===== ✅ Common glitches / issues reported for the VF7 (and related VinFast models) =====

Based on user reports, forum posts and some media coverage, here are issues that have emerged:
* Software / infotainment glitches: - Users report “minor software glitches in the infotainment system” for early VF7 units.

* ADAS / driver-assist / structural concerns: - A whistleblower engineer claimed serious structural/suspension issues across VinFast’s models (including VF7) — e.g., parts wearing out far faster than expected in testing. InsideEVs<ref>{{cite web|title=InsideEVs|url=https://insideevs.com/news/745412/vinfast-whistleblower-fired-safety-concerns/|publisher=insideevs.com|access-date=2025-11-17}}</ref> - The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) opened a probe into VinFast vehicles (especially VF8) over lane-keeping assist difficulties, incorrect steering inputs, difficulty overriding. While that is not only VF7, it raises concern for build quality across the brand.

* Reliability & frequent minor faults: - One Reddit thread: “99% of VinFast cars having problems … software errors … battery not charging properly … camera 360 not working … ADAS steering problems.” (Though this is a broad generalisation across the brand) Reddit<ref>{{cite web|title=Reddit|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/VinFastComm/comments/1dry2yn/99_of_vinfast_cars_having_problems/|publisher=reddit.com|access-date=2025-11-17}}</ref> - A used-car buying guide for VF7 in UAE notes: “Reported Issues: Some users report minor software glitches in infotainment systems in early units.” Icartea<ref>{{cite web|title=Icartea|url=https://www.icartea.com/en/wiki/used-vinfast-vf7-buying-guide-in-uae|publisher=icartea.com|access-date=2025-11-17}}</ref>
