2 Exterior Lighting problem of the 2009 Smart Fortwo

Failure Date: 08/29/2018

Electrical fuses tend to cause electrical shorts, with a/c coming on and off at any given time, often when I hit speed bumps. The lights can be caused by this as well hitting the simple right corner turn can pop the light right out. I have repeatedly told them that it needs better shocks. I have replaced the lights both front and back at a very minimum of 12 times a year. That's ridiculous in my eyes. It should be Smarter than that!!!!.
