Keep in mind that your dealer seems to be handling this issue
adequately. I wouldn't take it out on them. Unless there is another

Yes, my dealer is being pretty responsible. I'm happy with them with

their not replacing the driveshaft after the first failure.
It'd be the parent corporation that I'd start on.
