I test drove the new DBS yesterday and the same thing happened to the volume.

Definitely a problem and the unit needed to be replaced.

This won't prevent me from buying one.... just very annoying.

What a car! So beautiful!

I want to get the DBS Superleggera. Do you know of any issues with the stereo?
my dealer gave me a demo car to use, and the loved the car. While driving the demo car there was an issue with the stereo. The volume with increase to max volume on its own. When you turn it down, it would keep increasing to max on its own.
I called the dealer and told him about the issue. He said, he’d only heard of that happening once with another car, and that we would look into with the demo.
I loved the car so much, that I decided to take the leap and get one.
I was getting a Satin Xenon Grey one, with Alcantara seats. Car is sweet!
I go to the dealership to take delivery of the car...signed all of the paperwork, gave them the money, everything.
my sales guy is walking me they the car and showing me how everything works. He gets to the stereo, and slides his finger across the volume control, and the stereo goes out and stops working. Then, none of the buttons (media, radio, etc) are working. Then we turned the car off, and restarted it. The radio comes back on, but starts increasing to max volume on its on. Turned it down, and was it keeps increasing.
I then told the salesman to void the sell, and I would not be taking delivery that day.
I thought is was quite odd that the same stereo issue existed in the demo car, and the new car!
he called me a couple days later and told me they fixed the issue.
I’ve been out of town, so I haven’t gone back to the dealership.
i do want to purchase a DBS.
have any of you heard of this issue with the 2019 DBS?

I would appreciate any input you might have.

I apologize for the lengthy post!

all DB11 and DBS Superleggera have this problem, centre console haptic controls are at fault. I have had this problem with db11 and dbs. Aston Martin and all dealers know this, if they say otherwise they are lying!
these problems present more often on warm/sunny days. I have had to turn off infotainment system for up to a week at a time because of the volume issue. Sometimes will not turn back on. It affects all haptic buttons on centre console, not just volume.

If you are getting one...get it within 3 year warranty...no fear.
Alternatively, get one with 1st year extended warranty included.
The car is awesome. 23000 miles and counting.
Thanks,
JH
