Wipers stopped working several times, failure was related to defective accessory control module. Dealer repaired under warranty. Dealer failed to perform service appropriately and vehicle was returned to me in unsafe condition.
Car didn't want to start on initial try, then started as if a low battery. Gauge cluster lit up nearly all warning lights, parking brake warning light stayed on, there was a warning that upon finding it in the manual, was to not drive the car at all.
Took it to dealer, they charged battery and performed systems checks. They said everything is fine, that the errors were related to a low voltage situation.
Car does not start if you don't drive the car at least every two days.
