The dealer appears to be attempting to fix your problems so you really have to persist with that course of action a little longer I would suggest.

If that doesn't resolve your issues enlist the help of the consumer affairs department of your state government.

Under the Australian Consumer Law introduced in January 2011, a consumer can request a refund or a replacement for persistent problems if the car doesn’t do the job it’s supposed to do.
