Ongoing Charging & System Issues with VF8 – Disappointed with the Experience

[Parmit Kumar]

I’ve been using the VinFast VF8 for more than 16 months , I have installed JuiceBox 40 Amp Level 2 home charger directly to circuit breaker. Unfortunately, my experience has been far from smooth, and I feel compelled to share it in hopes of finding support or solutions.

1. Charging Reliability Issues:
The most frustrating problem is with charging. The VF8 often stops charging automatically after only a 3–5% increase in battery level. I’ve had to reconnect the charger adapter 3–4 times overnight, almost every time I charge — leading to several sleepless nights. Despite a recent service visit to VinFast, the issue recurred the same day. I’ve tested the same JuiceBox charger with a Tesla, and it worked flawlessly. This strongly points to a compatibility or internal issue with the VF8, and it’s disappointing that there doesn’t seem to be a proper fix yet.

2. Tire Sensor & Lane Keep Issues:
On highway drives (30–40 miles), the tire sensors frequently report high pressure and temperature warnings. Simultaneously, the lane keeping assist system disengages, forcing manual control. This happens far too often and raises concerns about system reliability.

3. Frequent System Errors:
Almost every time I start the car, I see at least two different or similar error messages pop up on the screen. One common example is “Airbag System Fault.” These types of errors are concerning — especially when they involve critical safety systems.

I really wanted to enjoy this car and be a proud early adopter of VinFast’s EVs, but the constant issues have made ownership stressful. I’m hoping to hear from others with similar experiences or any updates from VinFast regarding real solutions.

Yes, once awhile, the App don’t work, my husband was at Electrify (located at Walmart with 10 charging stations) this morning and VinFast App showed “none available”, so my husband drove B of A Bank and it has 4 stations (2 being used & 2 opened) the 2 opened were not able to charge, he waited the one station left & he was able to charge, but when other people drove in to the other 2 & they were able to charge ??? Sure don’t know what happened.

We have 2 VF8, our other VF8 (no free charging incentive) use the VinFast Charger at home, so far it has been good & quick & easy.
