OUR VINFAST BRICKED AND LEFT ME STRANDED! TWO DAYS LATER, IT FIXED ITSELF

EV Channels Review

This video chronicles a significant and frustrating issue experienced with the VinFast VF8, where the vehicle became completely inoperable, displaying multiple system faults and refusing to engage drive gears. The problem began after a road trip, with the car exhibiting phantom battery drain and a coolant system fault that disabled the AC. Initial troubleshooting attempts, including a 12V battery reset, proved unsuccessful. VinFast service was engaged, but challenges arose due to the reviewer's location being far from a service center, highlighting potential warranty and service limitations for out-of-state issues. After a day of troubleshooting and communication with VinFast, a more involved reset procedure involving pulling a main fuse alongside the 12V reset miraculously resolved all faults, restoring functionality including the AC and enabling charging. While the car is now operational, the root cause remains unclear, with a potential charging overheat event identified by remote diagnostics. The reviewer expresses confusion but relief that the vehicle is working, emphasizing the need for clear instructions on such resets for consumers.
