Vehicle burns out blinker bulbs and headlights at an extremely accelerated rate: one a month. Additionally, the wiring harness is heated to the point of being melted. This is a fire hazard. I believe this may be a voltage regulation or ground issue.

The air bag just came on a couple days ago . It hasn't been in an accident or anything. The suspension is rough when driving over the smallest thing in the road. Sometimes it just makes a little jump when it tasked gas.
