    As long as they are resolving the issues, then all is good.

    You'll have to sell it and take the depreciation.

    But think carefully about it - you've had two minor issues with a new car, and pretty much all new cars have some issues (I recently saw a £60,000 62-reg sports car being loaded onto a trailer after failing to start). You might now get five years of trouble free motoring.
