XPENG G6 – unresolved suspension noise, disappointing warranty support and poor communication
I bought a brand-new XPENG G6 Standard Range MY26 from an authorised dealer in Germany. The car had only 6 km on the odometer.
At approximately 1,400 km, I noticed an intermittent rattling noise coming from the front of the car, especially when driving slowly over rough or patched asphalt and small, closely spaced road imperfections.
I first contacted XPENG Vilnius service by email on 16 July 2026 and brought the car in for inspection on 24 July. The suspension and tightening torques were checked, and test drives were carried out, but the source of the noise was not identified.
I continued trying to resolve the issue and provided additional information and recordings. By 12 August, the car had already covered 4,283 km, and by September I had been driving with this noise for almost 7,000 km. My case was registered with XPENG under ticket #124594 (Hardware Issue).
After a lengthy process, I eventually managed to arrange an inspection at the authorised XPENG service centre in Riga. The technicians heard the noise during a test drive on a rough road. They removed the stabilizer link for a test and reported that the noise disappeared. They then replaced the left stabilizer link. Unfortunately, the noise was still present when I drove the car afterwards, so this repair did not solve the problem.
While trying to understand what might be causing this issue, I found reports from other XPENG G6 owners describing very similar front-end rattling noises (with video recordings). What is particularly interesting is that different owners have received different diagnoses and repair proposals. One owner reported that replacing both front shock absorbers completely solved the problem. In another owner's case, replacement of the front suspension control arms (wishbones) has only been registered/planned and has not yet been carried out. Other reports mention stabilizer links and bushings.
I cannot say whether all these cases have the same underlying cause, but the similarities are concerning and suggest that XPENG should investigate this issue more systematically rather than simply replacing individual parts without confirming the actual cause.
As of 8 November 2026, 115 days after my first written contact with XPENG service, the problem remains unresolved. This is an extremely long time for a problem reported so early in the life of a brand-new vehicle.
The communication has been equally disappointing. I have received promises that the matter would be checked internally, followed by long periods without meaningful updates. I have repeatedly had to chase XPENG myself to get any progress or response.
I understand that intermittent suspension noises can be difficult to diagnose. However, I expect a manufacturer to take responsibility for a problem reported at such low mileage, carry out a proper investigation and communicate with the customer in a reasonable and timely manner.
Unfortunately, my experience so far has been several months of delays, unsuccessful diagnostics, an ineffective repair attempt and poor communication. I am still driving a new car with the original problem, and I cannot recommend the level of warranty support and customer service I have experienced.
I initially did a lot of marketing for them because I was impressed with the car, but now I regret it completely. If XPENG doesn’t take serious action, the future of the brand looks highly uncertain.
