2015 Lincoln MKC

Engine not specified

2400 mi A/C - Heated seats not operating correctly Navigation & Sync system not operating well...glitches at times. 
4100 mi 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 
6300 mi A/c and heated seats not working properly. TSB has been done but resulted in only minor improvement

Rear tailgate wiper was ripped off in a car wash (most likely, dealer had to remove remainder of the rear wiper arm and install a new wiper arm and blade. I could not get the remainder of the old wiper arm off, and did not want to harm the wiper motor. 
25420 mi Infotainment system could not be updated anymore (needed to due to new phones) - shop cleared and reinstalled Sync software to the latest version. Sync mostly functioned OK but Siri hands free did not work anymore. 
27435 mi Infotainment system crashed - would not restart. Had 'fatal error' message. 
11000 mi The MKC was in for the 2nd Oil Change / Service and I've been having an issue with lift gate opening for no reason when it's parked - (without the key near the car) - typical the car acts fine at the dealership 
14000 mi The Embedded Modem had to be replaced during a recall and they checked the car for a lift gate issue - 
11000 mi Replaced modem. Really don't see any difference. Message (sent to phone) of low voltage doesn't clear. Car sat for a month so maybe voltage was low. Dealer checked it out afterwards and voltage normal but couldn't clear the message. 
16000 mi Driver side mirror rapidly cycles in and out of position when starting car. To stop motion (and accompanying banging noise) you need to manually adjust mirror. Happens 25% of time and dealer has been unable to replicate or duplicate problem. Other than that great car and very good dealer service.
