Bought New Volkswagen Taigun GT Plus 1.5 TSI DSG with ventilated seats (Red colour) on month back. Just finished 1000 km on the new car

What I hated: (and this is the main reason for posting this thread)
Attaching a video of what exactly happened.
Service centre response:
TPMS issue: TPMS failed to give any warning despite driving the car unintentionally on an almost flat tyre for at least ~1 km.
AC Noise: There is a strange hissing sound which is audible at low/cruising speed that comes only when the AC is on. I was told by the service centre that it is how it was designed and I am supposed to believe that it is "normal". An informal conversation later revealed that it is an issue with all the Taigun cars and there is no way to rectify it.
Driver side window: Drive side window behaves erratically and does not close as expected. It is also a known issue with all the Taiguns and the service centre has been waiting for a software fix for this for the last ~6 months at least.
I am very concerned about issue #1 as it means I have not been able to use my car as a primary car till now. It can stop anytime on the road and that does not inspire confidence at all.
I have been a proud VW Polo owner for almost 8 years and it was disappointing to see the QC done with Taigun. Maybe my model is an outlier but given the experience I would recommend everyone to stay away from VW till such issues are fixed.
