The car was driving fine. I turned the car off and tried to start it back up. All the lights on the dash came on. The spoiler came up and the light for the spoiler to put it up manually was blinking. Put a new battery on it and it did the same thing.

How does the engine sound when you are cranking it over? This can be the timing chain let go, the fuel pump is out, or the crankshaft angle sensor stopped working, we will need more information to help you. Please go over this video to see if the easy stuff will fix it, and if not, you will have results that will help.

Also, we should run the codes to see if any are stored, which will help guide us in the right direction:
