This vehicle has an electrical issue from time to time seemingly out of nowhere. There is no power steering it just shuts off sometimes it’ll stay off for an hour sometimes it’ll stay off for weeks and I can’t figure out how to fix it. It randomly fixes itself same can be said for the air conditioning And the driver side, headlight all of these electrical functions, seemingly turn themselves up or down for no apparent reason.

Daytime running light turn signal dont work for the passenger side which can cause a safety problem to other drivers
Driver lights will not work switched bulb and checked fuses
The drl and tail lights flicker at high speed when car is running!
The right front turn signal does not light or blink when the lever is pressed down. The rear right signal works as do the front and rear turn signals. I feel this is a safety hazard. My dealer says we will have to replace the command module at a cost of @ $1400.
