    Why would you allow your friend to borrow a car with these issues?
  • @user-dw1ls3rp1l
    Why would you loan your car to a buddy to drive his whole family around if you knew the steering was glitching out?
  • @fatbackfunk
    I'm assuming that co-worker and the family weren't actually that close i.e. an actual friend wouldn't lend a faulty car to another friend, especially one with steering problems for f***'s sake.. yikes..

    Dont drive a noname car Vinfast if you want keep your family’s life. I wonder why NHTSA allowed this car on road even they not passed crash test.
  • @CHIPNDEATH
    I dont trust on cars with 90% computer taking control of all driving
  • @maxliya466
    Why you even buy a car made by unknown manufacturer? specially a EV
  • @ibuyufo
    My questions are: 1) Why were they driving with lane assist on? 2) Why were they not taking over control when the car was driving towards the tree? 3) Did they confuse lane assist with full self driving? 4) why did the co-worker hand over a car that he felt was unsafe and not familiar with the features of the car?

    Family of two children inside of car speeding that fast?? Crash to a tree burst in flame... definitely something wrong with the car
  • @ejcked
    what the heck is vinfast and what is it doing in US roads?
  • @rocoroco814
    why isnt the title called "Complaint filed against Vinfast in deadly Pleasanton crash" imagine this was a tesla.... pick and choose....
  • Why would anybody buy a Vinfast car? They made that car within 2-3 years of starting the EV auto business...
  • @kenmasters4305
    After the accident, the owner filed a complaint claiming that the car was veering to the right? It sounds like the owner just implicated themselves in this tragedy. Also EV fires reigniting is a common danger.

    How many more people have to die while this is being "investigated" ? 😡
  • @510deshawn
    Do not buy these! We pulled them off the ship last year brand new. Brand new ship and company!!
