Hello and thank you for writing in. With the multi symptoms that you are experiencing with your vehicle, there are a couple things that are wrong. The first thing is the ignition switch probably failing. All of your power devices in the vehicle are turned on with the key in the ignition. Some options with the stereo and trunk are obtained with the key on or the button pushed on the key remote access. I recommend replacing the ignition switch that matches your ignition key. I also recommend replacing the battery in the remote to your vehicle. These repairs should fix the multiple issues.
