Thanks Everyone,
I'm in Australia not the USA, hence the reason for asking if the problems were mainly confined to the USA.

I have a dealer about an hour away, so I'd be picking up.

Thanks Steve & George, sounds like someone has mishandled the faulty ones prior to the owners receiving them, rather than any manufacturing problems etc.

Makes me feel way more confident.

best wishes
Rikki
