I have been having problems with (what I think) some part

I have been having problems with (what I think) some part of the electrical panel. Initially, the driver's side LED light went out along with the reverse camera. I replaced this light (very expensive) and also the battery! Needless to say, it went out again! I am so disheartened! I have called the dealer...I know of 2 other people who also had trouble with electrical system. I need help....

My sweet Toyota Corolla S. !!

This particular 2016 Corolla S we bought used in December 2021 and so far so good. I had a small Toyota pickup back in the mid 1980’s and it was awesome!!!
