2015 Ford Fusion Lighting Problems

One night my car was completely off. The key wasn’t in the ignition and I woke up in the middle of the night and my back brick lights were on. And the next day I couldn’t start my car. I’m not sure if it drained my battery and I had to buy a new battery.

2015 FORD FUSION SE. THE PASSENGER SIDE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT BULB WAS OUT AROUND 1 NOVEMBER, 2019. THE FORD DEALER REPLACED IT ON 11/14/2019 AND OFFERED TO REPLACE THE DRIVER SIDE LIGHT AT THE SAME TIME, BECAUSE IT IS EXPENSIVE TO TAKE THE FRONT BUMPER OFF TO DO THE JOB ($210 LABOR PLUS $35 FOR THE LIGHT AND $29 FOR ADD'L SHOP SUPPLIES.). HE INDICATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE BULB WOULD PROBABLY BURN OUT SOON. I DENIED THE CHANGE; I THOUGHT IT WAS A RIPOFF. TURNS OUT HE WAS RIGHT BUT WHY DOES THE LIGHT BURN OUT AT ALL. THE PASSENGER SIDE BULB WAS OUT LESS THAN 5 YEARS AFTER I BOUGHT IT. SEEMS THEY COULD DESIGN A LIGHT THAT WOULD LAST FOREVER, NO? I REALIZE THESE ARE THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS AND THEY ARE ON WHENEVER THE CAR IS ON IF YOU USE THE RIGHT SETTING, BUT IT SEEMS THEY DESIGNED IN OBSOLESCENCE,

In August 2019 I reported to Ford that the brake lights were staying on all the time even when the car was shut off. I was still able to drive my car (Ford Fusion Hybrid 2015) to the Ford Dealer Ship in Sarasota. I was told they have to keep the car because it's a danger and not legal to drive with that kind of defect of my brake lights. I had to pay $ 1115.24 for the repair of the car . Ford had to replace the brake pedal assembly. My car was in the shop for a month. They also replaced the steering wheel bolt which was a recall 18S08. In my opinion I paid for a repair that is now a recall. Will I be able to get my money back and a compensation for not having a car for 1 month provided we are talking here about the same issue?
