I am literally clueless about what is going on and I really hope someone here knows what on earth is going on. So thanks!
Keep track of your visits and the time you're left without a car because it's at the shop. If they don;t resolve this to your satisfaction you want to have your information ready to make a lemon law claim.

I would expect them to be able to fix it though.
