Bumped curb in the snow, just need alignment or worse?
Today i was going around a turn in the snow when a 4x4 malfunction and traction control malfunction notifications came up on idrive. I bumped the curb with both drivers side wheels at less than 10mph and while there was no visible damage the lights stayed on for 4x4 malfunction and traction control malfunction, the handbrake light also came on even though the handbrake was down and continuing driving it was pulling hard left the whole time. After getting home and leaving it off for a while the malfunctions arent appearing anymore but the steering is still pulling hard left. Would this just be an alignment issue or is it more serious?

Bent wheels and control arms are usually culprit but if it's moving to the other side you have some suspension component damage and most likely a bad control arm. I would get it checked out at an Andy and tell them what you did. Most likely an alignment is off because of the damage there's a reason why your alignment is off there is a problem.

Same thing happened to me this past weekend. Hit the rear driver side wheel on a curb going about 10-15 mph. I was driving in snow today and the car kept pulling to the left, not sure if it was because of the awd malfunction message or tires? Keep me posted on what the dealer says....

10MPH is definitely fast enough to damage other components. Get your car inspected as soon as you can.

Have the thing scanned so you know why the lights are on... don't go all pep boys throwing parts at it. Those lights at the same time could mean a wheel speed sensor fault. You could have jarred the connector loose, they are quite flimsy as they get older.
