Welcome to the Community @Ben03,
In recent years there have been a number of new-to-our-market cars from China. Anecdotal evidence is they are still ‘learning’ in the manner of early Japanese and then Korean car makers - with both the latter becoming respected market forces. Unfortunately the Chinese brands anecdotally still have inconsistent reputations for quality as well as service and support, case dependent.
Your best way forward is to assure all problems and complaints are made in writing following the ACL ‘Letter of Complaint’ template, delivered to your dealer (owner/director) and cc it to LDV. If you have not already and have only dealt with your dealer, try ringing LDV at 1800 709 832. Be factual and unfortunately you need to keep problems in perspective. Some of your list are annoyances but others might be considered safety issues that can be reported here. For example it is possible some warning lights could make your vehicle unroadworthy and thus not insured depending on how the fault relates to roadworthy requirements.
Unfortunately we do not have explicit Lemon Laws so vehicular issues are between the customer, dealer, and importer or in very few cases the manufacturer.
