The car has been in the dealers hands for 6 weeks. They have all but said this a recurring problem with this model. They have told us for 2 weeks that the part is being shipped. We have yet to receive word of that actually happening. This seems to be a tremendous problem, virtually unheard of in my 40 years of driving experience. Thanks dmf. No safety defect listed within summary. *ak
