The ignition switch and key fob is not working at all. Vehicle is stationary and will not start. Apparently, there is a loss of functionality.

I went to the gas station to get some gas. I was on a city street in anahiem, ca. I put in 25.00, but it only took 21.78 when I went to start my car it would not start. I sat in my vehicle for at least thirty minutes trying to start it. I ended up contacting triple a for a tow to my residence.

I bought this car used 2017 and didn't have many issues, just normal wear and tear, but then I started having issues when trying to unlock my door with my key fob to a point I had to keep my car unlocked because I wasn't sure if I would be able to get in without assistance. Then, the same key fob wouldn't start my car! I'd just pull up to a store, hop out then come back and 20mins later I'm still trying to turn the car on and the only thing that help was if I jiggled it a little and slightly push it in, but what scared me was the fact that I was driving one day and my car just stopped for no reason almost causing a multicar accident. I decided to replace the key and had a new one reprogrammed which worked for a while. I am a delivery person and about 6months after the new key I started having the same issue, but this time I had to quit working and have my car towed because it wouldn't start but this time there was a red light saying "anti theft"!

The engine shut completely off during driving. I lost power steering and automatic braking. I tried to restart but it would not turn over. The battery and the alternator were not dead. I had it towed to a shop and they said the engine control module was dead. It almost caused me to have an accident. I then had to have it towed to a dealer for repair.
