2016 Jeep Renegade 4dr SUV

turbocharged 160hp 1.4L I4 6-speed manual AWD

Seat heaters not getting warm. Seat heaters were fixed by replacing the elements. Still not very warm, but at least we can can tell they're working now. 
9000 mi Various problems, all electrical. Weird warning lights and codes. As well as other odd functioning switch logic (including seat/steering wheel heater switches which were sometimes non responsive, and heaters were either on or off according to their state at startup), sometimes unresponsive radio, Bluetooth or other systems, and a buzz in stereo when lights were turned on. Replaced radio head unit which is also a computer. The head unit fixed some of this, but now there are new codes and the buzz and still some unresponsive switches. It will be going back again at some point soon. 
33000 mi Battery had a cold start problem. It tested bad and was replaced under warranty.
