Hongqi HS5 has indeed experienced some faults, but they are not as exaggerated as rumored online, and none of these faults are major quality issues. Minor issues reported with the Hongqi HS5: Body noise: The most common issue with the Hongqi HS5 is body noise, primarily concentrated around the A-pillar and B-pillar, which becomes more noticeable when driving on bumpy roads. Infotainment system freeze: While driving, there is a certain probability that the Hongqi HS5's infotainment system may experience a black screen, although it can return to normal after a restart. Brake noise: During low-speed braking, the brakes may emit a sharp squealing sound. Although this does not significantly affect braking performance, it can be quite unpleasant to hear. Engine vibration: The occurrence of engine vibration is not highly frequent, but some HS5 owners have reported that the engine tends to vibrate slightly at low speeds.
