Started the car and alarm bell rang. Gas gage was dead and power steering was gone. Had to stop the car and re start it and everything was back. Then we got out on the highway going 70 mph and all the gages went dead, which has happened many many times before and have the routine down now. I pull over and shut the car down, which won't start back up until I do several things. I sit in the drivers seat, take the keys out of the ignition, open the door and lock it like I am leaving the car. Then I sit there until the dome light and the alarm light goes out, once that happens I manually unlock the door, open it and when the alarm goes off I put in the key and start it. Also been having issues with the break lights staying on when I'm not even hitting the breaks.
