Battery is 6 years 6 months old. Car dies at stop lights, starts right up, but now it is "missing while I am driving" Once in a while, dash lights don't come on when started, then after driving they flash on.
The leveling system isn't working. I can hear it trying to, but it does not come on. The trunk lid support
came loose and when they welded it back on, that is when the leveling system quit working. The trunk
lid is not seated right and one side is higher than the other. Any suggestions? My mechanic is good, but sometimes he seems unsure of this Aurora.

The trunk lid sounds like something was welded wrong. As far as the electrcal issues, have you had the battery checked? Have you checked ground straps? Alt?
