It starts really fast then turns off the key won't come out. It says. PWR STR. I can't move the gear shift. Blinkers don't work door locks don't work. Headlights do work.

Did these problems happen all at once? If not, we will handle the steering issue on this thread and please start a new thread for the blinker, door lock issue. When the steering motor goes out it will have this warning and will not allow you to put the car in gear due to the safety concerns. Here is the part that needs to be replaced. Also, I would check the fuses as well. Check out the images (below). Let us know how it goes.
