Referenced Service Bulletin 19-066 and dealership updated software at no charge. So far update seems to have fixed the issue. 
200 mi Automatic high beam system didn't work. Dealer corrected the problem. It had something to do with adding fuses during dealer prep while the engine was running. They put out a TSB on how to fix the problem, which they did. It was a matter of pulling a specific fuse, waiting a few minutes, and replacing it. I was at the dealer for about an hour and a half while they figured it out. Traffic did not work in navigation system. Head unit replaced to correct the problem

4000 mi The vehicle no longer will link to Android Auto app on phone. Also issue with automatic door locks. Update. This only took a reset. Disconnected battery for a few minutes. 
200 mi The automatic high beam function was not working. Car required a reboot to enable the function. 
11000 mi Infotainment intermittently won't boot with car start requiring car shut off/restarted. Had to complete a soft reboot because infotainment froze. Intermittent warning that power was lost has occurred. Dealer says problem too intermittent to fix. Hot soak fuel type smell occurs after vehicle fully warmed up, shut off for 5 to 45 minutes, restarted. Smell comes through ventilation and is noxious. In certain situations smell present during extended idle when vehicle fully warmed up. Dealer appointment was day temp was -26 air temp and of course I wasn't able to replicate and neither was dealer. Vehicle was remotely started. Within one minute of remote start I entered vehicle and depressed pedal and pushed start button taking vehicle out of remote start loop. I immediately exited vehicle with engine running and the doors locked as they are programmed to when I walk away with key. Upon return engine was running, doors locked but I was not able to unlock door with key fob. Warning on dash "keyless remote not detected". I had to find second key fob to unlock doors. After shutting engine off the first key fob worked again.

10000 mi Security system....I had a failing lock sensor that resulted in the security alarm triggering intermittently. In addition, the remote start, locking confirmation beep, and the 'walk away auto lock' feature stopped working. It turned out to that the sensor on my hood latch was failing resulting in the security system thinking the hood was open. Replaced under warranty.
