1 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 12/01/2024

I find replacing the light bulbs for head lights and brake lights and flood lights more often than any other cars I have owned. The steering wheel makes a noise when turning left. And a noise is getting louder not sure what it’s related to.

2 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 06/21/2017

When I put my car in park turn off the car my parking lights come on cant turn them off at switch have to disconnect my battery for fear my car wont start, also at dark while im driving I switch my lights to just the running lights my windshield wipers come on. No matter if my switch is on auto or off my lights still stay on. When I turn off the car and at times I cant get my key out of the ignition I have to wiggle the shiftier, and if that dose not work then I put my seat belt back on and push the lock and unlock button on my key fob. So with all of this I cant use the alarm nor the ability to unlock my door and to have my interior lights come on at night. This needs to be fixed because of the night time security features.

Im just writing because im getting alot of alerts from you guys and I dont live at the same address when I purchased my car. So im not getting my recall letters or notices. So what im woundering is what do I have to do to make sure my car is not being effective by theses recalls. Thank you and have a nice day.
