1 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 07/15/2025

Srs light came on 2 months ago. Fear for my safety. Recall please. Electrical. Back rt window and rt front door lock cannot be operated from front driver door. Lighting. Back interior light does not turn off automatically. Paint is peeling from all over the car, especially on the front of it. Looks ghastly.

2 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 08/12/2021

Lowbeams went out when I got off work but highneams were working. I bought new bulbs the next day and the problem unchanged. So I checked all fuses and relays those were all fine. I proceeded to remove the steering column cover and disconnected the connectors and the gray one had what looks like rust and or melted. This is very alarming because until I can replace the connector I have to drive home at nights with high beams. This may cause an accident and or me getting pulled over for having highbeams on. I do have a picture of said connector I took today 8/16/21.
