Default What is the problem?

I cannot figure out what you are asking. Do you have some sort of specific concern related to your 3 or is that some sort of general question?

A CanBus lost communication message "somewhere" is common, normal, routine, and probably nothing to be concerned about. If you are seeing that message I presume you have some sort of BlackBox Faultmate or similar; if so, it helps to say where or what you saw the message on.
If you have red or yellow lights showing up or gauges on the instrument cluster not working or seeming erratic, you have to be specific.

Also you might respond as to if you have tried the fix per post #39 above - an unplug and replug can resolve many problems at very little cost.

See my post #31 above. There is a link at the bottom of a number of files related to wet carpets and the dash HVAC piping water drain system.
Two of the pdf files have at this time, 1,581 and 1,742 views respectively - hence the content was probably found to be of value by others and may also be the answer to your concern.

These two files relate to plain water, that is rain water and or AC water, not coolant soaking the carpet.
As such, are you certain it is coolant and not plain water soaking the carpet? If it is coolant, than the odds are the coolant level in the expansion tank is dropping. It the level is not dropping then that is good news as the fix per the two files costs nothing and is easy to rectify.
Let us know what you determine.

we found the leak it was heater core that was leaking but now I am having problems with my electronics. The car will randomly give TPMS error, hazards flashing, and system shut down. The carpet was full of coolant. so I’m not really sure problem the cluster but the wires and components on the passenger side floor.

The fix is no real fun but doable. If you have any problem, if will be drying the carpet. Antifreeze does not evaporate like water but it does not eat carpet either.

The odds are that some of the wiring within the door sill channel got wet / is wet and hence not doing what it is supposed to do.
Normally the wet wires problem shows as door locks that will not work. i presume they do so that is good.

In theory you have lights in the door lock and power window buttons both front and rear doors. At night, see if they are still working - that is also a sign of wet wires as they are hair thin and the connectors are often those squeeze type telephone type. Corrosion occurs inside them, (yes, not supposed to) and then problems. The fix is easy once you find the connectors - near impossible - just new connectors.

Other wires and circuits also get affected - that is my best guess as to where to start looking - either way, if it is wet in that channel, it has to be cleaned up.
Below is a link to a good page on the problem.
