Intermittent no power issue
Hi all, I got a new to me 2009 G550 a couple of months ago. I'm having an issue where it intermittently acts like the battery is dead and gets no power, can't turn the key, doors wont open, key fob won't work, etc. It has happened twice now and last time it came back to life on its own. The engine had not struggled to turn over previously and the battery was purchased new last year so I would be surprised if it is dead. Any ideas what may cause this?
Of note, I'm also having the shifting issue where at times I'm not able to change out of Park and I have to use a ballpoint pen to override it.
Thank you for any advice.

Are you getting a TC in Neutral warning?
