It happen to me once, I removed the negative battery terminal, let it sit over night and the next morning everything was back to normal. Hope this helps.

"Rebooting" is an easy start (as noted) for any computerized system. All the best.

Would hope that a computer reboot would do the trick. If not, may be time to get it checked out by a Tech.

Sounds like it has other issues... but my '14 occasionally appears to be stuck in Tour, but what has really happened is Link-to-Drive mode has turned off for no reason. So the modes change (steering / suspension / exhaust) but the dash display itself doesn't update. I just manually put Link-to-Drive back on, switch modes again and everything is fine.

As you have a '14 I have to still ask the obvious. If it's on the original battery I would change even if you get battery checked & says OK. Many "gremlins" occur due to weak battery in our computer run cars. Also, seem to have read here, that the high amp draw items like HVAC equipment won't run to protect battery if it's low. JMHO
