MY TURN SIGNAL WENT OUT AND WENT TO REPLACE IT AND DISCOVERED THE BULB WAS MELTED INTO THE SOCKET. (THIS HAPPENED THREE TIMES NOW, I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE. (IT MAY BE A FACTORY ELECTRICAL DESIGN FLUKE)ALSO IVE BEGAN TO LOSE GAS ANDVIT IS NOT REMAINING IN THE GAS TANK. IT HAS CAUSED MY GAS LIGHT TO COME ON. WHICH TRIGGERED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON AS WELL. THIS HAPPENED ON OR ABOUT 12/15/2020. THEN THE BEARINGS AN BEGAN TO SHAKE AND WOBBLE BADLY. FROM THE CONTAMINATES AMD SALTS. I AM REALLY HAVING DIFFICULTIES WITH MY VEHICLE AND IM IN MEED OF HELP BADLY. NOW AS OF 1/5/2021 MY CAR HAS STARTED TO FISH TAIL SHOWING THE SWAY BAR IS GIVING OUT
