Reported at 56,000 miles, June 2018 CrashInjury

I have constant issues with the power deck lid not working when it is cold, it wont even pop the trunk. This morning I experienced a dead battery and when I got the vehicle jumped and started, the power steering warning came on as well as a traction control, hill start warnings and the power steering isnt working at all. The vehicle was stationary. I am unable to turn the wheel.
