When getting inside of the vehicle, the consumer noticed that the steering wheel was placed towards the left of the vehicle and not in the center of the driver's side seat. The consumer contacted the dealership, however, the manufacturer had not contacted the consumer. The consumer suggested there was a difference in the leather versus fabric. The manufacturer confirmed that the alignment between the steering wheel and the drivers seat was not straight.
