Default 2006 beetle falling apart

So the 50,ooo mile warranty is about 800 miles from expiring
Have had problems with the car probably a few months after buying it in Feb. 06 last three problems have occurred just in the last 2 months

1st Common rear hatch not opening motor has been replaced 4 times.

2nd the radio was not working would have to shut it off then turn back on.

3rd Valve cover blew out and was leaking oil.

4th rear main seal was leaking and had to be replaced.

5th a pump in the transmission went out.

6th actually happened today. The car wouldn't start and they had to replace the alternator and battery.

Anyone else had similar problems?

We have the trunk latch problem - they have replaced it , adjusted it, etc. It will pop, but I cannot open it until multiple pops

The radio comes on, links, but no sound, then we power it off and it is fine

BTW we have a 2007 2.5
