Selling a broken VinFast VF 9
Owners have filed just two complaints with NHTSA about the VinFast VF 9, both on the 2024, as of October 10, 2026. One names the electrical system, the other the power train, and one of the two says the SUV had to be towed. No recall campaign lists the VF 9.

That is a short record. EPA's data starts the VF 9 at 2024, and a young model draws fewer reports simply because its owners have had less time to file one.
A thin record doesn't fix the one in your driveway. If your VF 9 is broken or wrecked, you can sell the whole car as it sits. We buy whole non-running and junk cars, with free pickup anywhere in the US.

Complaints and recalls by model year

| Year | Complaints | Towed | Recall campaigns | Components named |

Fix it or sell it?
With two complaints on file, the data can't tell you what usually goes wrong on a VF 9. Your own diagnosis matters more than any trend.
- Run the VIN at NHTSA's recall lookup in case a campaign has been added since.
- Get a written diagnosis and a repair quote. Then look up what a running VF 9 of the same year sells for.
- When the quote nears that resale figure, keeping the VF 9 rarely pays. Repairs cost more than it's worth shows how to weigh it, and electrical problems covers faults like the one in the 2024 complaint.
Selling your VF 9 whole
- Gather the VIN, the odometer reading, which version (Eco or Plus) and the fault.
- Get an offer online, or call (877) 421-6008.
- Say where the VF 9 is and if it rolls or must be winched onto the truck, like the towed 2024 in NHTSA's file.
- Leave it whole, and mention anything already taken off.
- On pickup day, keep your photo ID and the VF 9 title ready to show our driver. See after you sell for plates and insurance.
Questions people ask

- No recall campaign for the VF 9 appears in the NHTSA data behind this page. New campaigns can be added, so enter your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls before you decide.
- Will you buy a VF 9 that has to be towed?
- Yes. We buy whole non-running and junk cars, and pickup is free anywhere in the US. Let us know if the wheels turn and the address where the VF 9 is.
