Owners of the flagship of the domestic automobile industry have already counted more than 20 “problems and reductions in price” of the new Vesta NG
About two months ago the Lada.online website began compiling a list of «sores» and defects of Lada Vesta NG. At that time, it totaled approximately one and a half dozen points. The practice was continued by the public page «Vesta – Pros and Cons», and recently the list has expanded significantly. Interestingly, many «jambs» surfaced in cold weather. But «Vest» it seems like a domestic car, and it should be better adapted for the Russian winter than some Chinese ones.
In reality, everything turns out differently. We have already written about the fact that in the cold, many people “freeze.” turn signals, and dealer repairs help here, but not always. But to this was added the discharge of the battery (for some it discharges overnight, for others in a week of inactivity in not very cold weather), as well as failure of the ABS in cold weather. Apparently, the domestic system produced by ITELMA is not designed for Russian frosts. But this was not the case with the German Bosch system (which was also produced in Russia).
More from the new: rapid wear of the timing belt, humming and failure of wheel bearings on runs up to 35 thousand km, a problem with the brake pedal sensor and brake lights, problems with the response to the gas pedal (car does not pick up speed, when leaving a secondary road it is impossible to accelerate normally, the speed drops, the car does not respond to the gas pedal).
Against this background, there are crickets in the cabin, crackling gearbox cables, possible problems with the air conditioning, rattling calipers and pads, creaking and rapid wear of factory pads, creaking and knocking anti-roll bar – These are not problems at all, but just features of «Vesta». And here is another interesting feature of the car: «for many, the sound signal works only when the steering wheel is straight, and if it is turned to the side, the signal does not work ».
