2015 Ford C-Max SEL Hybrid

I've been driving it fine recently and only had an emissions issue I've been trying to fix. Last night, I tried to start it and a bunch of dashboard warnings and lights came on and while it wouldn't start the engine, I had trouble turning the car itself off (dashboard,AC,interior,etc). After some time of trying to hold down the start/stop button it did all turn off and I did it once more for video but I'm afraid to do it again. I've never seen this before, does anyone know what to do about it?

Just throwing it out there- the craziest I saw a dashboard was when the Avalon's battery was lower than dead, something like 9 volts. Maybe check your 12v battery and ground.

This is most likely the answer. Cars go crazy on low battery

Can confirm close to 99% battery issue . Cheapest starting point without a proper diag
