Disappointed: Too many engine issues

Purchased @ 18k miles, liked it at first. Tech-wise it was a step up from my Ford Escape: BUT, it didn't have the pep, even with the turbo, it's weak. Cargo space is tiny. Then there's the mechanical and data transmission/electrical issues... Weird things started to happen pretty much from the get. I'd push the volume up button on the steering wheel and instead of the volume going up, the windshield wipers would swipe once. Sometimes, the wipers just randomly go on by themselves. Or, I'd try to turn the radio station and same thing. There were times the a/c didn't blow as cold as usual. Every now and then the radio volume goes in and out. The radio mute function never worked, radio off never worked - but after replacing the last battery (we've replaced it twice), suddenly they work. Replaced the battery and less than a year later it was drained again - replaced battery again. Kicker is can't figure it out since these are all sporadic occurrences so until it is a constant issue we are stuck dealing with it. Have already had to replace the water pump, oil filter cooler housing (that was a big job and apparently very common with these vehicles), vapor canister purge valve and coolant housing water outlet. WAY too many repairs for a car with such low mileage, never had this many issues with any of my Ford vehicles at this stage. Also, things break easily. The driver's side front seat side panel has come off, the clips that keep it attached have broken - it's still attached by the cables that run the buttons, but doesn't look pretty, other small things as well - CHEAPLY made. DISAPPOINTED for this price point!! Will never buy a Buick/GM again...EVER.
