I was driving when the instrument cluster gauges started moving up and down like if the instrument cluster was making false contact with the connector to get a calibrated read on the speed, gasoline, temperature gauges

1. every time it rains outside I have a lake on the inside of the car, mainly on the passenger side in the back and in the trunk which is molding the carpet and items kept inside. 2. the back up light on the driver side doesn't work properly, due to the moisture. 3. the turn signal on the passenger side blinks really fast, and stays on on the inside of the car. 4. the turn signal on the driver side has to be manually turned off after turning left. 5. the steering wheel has locked on a steep turn resulting me going off road, luckily not hitting anyone. 6. headlights are very poor at night. 7. radio reception is getting worse. Stations that used to come in won't anymore. 8. car shakes at different speeds and at a light. 9. there is glare on the windsheild from dash that causes poor visibility in the day time.
