Can Anyone Relate to These Issues?

Car doors freeze up and fail to close in cold weather. Once the door came open when I was driving. Of course, the dealer could find nothing wrong and suggested I just pull the doors tighter. (Yeah, you try to tug at the door to close for a good 15 minutes and see how you feel about it).
Sheet metal dents easily on doors.
Console is broken. It's so ugly...the plastic warped and cracked beyond repair. I assume it happened because of the intense heat in Texas. The price to fix it is more than what the car is worth.
The engine light stays on and nothing is wrong with the car. It's always "the computers" fault. 0_O This means I never know if I should hurry to the dealer or not.
The brakes never have held very well. When I ease down on the brakes I often feel like the car is not going to stop in time. Apparently nothing is ever wrong with the brakes.
The seats are very uncomfortable.
Very dim "bright" lights. Bad for seeing on back roads and on country roads.
The car is so lightweight. The winds often push me off the road causing me to have to drive at embarrassingly low speeds on the freeway.
The car hesitates when trying to accelerate on the highway/freeway. I feel like I'm pushing it too hard just to get it up to 50.
Because it's so low to the ground I hit the pavement often. That's just my own fault, tho. :-P
What issues do you have with your car?

sheet metal dents easy on doors. Man, that's been pissing me right the @#%$# off. up two five dents since buying in february. all from other cars opening doors.
no probs with the door sticking yet, but I'm just getting to cold weather.
The acceleration problem you are having can be corrected, though it's origin could be a variety of problems. Also, the braking issue could be due to worn or improperly adjusted/leaking rear shoes (assuming the pads have already been checked).
