The windshield has a defect on the right hand side. It seems like blurry waves. I noticed it because I got nervous thinking that there were cars riding next to me very close but it is just a glare from the defect.
Steering feels slightly loose and keeps drifting to the left. When I have people in the backseat and I take off from a stop, the vehicle swerves to the left. Hoping the dealership will do an alignment when I take it in.

There are 2 big and long distortions in the windshield that effect the view. Viewing out of the windshield is hindered by causing objects to look distorted and different than reality. There is one on the right and left side of the windshield effecting the view of both sides.

Was driving down the road with a sudden loss of power to the infotainment system plus dashboard resulting in all black and being unable to see your speed/turn signals. The steering wheel lights suddenly flashed then shut off and won’t turn back on.
After I engage the right turn signal and complete a right turn, it occasionally bounces the turn signal back too hard and then the "soft" (not fully clicked in) and lights up my left signal about three times. This has happened multiple times since we leased it in early September.
