2000 TOYOTA CAMRY Suspension Problems

Driving lights and back up lights are not bright enough even when changing the bulb. The lights constantly dim while on. The front lights are always on no matter what time of day it is. The rear of the car sways dangerously if driving over anything smooth, bumpy, like a manhole. Or turning and running over a manhole.

I FOUND RECALLS OF MY CAR ABOUT EXTERIOR LIGHTING, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, AND REAR SUSPENSION. BUT I DON'T KNOW IF MY CAR GOT FIXED BEFORE SINCE IT WAS A SECOND-HAND CAR. WHAT SHOULD I DO NEXT?
