2007 Chevrolet Tahoe visibility complaints

We took our vehicle to the dealer for a 3rd time now (look for my other complaint on this website on electrical problems/windshield problems) for the same problem plus a number of multiple other problems. The problem that the dealer can't seem to remedy is the windshield wipers and wiper spray keep coming on all by themselves and cannot be turned off unless you turn the vehicle off and then restart it. They've replaced the windshield wiper module but they still come on randomly. The heated seats sometimes don't work and in order to get them to work you must restart the car. The front passenger window will randomly not roll up or down from the drivers side master switch and will only start working after restarting the vehicle. When I took my car to get serviced (oil change) the mechanic noticed several leaks under the vehicle, one coming from the engine bell housing another from the rack and pinion area and the third from the power steering pump housing area. When we took it to the dealer they cleaned the engine pan (I have before pictures) and added an engine dye and they stated they found no leaks, we'll check it again after a few hundred miles. They also cleaned up the other leaks from the other areas and claimed no leaks. Our mechanic also noticed while rotating the tires that the front right rotors were deeply grooved which answers my question as to why my brakes have been squeaking. He says that with only 10,000 miles it is not normal for them to be grooved, and is definitely a defect with the calipers probably sticking. Showed the dealer and the service writer stated it was normal, that cannot be normal. So now they resurfaced the rotor and the brakes are still squeaking. After bringing my vehicle home from the dealer for repairs the car locked "itself" I did not lock it, the car keys were not even in my hands anymore they were hanging on the key rack. There are definitely some major electrical problems and mechanical problems with this vehicle.
Several problems with new 2007 tahoe, including recall HVAC, replace dvd, replace radio, vibrating left driver's mirror, back door molding, repaired passenger door power locks...however, main and irreparable issue is the poor fm & xm radio reception which fades in and out while driving.
Our first incident occurred 2 weeks after we purchased our 2007 tahoe ltz on march 17,2006 the heated seats didn't work unless we restarted the vehicle this happened twice and never again so we thought it was a fluke. Second malfunction/incident was. I started the vehicle and the windshield wipers came on by themselves and I could not shut them off until I restarted the vehicle. The third incident was the same as the second...this time I was driving on the fwy and the wipers and wiper fluid came on again, I could not shut them off until I exited the fwy and restarted the vehicle. We took it to the dealer aug 23, 2006 and explained all the malfunctions that had occurred thus far they could not find nor duplicate the heated seat problem but they did find that the windshield wiper module needed to be replaced, so they ordered it. Forward to today sept 8, 2006 I was again driving on the fwy when my xm radio went out completely I thought it was just a problem with the satellite so as soon as I exited the fwy I restarted the vehicle but this time all of the instrument panel, radio and onstar services were completely dead! No service at all! I called the dealer and they want me to take it in so that they can check it out yet again, and install the wiper module we were waiting on. This is just ridiculous, being that we did not pay chump change for this tahoe for that kind of money it should be a very reliable vehicle! I am not going to be having to take a $50,000 vehicle to the shop every other month for malfunctions...what a complete inconvenience this is!! And from what I see this is definitely not the first incident of this kind. I see people are having similar computer malfunctions as well!
Dt*: the contact stated a letter was received from the manufacturer that instructed the side view mirrors should be folded in at speeds over 30 MPH and not used. The manufacturer was contacted and stated the repair was delayed, because a remedy was not currently available.
