Leaving home lights did not work reliably. Fixed by dashboard firmware update.

Navigation failed once and told me I did not have a license. Also USB did not work. System started working after that. Nevertheless took the car to the garage and they suspected it was a firmware issue so they updated the firmware. Problem has not returned since. It also seems that the car runs more quiet now. Weird that the dealer where I got the car did not update all firmware before I picked it up.
Navigation panel home button (middle, hard button) would not depress.

The infotainment system frequently resets itself when outside temperatures are 20f or lower. This continues until the car has warmed up for about 20-25 minutes. Repair costs based upon replacing infotainment system myself. Dealer cost to do the work is higher.
