2015 Ford Escape 4dr SUV

turbocharged 240hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD

6000 mi Battery failed after 12 months since purchase new. 
6000 mi The heat sent only to the floor is feeble. When the fan ispeed s brought to 50%, there is lots of noise in the dashboard. The noise makes me think that a piece of ductwork has become dislodged. Air directed to dash and windshield is fine. The AM HD audio changes tone and seems to loose HD lock. In the NY metro area that is not acceptable. The audio quality changes and I find myself listening to the quality of the audio and not the content. The dealer disabled AM HD for me.
