First the vehicle shakes at highway speeds. It has a substantial steering wheel vibration. I had to get two separate wheel balances done to attempt to resolve the issue. Can’t really say if the issue is fully resolved now because both the 12v battery and high voltage battery have had issues or failures leading to a completely dead unusable vehicle. Car has been out of working order for 13 days now with no eta on when the issue will be resolved. All of this happened with less than 30 days of owning the vehicle.

Main display is black. Unable to see speedometer, battery status, turning signals, etc. Car is 72% charged but display will not turn on. It appears to be happening to several EV9 in these past weeks. Possible software update issues.
