Lightbulb Compare problems - Wiper function? 2004 Coupe

Good day all.

Just wondered if anyone can match the following deficiencies in their car and if there are any other suggestions for action?
Also; any more problems I should keep an eye out for as it appears my car must have been made in the middle of Oktoberfest?

Lastly; does the wiper motor function in conjunction with the speed of the car? Stop as vehicle stops?

Here's my list of things to be mindful of:

Driver Head Light 'fogged' - Result – dealership ordered only the ‘seal’ for replacement when the issue was the entire light unit.

Wiring 'short' resulted in passenger turn signals (front and back) to remain illuminated and constant draw on battery – kills it twice.

Replace Battery

Traction control not functioning – light flickered Result – corrected problem and identified as a result of previous deficiencies – I waited 1.5 hours while technician investigated issue and learned of how to “re-set” the system.

Broken spring sound in driver seat (6 months) - Finally diagnosed by technicians however; Service Manager indicated that while the deficiency has been identified, they have no solution to correct it. AWAITING DC DIRECTION.

Radio – replaced once as unit had started scanning through preprogrammed stations.
2nd Radio – AM reception excessive static & replacement unit has begun to ‘reprogram’ itself as original unit.

Heated Seats replaced 3 times – 2x Driver and 1 time passenger seat.

Cigarette lighter functions after 3rd repair/replacement.

Rear spoiler remained engaged *motor was replaced as a result of a ‘code’ technicians finally identify however; can not identify the cause.

Head light required (burn out after 8 months).

Scratch to interior door ‘grab’ handle– caused by dealership.

Paint chip to rear hatch area – caused by dealership.
