1 Car Will Not Start problem

Failure Date: 06/01/2020

I was in el paso texas because my father was in the hospital when I rolled down my driver side window it wouldn't go back up. There's no further details as to why it won't go back up that's all I did was roll it down. And every since that day at least once a day when I'm turning or slowing down the car will completely turn off and go into auto park and lose all power. It also constantly says it's going an auto park when I'm on the freeway going 75 miles per hour. All of the gauges will go down to zero and back up when I'm on the freeway and it won't shut off and lock up on me but if I'm going below 20 miles an hour it will lock up on me. This happens way too often I have kids and it's very dangerous. But now my car will not start at all.
