Tbh, no idea (much like VX from your post).
Clearly massive electrical failings; given the number of systems that have gone I'd be inclined towards a short somewhere.
The regulator on the alternator could be faulty, putting too much charge into the car. This would gradually "blow" various electrical systems. However, the over-charging this causes usually knackers the battery very quickly, and that seems to be one fault you've not experienced.
As they claim to have covered reasonable mileage in the car I think you'll have to take it back from them. However, you've clearly been very patient and allowed them ample opportunities to correct faults. So if you do take it back I would be trying very hard to negotiate it is on the provision that if it experiences anymore faults then you want a new car (or your money back if you've lost faith in the Antara as a platform).
I know you're just over a year old, but I'd think you'd have reasonable grounds to argue it's "not fit for purpose". However, getting VX to agree with this will probably be difficult and could involve court proceedings, probbaly county court as the value of the car would be greater than what I believe you can pursue through small claims.
May well be worth sounding out trading standards, citizens advice and/or a solicitor.
