“The touch screen, infotainment system began to delaminate over a year ago and started experiencing phantom touches when the radio was on (station changes, playlist changes). This has gotten increasingly worse and the heat, AC, and backup camera now turning on and off, uncontrollably.”

“The A/C evaporator was leaking refrigerant. Have had issues 4 times already and have taken it to the dealership to have it repaired. The aspiration of refrigerant is dangerous. This began after one year of owning the vehicle at 8k miles.”

Should you keep driving it?

This page can't tell you that. 0 of 60 reports involved a crash. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.

File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation.
