Default 2009 Journey Gas gauge and locks stopped working, brake light stays on

Good Day, I have a 09 journey and the other night the gas gauge reads empty all the time ( yes I filled the night before) and the door looks will not lock in vehicle, works with key only, and the brake light come on and stays on. Everything else seems to work fine. I checked all fuses but all are good. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

does the car start and run tho?
Try disconnectiong the battery post for 5 minute and reconnect it, see if it helps. I think your TIPM(central gateway computer) is locking up.
there might be some software update that can adress this issue.

not sure then... havent see any problem like this b4.
but have you done ur Door wiring harness recall yet? or check if your car is affected?
the door problem could be cause by that. but regarding brake lights and stuff, you might have to pay a visit to the dealership.

I am sorry to bring it up, for brake stay on, check relay. it might be dis-function. Relay is like switch, when you push brake, it turns on, release brake, it turns off. This case, it turns on, stuck there. Cheers.
