On saturday 11/21/2020 the driver side door kept saying door was open when it was entirely closed. Later on that morning, the passenger seat had cold AC while the rest of the car was throwing hot air on it's own.

Had to replace the engine oil pressure sensor multiple times and it still goes off randomly while driving and fix itself. …”
