2009 Toyota Highlander Electrical system Problems

“Recent trouble with electrical rear door hatch closing properly. My ongoing problem is at least 4+ years that nobody hears me.

Car turned off and was able to turn back on, now with illuminated check engine light and check hybrid system warning light illuminated.
