3 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 06/28/2021

While driving with the headlights in the "auto" position, when a turn blinker is used the headlights will randomly turn off for about 10-15 seconds. Not much of an issue during the daytime but certainly a major safety concern at night. This problem can be replicated during the daytime by watch the dash lights switch from "auto" to "off" on the driver's dash. Moving the switch from the auto to on has no effect on the lights. This problem occurs about 30% of the time when using the turn signal.

4 Wiper problem

Failure Date: 02/17/2021

Engine burns up oil very quickly way before 3,000 miles and there are no alerts that the oil is low. Steering gets "stuck" at times for brief amounts of time and needs to be readjusted in the road. This happens on straight highways and in curve. Windshield wiper fluid function does not work.
