Exterior Lighting problem #1

1. Ignition system: while driving the key in the ignition lock came out loose! exremely frightened and managed to pull the car over to a driveway. But, the car could not be stoped using the key fob. Key will not work to stop the engine. Very unusual and unexpected incidence. 2. Lighting system switch: suddenly the knob of the light switch came out loose with a plastic shaft and will not turn on the light. Very unsafe while driving and it became dark due to storm and rain, and I wanted to turn the headlights for safety. I beleive it is a manufaturing defect and causes severe safety issue.

Headlights problem #2

Head light gather water which causes dim head lighting . Coiled go out at anytime while driving. Lots of condensation on the hid headlights.
