I had an issue starting the car a week after purchasing it in February. Random warning lights would turn on and off. I read through the owners manual and it said it may be a security issue if the key isn't clean. I cleaned the key it seemed to have fixed the problem but after a few months it came back briefly and I'd clean the key and it would be fine. On the morning of July 30th the car grinded the gears and then had trouble starting as if the battery were dead. The key was clean. After a couple tries it started. Later that day the power steering alert came on and the engine bogged down and I lost control of the vehicle for a brief moment. The light went back off and it worked fine for the rest of the day. The next day after running fine all day while on an exit ramp of a highway multiple alerts began going off and all the warning lights came on and a moment later the car stalled. It would not even crank to restart. The rear caution lights would not work unless the key was turned. The radio and dash work and light up but the power windows wouldn't operate.
