My vehicle listed above is a 2006 it has been turning off a few times while driving almost all the lights came on when I turn the AC on after that the car just turn off. If you can help me to give me an idea of what it is I would appreciate it.
Thanks

Numerous warning lights indicate the computers for those systems are turning off, and to have so many do that at the same time is commonly caused by low system voltage. Start by having the charging system tested with a professional load tester, not the quick tester they use at auto parts stores. In particular, I would like to see "full-load output current", "charging voltage", and "ripple voltage".
