People park the car because they think driving it weakens the claim. It usually doesn't.
If the vehicle's defect affects brakes, steering, stalling, airbags, or anything else that could put you or others at risk, stop driving it. Otherwise, you can keep using it. The mileage offset is calculated on the miles you drove before your first repair attempt for that defect, so the ones you add while the manufacturer is failing to fix the car aren't quietly working against you.
What does matter is the paperwork. Keep every repair order, and keep going back to the dealer when the problem returns.
