At night I can't see out my window it's very dark and my headlights are very dim making it very hard to see at night. I have to put my high beams on to see. Also my strong is hard to turn when I'm trying to reverse or park but sometimes it's fine like their isn't anything wrong and when I'm when I'm driving it's fine. My horn and everything on my steering wheel stopped working all of a sudden. I went to my car in the morning to turn it on and my heated steering wouldn't work the cruise control no buttons worked plus my horn. On top of that I had my car re alligned because it kept feeling wobbly and it didn't work.
