Experiencing vibration and technical issues in my 2023 LDV Deliver 9's steering wheel

Asked by Sonja

Why does my brand new 2023 LDV Deliver 9 van with only 16km (just picked up from the dealership) have a steering wheel that vibrates when hitting 95km/h, and why can't I set volume control or cruise control from the steering wheel?

The bigger question is why you didn't just turn around and drive straight back to the dealership. A brand-new car like this should not have any of these problems, and it's a sad comment on the attention to detail (or lack of it) demonstrated by the dealership that pre-delivered the vehicle when all these things should have been checked. Let's not forget, this is what the dealer delivery charge is supposed to sort out.

The steering wobble is possibly a wheel with a missing balancing weight, particularly as it only appears at a particular road speed. But the steering wheel button issue could be a fault with the wheel itself, the on-board body computer that controls all this stuff or even the software that drives it.

Straight back to the dealer and don't take "they all do that" for an answer.
