Default 35K and so many annoying problems, what can I do?

My car is only 17 mo.s old and has 35k miles on it and here is the laundry list of problems:

3.0 QMS Prem, Cold, Bose

Steering wheel controls didn't work at delivery. Dealer Replaced Steering Wheel.

Immobilizer malfunctioned at 20k, they reprogrammed keys.

25k at 20k service dealer puts sticker on my window saying change oil at 25k, i go in and they say they won't pay for it. I'm like, ok, you put a sticker on my window saying change in 5k, but then tell me i don't need it. Also, dealer is an hour from where i live, lost time and no oil change.

At 31k steering problems, turns out power steering fluid is bone dry, right after service. They refill but steering feels grainy at low speed.

32k ESP button is peeling horribly, dealer says they will order and give me a call. still no call

33k Fuel pump fails while driving. Lose power, sttering, and breaks at speed in the middle of nowhere. flatbedded to dealer and they replace fuel pump. I ask dealer about oil changes at 5k and they say they won't pay for it, only 10k. I ask if they use synthetic and they say no, so i pay for synthetic oil change.

34k Immobilizer acting up again. One key won't work at all, the other works intermittently. Taking into dealer this week.

35k, last night, memory seats aren't working. Going to have dealer fix this week also.

Nothing catastrophic has happened, but all the little stuff adds up. What can I do? Are the electrical problems related? Should I hurry and get a new car. Extended warranty? Tell the dealer to get their crap together? Thanks for your help.

Default my list has you beat, but that said you should be able to reset your keys yourself.

Check the manual.

Tell the dealer to get their crap together, or if possible, go to another one.
