Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The back turn signal, back lights and front low beams continue to burn out. They have been replaced multiple times by professionals and continue to blow. I would guess there is a short some place. Recently the right low beam headlight went out, had it replaced and it blew fuses. Once the fuses and relay switch had been replaced the left low beam light will work if the right one is disconnected. I have come across multiple complaints about this, i contacted the dealer and they claim this is not a common issue, and want $115 to run test. Also the blower motor for the heat/air makes lots of noise and i was told that is just the way it is, i know that's not true. When its cold out the car makes lots of squeaking noise and i was also advised that's is "normal". I purchased the car new in 2008 i have approx 67,800 miles and have had to replace the tires 3 times.
