I have 2 problems with my car. 1 started with in 18mos after driving it. The interior light would short out my car and I would have to get a jump. so I keep in the off position.2 the front drive tire has never been aligned right a wears thur tires at the rate of 2x per years. I have taken to a dealership but after sereal hours the where not able to help. I now have to keep jumper cables and hand help jumper box in the car as the short is now in the radio, a/c, heat, who knows why of what is the problem. and the front end is awful. any advise would be helpful.
