What I find hard to believe is that you're asking random people online and you're not at a mechanic right now, or at a mechanic months ago. This is what happens when you don't maintain a vehicle or let repairs go, they build up. Most of the warnings you're getting happen when the computer detects problems and shuts off features trying to get around the underlying problems. I can't read trouble codes from here, so find a mechanic who can actually see the car.
