I suggest you call a lawyer.
There are US laws that dictate to car manufacturers/dealers that they keep
a certain level of parts stocking in the system.
If they can't service a brand new car I think you may have a strong case
fro a replacement vehicle.

Last fall a friend of mine in California with a Volkswagen Passat had the
same issue with front suspension parts needed due to an accident, and after
a letter or two from the lawyer Volkswagen US funded my friend for a rental
car at their expense. While it was not another Passat, it was a Honda
Odyssey, which are not exactly bottom of the barrel..
