WTF is wrong with my car???

So I'm driving tonight on the highway and its raining like crazy! I have my wind shield wipers on the fastest speed. Then I hear a rattle on the right side of my car and it goes away. Then I feel and hear the rattle in the middle of my and center console. And that goes away and I keep driving. Later I turn on my car and the headlights come on but the switch is off. I move the **** and my headlights do not respond including my fogs and highbeams. The **** for my windshield wipers does not work at all either. Good thing I was only 2 min away from home. No wipers sucks. So can anyone tell mewhats wrong? I have 58,500 miles... Warranties almost gone

Wow bro... that's really messed up. I'd try to reset your ECU - but I'd go to the dealer first so there is a record of this problem so that if it occurs again after the expiration of your bumper-to-bumper warranty at 60K miles, then they'll still fix it as a previously diagnosed problem that wasn't correctly repaired.

Bring your car into the dealer and have it looked at prior to the warranty expiring.

If it was really raining hard, and your car really seems possessed, it could be water getting in through the seal in the firewall. If it dries out tomorrow and everything seems OK again, that's your problem. If it was really wet, it could take longer to dry.

some electrical things might have got wet and shorted. just bring it to the dealer and let them deal with it.

Sounds like your alternator may be fried. But I'm with everyone else on this one. Take it to the dealer.
