If an enemy vehicles is abandoned, after a while it will
dissappear (and return to the vehicle spawn point).

Does this happen, if the vehicle is carjacked first?
That is the other team enters it, and then leaves it.

That's referred to as "vehicle dumping". It was fixed in a later
patch.

It seems though that there is still sometimes a bug in the code. If
you abandon *your own* vehicle that has taken a lot of damage, it
seems to sit there for a long time.

Funny you mention that. I've seen that very thing happen lately and wondered
why I kept having to push damaged vehicles out of the way in vehicle assault
maps. Undamaged ones despawn quickly, but a damaged one will linger quite a
long time.

I've noticed that if I take any time to find weapons or health after
starting a node, my vehicle will disappear.

Stealing an enemy vehicle, damaging it until it smokes and then hiding
it somewhere. A bug in early versions caused that vehicle to not
respawn.
