Emergency Brake assist not available /Stability control not available drive w/ care
I got warning in the message center - Stability control not available drive with care and emergency brake assist not available. Those messages went away when I turned the car off and restarted, but I noticed the door speakers now sound blown on the drivers door. Related? How do I remove the speaker covers on the drivers door without damaging them. Do I need to remove the door card?
The warning in the message center is probably a wiring issue. The front end has been removed twice in the last year. I’m thinking a wiring harness should have zigged when it zagged and is probably now frayed.

X2 on the battery. Low voltage could have 'corrupted' the settings.
Once you replace that, I'd verify that the sound system settings are where you want them for the best sound without distortion. (For 'vert owners SEARCHING, remember too that top-down settings need to be verified as well)

To fully inspect the speakers & wiring, remove the door card. Here's the minute-long instructions

These cars like fully charged batteries. New batteries are almost never, repeat, never fully charged at installation. The fact that the battery is new makes it even more likely that the battery charge is suspect, so first fully charge it, and then do the hard reset (disconnect, wait 30 seconds at least, reconnect).

Any updates on this? Same thing happened to me.
Any update on what might be causing this?
We had an interesting event driving last evening, at around 50mph, the car displayed an error that the traction control was unavailable and that we should drive with care. It jerked a little bit as that was happening, maybe the traction control coming off? The infotainment system went fully black. Gearbox started flashing in Drive and didn't want to seem to go. I've put her in neutral and then back into Drive and she started going.
We stopped and fully restarted the car. All seemed good, no errors and the infotainment system came back up. Drove fine afterwards, also this morning, no errors, no apparent issues with the battery (these cars have sensors for that right? Should alert if the charge is low).
Any thoughts? It wasn't a nice experience, especially that we just bought the car around a week ago.

Thanks a lot! I will check when I get home. You are talking about the battery in the trunk, right?
Now that you mention headlights, I did see them flash when it happened, so it might have been that it fully lost electricity for a second.
Do you know if the V6 S has two batteries? We have start-stop and I've heard somebody say that there is a second battery for that system. Sorry for the noob question, are they both located in the trunk?

Oh and BTW, another dead give away that its a bad battery connection issue is that your window auto up/down programming will stop working. Once you tighten the battery, you can reset that.

Not a great video for removal of the door card as all it shows is where the screws are. To remove the door card do not lift up but first grab the top rear with one hand and support the bottom middle with the other. Using your hand at the top pull the door card towards you bit by bit thus releasing all the clips. If you pull up the top metal clips stay on the door card and come off the door but you want them to release from the door card and stay on the car hence the pull towards you parallel with the ground. When you get close to unclipping the front beware that there might be a clip inside the tweeter housing so gently pull in that area whilst fully supporting the door card. Whilst supporting the door card you now have open/close cable to release plus wiring loom plug and socket. It all is really easy to do and done in a couple of minutes.

I disconnected the ground from floorings and reconnected by tightening as much as possible. It fixed the problem. I also checked all negative grounds on car to make sure they were tight and no corrosion.
