Sorry to hear your misfortune. Its what we all hope to avoid. In the past I have been in similar spots. I never received any cash payments, but there are other ways a dealer can established good will. Remember your dealer is not negligent since they cannot obtain the parts.
In my case the upgraded the loaner & provided exemplary service on future visits. It became pretty routine for the operations manager to approach me before getting in line, taking my service request and then getting me a loaner. I think they were so accomodating since I was a repeat customer & they understood the frustration of the first year gremlins.
I defintely believe you will get better treatment over the long-haul with honey versus an aggresisive approach. I highly doubt they are going provide you cash. If you are adamant about being compensated, I think the dealer would be more apt to provide services, something of value or their cost, but without taking a financial hit.
