Hello,
Sometime, but getting more frequent this happens:
I insert the key into the ignition. I turn the key and I notice all power dies. Radio, phone charger, everything goes out. The engine will not start. I turn the key back to remove it and it is stuck. Through various methods of opening and closing the door, pressing and depressing the emergency break, and pressing the regular break I can get the key out. Eventually I can insert the key and start the car.

Is this a dying battery issue?
