Description of the problem	Headlights, brake light, interior light, radio, have all failed multiple times. I replace headlights and break lights every three months. I have had both headlights go out, one before i could get the other fixed. None of the dome lights work, i have no automatic lighting in the car. They dim based on weather and the terrain i am driving on. The radio went out shortly after i bought it, and the same thing happened shortly after. Sometimes it works and sometimes the car has to be running for a while before it will work. So many problems.
