Basically, everything stopped working at once except for power door locks, door courtesy lights, hazards, and flashing security light on dash. No headlights, blinkers, taillights back up, brake lights, no radio, no wipers, no power windows, no dash lights no gauges no meters no temperature, no clock, no dome no vanity lights, no horn, no lighter, no front or rear A/C or heater, no sunroof, no rear window and so on. Car starts, runs, drives and shifts as it should but recently feels a little hesitant at random times. Almost like sputters between 20 MPH to 40 MPH..

It sounds like the ignition switch went out but to be sure let's check for power at the 2, 3 and 6 terminal numbers at the switch, this guide can help:

Test with the key on, if you don't get power the switch is the location of the switch and how to replace it. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
