Keys won't come out the ignition.Gear shift freezes and won't move out of park even with your foot on the brake.After waiting about five minutes looking stupid the key finally comes out.

problem #1

When started car will act normal until a couple of mins of driving. All of the sudden lights will get very dim, transmission downshifts to first and headlights almost turn off. Next the srs air bag light and abs lights come on and srs light blinks until you stop accelerating. The lights will then get very bright, brighter than i have ever seen them and transmission will no longer shift, not even manually.
