2 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 12/20/2015

The Chevrolet Impala I own has had major problems about a month after I bought the car. . . . The whole electrical area in the front has went haywire on me. . . . I cannot signal, or turn my bright lights on at any time. . . . Plus, it will not start for me when I need it to, I always have to get a jump from someone, & that even takes between 10-20 minutes. . . . The place that I bought it from, the repairmen cannot fix it right for me, it is not fair to pay all this money for my car, which will not work right. . . I have not been able to use my signals for a very long time now, it is very, very frustrating to me. . . . I have been stranded on the streets, the highway, even at work after my shift, it has even stopped on me while taking my kids to & from school. . . .
