Default 2014 ES350 werid electrical issues

Hi I purchased a 2014 Lexus es350 in February this year, for the first 2 months of owning the car it worked perfectly fine. Now I am having a headache of electrical issues. While I'm driving the vehicle, randomly my hood open sensor starts going off, other werid issues when I turn my left turn signal on my hood open sensor goes off, same with my wipers. While I'm driving if the sensor starts giving me a warning if im at a dead stop in drive, my car won't go into gear and the engine just starts revving as if I were in neutral. If turn my high beams on my engine will shut off and I need to turn my head lights off completely or the car won't start again, I took my car into the dealership and it seems like the technicians didn't know what was wrong with the car. Can anyone help me please?

Check all fuses, with a meter.

Hi I believe the electrical ground was near the front left tire, the tech told me he had to take off the front left tire to access it
