Driving back from a long trip (5 hrs) through the mountains and my dashboard started lighting up with error messages (see attachments).

No idea what's going on. Restarted the car a few times, same errors. Have an appointment on Friday for heated cooled seats fix anyways but it will help.

Anyone know what's going on?

20K miles ago I saw this before but it was a battery cap issue.

Bad battery? I know when I had my 17 explorer and my battery was bad, the dash lit up like a Christmas tree and all the systems gave errors because they wouldn’t work with a bad battery.

When this happened before they thought it was a bad battery back at 8,000 miles. They replaced the battery, so it should still be newish. It ended up being a melted battery cap! I'm at 40,000 miles now.

Don't know if you have for scan but I would definitely scan for codes. It will undoubtedly show something. I think it's worthwhile to invest in Forscan Lite with the OBDLink MX+ bluetooth dongle. I take it on trips for diagnostics but you can also run service procedures on the fly. My front half shaft speed sensor failed on a trip. It brings up 3 failures but not the exact same ones you have.
