    First day of lease.. multiple warning lights.

    So I sold my 10' and just leased a brand new 2012 P+.. the reason i sold my previous car was because of the laundry list of problems it gave me, which i won't get into. I just chalked it up to getting an early build. I just picked up my new car today.. the third time i started it up, i got several warning lamps. TPMS, Parking Brake, Headlight range, ABS, and ESC all lit up one after the other.. WTF. I'm pretty sure i've heard this happen to others on the forum.. any insight? Car runs completely fine..

    edit: if i recall, i hit some uneven pavement, a series of potholes that had been filled in but were still wavy and uneven, and simultaneously hit the brake to stop for a red light. the first light to go off was the ESC.. i could see how that scenario might upset the ESC and ABS but the parking brake, tpms, and headlight range don't make much sense.

    Headlight range, could be due to suspension trying to move the xenons too far to compensate..

    Parking brake.. no clue..

    This comes up all the time. Like you said, hitting those bumps probably caused a fault to trigger somewhere.
    On our platform, when one error is thrown, some other modules throw errors too. For instance, almost any fault will trigger the parking brake fault - even though there may be nothing wrong with the parking brake.

    Obviously, take your car to the dealer and see what they say.
