A/c - Heated Seats not operating correctly. TSB was issued well before I bought the car. Barely any air comes out of rear vents. Dealer instructs me to close off all front vents which pushes all available air to the rear vents. Unfortunately this stops air from going to the front passengers. Very poor design! Gas gauge operates erratically making it difficult to tell how much gas is truly in the tank

A/c and heated seats not working properly. TSB has been done but resulted in only minor improvement
