Repairs EU parts

The police turned up to check on me after my car had triggered 3 calls to the emergency call centre. The car had not been used for several days so obviously it was a fault. I took it to the local dealer and they diagnosed a corroded SOS switch in the overhead panel. How this has happened when the car is only 6 months old and the switch is internal to the vehicle is a mystery.
The dealer has had to order the switch from Germany. 3 weeks on and they haven’t got it yet.
I also reported several other issues to the dealer that have appeared here in other threads.
I have had the indicator chime problem on left turns.
The car now will only start in hybrid mode and always starts the ICE. It then runs for around 1 minute using the rear wheel electric motor then switches to ICE driving the front wheels using the gears. It doesn’t use the start stop at all.
The Dealer says all this will be fixed when the switch is fitted and they also do some software upgrades at the same time.
I LIVE IN HOPE!!!!
