Steering wheel feeling like detached

Hi everyone! The car is fantastic, but when it goes over bumps, the steering wheel feels like it’s going to detach. Does anyone else have a similar experience, or is it limited to my car? It feels loose, but there is no visible evidence of anything being wrong.

Edit: car is MY26

I just took delivery of my MY26 - it’s an amazing car, but the entire experience has been soured by several issues I’ve identified. I am uncertain whether these are manufacturing defects or if they were caused by the dealer. I will focus on the two main issues discovered during the sign-off and one found shortly after:

  • Paint swirling, scratches, and strange paint patches that cannot be cleaned.
  • A dent in the wood trim on the dashboard.
  • A ripped Nordico ventilated seat.

I simply cannot believe that a car worth 100k euro is in such a state, and I highly doubt it left the factory in this condition.

I hope its not a quality issue but just some random person who was too lazy to do his job properly.
