2024 VINFAST VF 8 Electrical System Problems

The forward collision warning keeps faulting. The software sends incorrect errors and shuts off some of the safety features when doing so. The steering wheel is stuck in the 'exit' position, meaning it's retracted and in the highest position, making it difficult to maneuver. Various alarms randomly sound for no reason. The car has had multiple software updates and the problems remain persistent.

While accelerating onto a highway, several systems faulted including the high voltage and 12v systems, which apparently cause the vehicle to shift into neutral and get stuck in the neutral position (while still on the highway) Several safety systems on the vehicle (such as forward collision avoidance) constantly fault and then reset themselves as well.

One month into the lease, car had a coolant failure. The windshield defog is not working. Unable to heat windshield, so can’t safely drive car in the morning and night. Car went into a limp mode. The car is less of responsive to speed changes.
