Probably dry wheel bearings. You need to get in and have them serviced (inspected, cleaned and packed with proper grease) as soon as possible.

Yellow triangle with ! in the middle popped up on dashboard what does that mean

It's the ESP warning light, You may have a ESP button on the dash which you can push to reset it, Otherwise try having the car idling in neutral and turn the steering wheel fully left then right the back to middle, This should reset the light, if it comes back you will need to get the car plugged into a diagnostic scanner to find the issue.

Yellow triangle with ! in middle popped up on dashboard what does that mean

Hi there:
this is the ESP warning triangle and is normal , what this is is when the wheels start to slip even very slightly the triangle will flash , if you look at your switches on the dash there will be one that says ESP off , if you press this the triangle comes on solid , press again and it goes out.

Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I`ll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.

Thank you for using FixYa, have a nice day.

The ABS light is illuminated. The Word Brake is flashing. There is a Indicator light that is a Circle with a triangle inside lit but not flashing. I drive around for my job and these usually come on later...

If the weight was on the back side of the wheel it's possible that it knocked a wheel sensor for the ABS system. It could have loosened a wire connection for the sensor too.

There a yellow triangle light on dash

This triangle might be the warning light that the traction control system is switched off. to switch traction control back on again, locate the button to the lower right hand side of the steering wheel, down beside the headlamp levelling switch. The button should read VSA OFF. With the engine running press this button and the lamp should go out. Note that in slippery conditions when the front wheels start to spin this triangle will flash as the traction control kicks in. Hope this helps. Stuartie.

Yellow Flashing Exclamation Point inside a triangle,

That light comes on when DSC (dynamic stability control) has been turned OFF or is off due to a malfunction such as a wheel speed sensor or brake pad sensor.

Yellow (circled arrow) around a yellow triangle

That light is the traction control device that's been turned "off". It also comes on if the traction control is engaged. On my it can be turned on and off by the switch next to the drivers window toggle. could it be you hit this switch? If it stays on in spite of the switch, could be a wheel sensor. Doesn't hurt performance (could say it helps performance if it's off) but tire life and driving in rain and snow make it useful to have it functioning.
