Default Major Tech Problems

I own a 1995 Cadillac Deville Concours. its been around. i went to college in 05-06 and drove that thing all around Redding, CA i wasnt too rough on it. i bought the car for 500 bucks it had 75,000 miles on it. my uncle took care of it for me regularly having the oil changed and what not. soon after it started having problems. first i chanegd the breaks (no big) then i had to change the water pump (expensive for a college kid) then the alternator and then one day when i was dtiving to work i went to turn into out parking lot and the wheel wouldnt turn all the lights on the dash were working the wheel wouldnt turn, break pedal wouldnt allow pressure to it, the gas wouldnt work, and the seats started moving forward all the sudden without me touching anything. i had to literally slam the car into this pole to make it stop and shut it off for it to stop. (slamming it didnt leave one mark haha) after work i went to re-start it and dirve it and it worked fine for about 2 miles then BAM it did it again i couldnt turn break pedal wouldnt work, gas....NOTHING! but it the screen was working fine and the seat moved forward again. its awful. i had the keys stolen shortly after that and triple A had to tow it down to chico to get it inspected and they havent told me whats wrong with it yet. anyone have any ideas?! it only has 98,000 miles on it. my grandma has a cadillac and she put damn near 150,000 miles on it. whats up?! any advice is welcome.

That vehicle has the electrical demons in it as some people would say.
