Code U0164 :data communication with the climate control system has been lost or interrupted. Code U0155 : data communication with the instrument panel system has been lost or interrupted. Received these codes from on stsr took my vehicle to dealership next day they said they found no errors. But, i don't know how now when ever i use xm sirius radio it always says lost connection/signal. Also, vehicle is always hot like the heater is on when it's not on. Has lost in acceleration while driving highway and city streets been doing that for the last month or 2. Also the dashboard seems to not be working no lights come on when fluids are needed.

2014 TOYOTA PRIUS V with 7000.0 miles
Was driving at approx 20mph on a side road when the car completely lost power and went dead. All the dashboard warning lights lit up at the same time. Lost steering control (the steering wheel became very heavy and was unable to steer). Managed to coast to a stop a 100 feet away (since the car had absolutely no power). Turned off the power button, turned it back on and the car started running again. Took it to the dealer the next day. They ran diagnostics, found codes (listed below) which suggested that the smart key lost communication with the car. They kept the car for an extra day, ran the diags overnight just to see if they can reproduce but, was told that they were not able to reproduce the problem. No idea what may have caused the issue. The smart key was sitting on the center console. Below are the smart key related codes that were recorded: U0100 - lost communication with ecm/pcm "a" U0142 - lost communication with body control module "b" U0155 - lost communication with instrument panel cluster (ipc) control module U0293 - lost communication with hybrid vehicle control system please help investigate this as this is potentially a very serious issue. By god's grace, there was no other vehicle on the road, was going at a low speed and thank god, this did not happen on a highway at highway speed. Thanks.

2014 CAN-AM SPYDER ST with 13588.0 miles
Transmission appears to have shifted into reverse while traveling forward at 45-50mph. Resulting in major engine/transmission failure. Which could have been catastrophic if the rear wheel had locked up instead of freewheeling. Had that happened when a vehicle was behind me it could have been fatal. I was in the process of slowing down as i came into a town and had already downshifted from fifth to fourth. When attempting to downshift from fourth to third a loud bang happened the engine shut off and luckily the machine coasted off the road. Two days before this happened the bike would not go into reverse. I pulled the codes and it had set a U0155 code. I contacted the midland tx canam dealership and talked to someone there who told me to disconnect the battery for fifteen minutes and then reconnect and see what it would do. I did that and it set a P2806 code for gear position sensor. I contacted the midland dealer again and told him that i had no reverse but all five forward gears were working and again stated that i was about 400 miles from home and asked what should i do. His comment was try to ride it home which i did.

2004 VOLKSWAGEN JETTA with 91000.0 miles
Over the past few days it has been raining heavily & although it has happened to me once before this time is what worse. My car is leaking from somewhere & its coming on the inside. My carpets are constantly wet, my airbags alongside windshield leak, and the handle where you open the hood of the car is literally a stream of water entering the car during heavy rainfall. The airbag light has come on and the check engine. I was more concerned with the check engine light so i went and got it checked. The code came up as U0155 - which refers to (lost communication with instrument panel cluster (ipc) control module) meaning my entire dashboard needs to be replaced because of this leaking ! I have taken my car on multiple occasions to vw dealership for servicing (never for this problem) and they never once told me anything about cleaning the sunroof drains every two years as maintenance, it is visible to the naked eye that my sunroof is messed up because when i purchased it the lining on the car around the sunroof is drooping and i cannot open the sunroof because of this. I never thought of it as a big deal because i don't use a sunroof but how was i supposed to know there was a leak without anyone telling me that was even possible. I looked up this problem online, that's how i know what's wrong with my car. I refuse to get it "diagnosed" and spend over 200$ on just a diagnosis when i already know what the problem is and they'll end up charging way more to actually fix the problem. This is my first car and i don't know much of anything about cars except keeping up with oil and filter changes, fuel injectors, and changing my tires when the tread is getting low. I have done all of that at each checkpoint since i purchased at 63,000 miles. There is so much condensation inside i can barely see out my windows, i have sit for at least a half hour car on to be able to see & drive.
