    Ive had my VF8 for almost two months now and have been having problems with rear end squeeking and creaking at low speeds. It sounds as if its metal bending. Also, my cars steering wheel and mirror adjustments dont work anymore.

    The suspension noises started after I got my car washed during the first week and its gotten worse since. Ive reported the issues to vinfast but they say to keep driving the car until my appointment on the 21st of October but its quite annoying and embarrasing that a new car would sound this horrible.

     

    Im not entirely trusting of the vinfast reps. Each time ive called they say to drive the car and when I inquire if its a known issue they say there have been very few reports of the suspension noises.

    Anyone else experiencing unusual suspension and squeeking noises from their VF8

    Same with my 2023 VF8+ CE. When I first startup the rear squeaks and creaks at low speed. After I get going the sound does not return unless I turn off and back on the vehicle. I suspect it’s the parking break system. Software version is .16, I wonder if the .18 addresses this issue.

    It only happens to me when turning right for a few seconds and goes away. Not a big deal to me at the end of the day as put zero down and only pay about $200 a month to lease my plus vf8 for 3 years. Some people have told me that this only happens with the 2023 Plus models but I dont care. I have had the car now for over 2 month and no serious issues and I really love this car.

    My service center solved the creaking and squeaking issue coming from the passenger rear door area. They dropped the headliner, removed the sunroof and sunroof frame. Then, they put felt where any metal contact between the sunroof frame and vehicle. No further squeaking or creaking which was happened constantly on turns and bumps that put pressure or twist on the frame causing a creak.
