What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water pump defective twice.

Defective horn.
Condensation in the turn signal unit.
General comments?
Even after replacing brake pads and fitting an underbody spoiler, to channel water away from the brakes, the brakes still lose their grip in certain winter conditions.
