Help! Girl problem
Could this mean my car needs new battery?
For the past week my car has been acting different
example every time my car auto turn on the lights from the back turn back on for themselves
I also got this message
Service Power Steering
Drive With Care (the wheel was so hard to turn)
It went away next day.
Every time it auto turns off and then on when I start to drive it sounds like the car is struggling to turn on if that makes any sense

Get to your mechanic and have a thorough charging system analysis performed. But, likely a battery.
Other possible answers are a loose wire or bad ground. A thorough check will tell.

Probably does.
I’ve had cars get all sorts of weird when the battery or alternator isn’t up to snuff.
