

I was fortunate enough to find the problem, but should have checked here on the forum first. It would have saved me an hour of searching.

Might be worth purchasing a $50 scan tool. DTC's will usually give you direction in resolving issues.
After installing a set of spark plug wires I went for a test drive. During the test drive I developed a miss and CEL went on. I knew which wire popped off, but wanted to read the DTC. Sure enough, it directed me to that cylinder with the misfire.
Glad you resolved your issue.
