Lost ability to read position of gear selection (prndl) on instrument cluster and odometer readings on 2001 Buick Century custom. This was an electronic prndl and odometer display. It was like shifting the transmission blind folded. Safety.

While in motion there was a thumping noise emmiting from the right front tire. The steering wheel locked and the key would not return it to it's normal postion. Also there is a problem with the brakes, also the gear would not shift out of park.
