My radio's lcd lighting is blurred and not properly lit with full digits. It blinks as though there is a short. It has been replaced 3 times already. The speakers also play inconsistantly even when balance is shown as equal setting. Cd's will skip for no reason. The car will not start on first attempt after driving for a period of time or if it is extremely hot outside. In traffic, the car wants to overheat. The needle will rise to warning mark and car runs rough. Sometimes a burning odor is detected. The left side front wheel sounds like metal on metal grinding. Car feels wobbly.
