Issues with the VZ are similar to the VY.

i would go as far as saying vy and vz have the same problems. the vz is like a heavy updated vy so all of the problems have been ironed out from the vy. but as there is a new v6 in all vz's and a new v8 in the later vz models. there isnt really much to do with a vy. except the same body

My vz had lockmotor issues on two doors ,broken speaker grilles on rear doors ,protector strips cracked through.Brake discs have that shimy at light applications .

ive been lucky not to get those probs with the doors,alot of my mates have gone bonkers bcause of it.my vz was fine for awhile now little niggly things are starting to show like squeeky strg whl-glove box falling off!? -doors actually sound different now than when i got it,sound real lite and clanky now when i shut em.other than that i think the vzs are pretty good.fuel eco nots as bad as ppl say 2.oh does any one think the rubber seals around these cars are s**t? it seems like alot of water gets in around and on the bottom of drs when washing.nothing major tho.
