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

2023 LDV Deliver 9 automatic step won't retract

This is either a sensor problem (that tells the car the door has closed and the step needs to retract) or a problem with the actuator that physically reels the step in. Either way, it's an obvious warranty claim.

If the car can't be driven (to the dealership) with the step extended, you could try holding the locking button on the remote for 30 seconds which will sometimes reset the vehicle's body computer and the car will revert to normal operation. Apart from that, arrange for the dealership to pick the vehicle up.

Can a dash-cam completely drain the battery in 18 months of use?

Every time you drive the car, the alternator should be keeping the battery fully charged. If you had the dash-cam switched on and recording for 18 months without driving the car, then, yes, it would definitely flatten the battery. However, it shouldn’t really pose any threat to the alternator.

It doesn’t really matter what’s draining the battery, be it a dash-cam or the headlights or the stereo system; if the car gets regular use, the alternator should be able to stay on top of things and keep the battery charged and in good health. This sounds more like your dealership blaming the dash-cam as the cause of a failed alternator, when the problem was possibly a dodgy alternator all along. 

Don’t accept nonsense like this. Take the car to an auto electrician and have the thing diagnosed properly. Then by-pass the dealership and contact LDV’s Australia customer service number. Your vehicle should still be under factory warranty, so make it LDV’s problem. And if the car’s alternator can’t support a dash-cam, then it’s probably not fit for purpose, at which point the ACCC and Australian Consumer Law might be interested.
