HDDP, interesting idea on the driver only/no passenger phenomenon. That was quite possibly a factor though I'm convinced dealer error was another.

I agree with you that I should be mad at the dealer not the car. I am in fact mad at the dealer, not the car. I love the car and that's why I'm trying to take care of it. Had some bad experiences with the chain tire stores aligning it, so wrongly thought the dealer would take care of it - like you said my mistake. Now for everything I'll drive 150 miles to the guy I trust in Delaware - can't deal with the stealerships or the chain tire stores and know no independent mechanics closer to me.
