My car has been shutting off and shorting showing the battery light and them when I tap the gas pedal thr gas gage is a half tank but it goes as if its out of gas and the rpms only go up when I am not driving or idling and my ABS light for brakes keeps turning on but now doesnt turn off and this has just started happening oh and thr battery light now has shorted the stalk stereo and it only turns on every so often.

Car electrical components don't work when car is started then begin working sometime after the car is running 5-15 minutes. Gauges, radio, ac, fan, do not work and I am worried the airbags are also not working. I see many complaints about this issue on the internet (repairpal.com/no-start-due-to-failed-passlock-sensor-300). I see the recall for replacing keys but this is the ignition switch that is failing.
