So my daughter told me a light came one and sent me a picture. It looks like the service engine soon, battery, and oil light all came on at the same time. When I started the car, there were no lights on. No service engine/check engine, no battery, no oil. Has anyone encountered this before?

Did she take the pic with the car stalled? If so, those are just self-test lamps with key-on-engine-stopped. If it stalled due to an actual problem, there should be "past" DTC's recorded in the ECM.

It did not stall. She went somewhere and when she started it again, the lights were gone. I checked again and started it up, and it started fine, no lights.

Check for codes, then. Sounds like maybe the cluster lost contact with the rest of the car. There's not much else that could explain simultaneous, MIL, oil and gen lights.
