4 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 03/20/2020

So for some reason my airbag light will come on and off for a few weeks. When its on my high beams and dont work and when its off my high beams work. Then today , my car battery randomly died on me twice. It started shaking uncontrollably before then. I thought maybe I needed an oil change because I was close to due for one. When I got it they said my oil was fine and their system checked my battery as working fine too. Also when I try to step on my gas sometimes the car with skid before taking off. Im not sure if anyone else has these issues. I've only had this vehicle for 4 months and it's fairly new. It had one owner before me.

The tachometer and speedometer have a auto dim at night time . Can not read speedometer at dusk or dawn when driving under overhead led street lights that leave glare on windshield. Auto dimmer has no adjustment to brighten past certain brightness. Lights in other Ford vehicles work differently then Focus as bought 2017 escape and does not have this problem.
