Not exactly sure when but my 'passenger airbag off' light started to randomly appear and never turns off despite there being a passenger. Also my back seats would not latch closed, creating an unsafe riding time for a child in a booster seat. Which is a huge concern because I frequently provide rides for two young children my air conditioning unit becomes so hot that my feet are literally burning me. I end up taking my socks and shoes off due to how hot it gets. The motor for the engine is incredibly loud despite the small amount of miles. I have issues with accelerating from stop

The dash lights; brake, ABS, and traction control lights come on. The speedometer also does not work while driving. The gas gauge is going up and down and not showing the correct gas. The electrical appears to be malfunctioning, but the dealer has yet to recreate the issue. This has happened twice in a span of a week. Videos were taken both times it occurred on 5/14/19 and 5/20/19, but are too large to upload.
