One of the owners of a Lada Vesta, manufactured in 2024, shared part of a conversation with an employee of a Lada dealership that handles warranty service on the internet. The specialist explained why the power steering rattles in the car and what other problems the cars have.
According to the service center employee, the cause of extraneous noises in the power steering operation is an increased thermal gap between the gears of the planetary gear. This is a common problem for this type of car.
You are the second today [with the problem of a rattling power steering], there were two yesterday, one the day before yesterday. I would say that there are more and more of these cars. Because this is a problem with the 24th year "Vesta".
Answering a question about other "specific features" of the Lada Vesta, he mentioned: stabilizer, hub bearings, timing belt.
Last year, the owners of the first Lada Vesta NG faced a number of different problems. Among them was the incorrect operation of electronics.
In November 2024, it became known that AvtoVAZ had finalized all the problematic Lada Vesta. There are no more cars left that needed to update the software for the ESP system, but now, apparently, new nuances have appeared.
