Locks, windows and hatchback all quick working correctly. You have to manually unlock all doors after you unlock driver door with the key. Only driver window button works, you have to open hatchback by climbing in the back to open with emergency latch behind interior panel. Key phob doesn't work at all with or with out a new battery.

My touch screen (navigation/radio/etc) does not light up when the weather gets too cold. The screen has a back lighting but is completely black. The radio works and I am able to change channels. When I touch the black screen, I can tell that it is controlling it because if I hit the right spot, the channel will change. I have taken it to the dealership twice for repair. The first time it was a warm day and the dealer wasn't able to find an issue. The second time, they told me the screen was obviously dead and I would need to replace it at a cost of $600. One week later after I had been driving it for several hours, the screen turned back on so it obviously is still operable. I haven't had it turn on again since. I found a tsb that I believe may address the problem - tsb #14-01-031-1. NHTSA id #10060593.
