    Good morning I have had my car since March. It is a City Edition and if the techs can not figure out why the safety devices keep becoming unavailable in fog, rain, probably snow and when light hit cameras or sensors directly. I will try and start buyback process. This becomes a safety issue and possible a road hazard as if these systems shut off or maybe they just not working I do not know. I think 6mos is plenty of time for tech to get the systems working properly in those conditions so the safety feature do not shut off

    It’s the on off situation. However still a safety issue. Because if for some reason something we’re to happen and they are unavailable will Vinfast take liability as their safety systems were unavailable. I highly doubt it. This is the first vehicle where the rain, fog, sun, and snow will mess up the safety systems of the vehicle. I know techs are aware of issues but nothing so far has been done to remedy it.

      This VF8 was built on X5 platform and if all the sensory circuits were copied over, software manipulation will not fix the underlying issue permanently. This was a known issue on X3 and X5. You can go to BMW forums to find out more.

    Mine would come off when we drive into bright lights, fog or heavy rain. However, within a few mins it came back on since sensors arent blinded anymore with the case of bright lights (sunset/sunrise).

    If the sensors cant detect/see, it’s better for me to take control rather than trusting in the system that can fail.

    Sounds like yours come off regularly or just never work?
