When I fill up my car it will still say Low fuel in my message center box on the dash and sometimes will take all day before it turns off and the gas gauge goes up. It also sometimes will start beeping saying a door is open when they are all shut. It has a few times said check engine and the temperature gauge goes up like its overheated but as soon as we turn it off and turn it back on it's fine and doesn't do it again. And the cruise control only works sometimes. Could this be an electrical issue or something more?

It sounds like an electrical problem. Have the body control module checked. It controls the items you mentioned.

Let me know what you find.
