1 year owner of 2003 mini cooper

Hi everyone, been lurking the forums for half a year now and decided to make an account. I have a 2003 red mini cooper a/t. I got it in April 2014 with 65k miles on it, 1 previous owner.
I have had nothing but trouble with the car

2 months into ownership the car was randomly vandalized. The hood, windshield, side mirrors, pretty much everything was smashed in by a huge brick by some drugged up guy. Nothing was even stolen.

Transmission died
A/C stopped blowing out cold air
windshield keeps fogging up
hood/trunk warning light is always on
oil pan is leaking oil
steering wheel seizes from time to time (mostly in reverse)
glove compartment opens all the time even with something in the hook area
constant buzzing from drivers side door panel
steering wheel and rear of the car vibrates when i stop at lights
water comes out of the trunk door trimming when i open it after rain

Luckily, when the car was bought I also bought warranty so the transmission was replaced. I'm not sure how the dealership missed the leaking oil pan but its covered by warranty.

Unfortunately, all other problems are not covered.
