navitasan… but are the original ones with commas correct or not?The second one could pass as grammatically correct, but not natural, in my opinion. The first would be correct if you changed the second "the" to "a": "the part of a car". This is still not very good because the following "that" could be momentarily mistaken to refer to "car".
