MY CAR HAS SHUT DOWN MANY TIMES

THE FIRST THING THAT HAPPENS IS LIGHTS ON RADIO AND PANEL GOES OUT THEN i START TO HEAR A DING DING. CAR STARTS TO RUN IN WRONG GEAR. CAR DIES OUT.

WHEN i TRY TO START CAR CAR WILL NOT START.. NO POWER AT ALL. i DO NOT EVEN HAVE POWER TO MY HAZARD LIGHTS. WHEN i TRY AND PUSH THE HAZARD LIGHTS ON i ONLY HEAR A BUZZING SOUND. i REALLY NEED TO FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY CAR.
