Consumer Description
I have had nothing but brake and suspension problems with my 2023 Vinfast VF8. The vehicle has been to the dealer on three occasions because of brake and suspension noises which prompted the dealer to replace the entire suspension system. However, my concern is with the vehicle's brakes. Under low speed turning with no brakes applied, the vehicle made a metal on metal grinding noise. The vehicle was in the dealer twice for this problem. The first time they put updated brake pads on the vehicle and let me know that the original pads were too thick. The problem continued and the vehicle was taken back to the dealer a little over two weeks ago for the same problem. This time they sanded the surface of the brake pads to avoid them from rubbing against the rotar. The tech at the dealer told me that he beleives the issue may be that the brake caliper does not open wide enough to allow the pad distance from the caliper. Their solution is to sand the pad down. One, is this safe, and two, what happens when the car needs new brake pads, is the dealer going to cover the cost to continually shave the pads down for the life of the vehicle.
