AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)11/27 Report--

According to relevant media reports, Ms. Xu of Jilin bought a Mercedes-Benz C-Class car at Changchun Star Mercedes-Benz 4S store two months ago, only to encounter a "spontaneous combustion" of the car on the way, which was eventually destroyed. The appraisal report given by the 4S store is caused by the lighter?

According to Ms. Xu, on October 13, the Mercedes-Benz C180L, which she had just bought for less than two months, suddenly smelled of burning from inside the vehicle, accompanied by white smoke. After getting out of the car, the vehicle caught fire, and the fire soon spread to the whole car. In the end, the car burned down to the frame.

After the firefighters put out the fire and left, the vehicle was towed back to the 4S store for testing, and the appraisal report was given on November 11, according to the report: after inspection, no technical defects that may cause the fire accident were found in the passenger seat of the vehicle, so the cause of the fire may be an external source, which may be caused by the accidental opening of the piezoelectric lighter under the co-pilot.

Since a similar small spring was found in the car, after comparing the spring with the spring of another piezoelectric lighter, it cannot be ruled out that the spring comes from a piezoelectric lighter.

Ms. Xu could not accept this statement. Ms. Xu thought that "the spring is not a lighter spring, because she does not smoke, and she suspects that the spring may have come from a pen. If it is a lighter, then the iron part of the lighter can not be burned. Why can't you find it?" Even if it is caused by a lighter, it is impossible to catch fire so quickly.

In order to understand the situation, the reporter accompanied Ms. Xu to the Changchun Star Mercedes-Benz 4S store. the relevant person in charge said that the report was issued in the store, not by the manufacturer, and would actively communicate with Ms. Xu for the follow-up situation. at the same time, cooperate with the fire department to continue to investigate the cause of the vehicle fire.

At present, the consumer department has taken over the investigation into the cause of the accident vehicle fire, and the incident is still under investigation.

For example, when a vehicle burns under the seat, 4S stores often decide that it may be caused by a lighter. Before that, many cases have been proved to be caused by a lighter, and there are also many cases that cannot be proved. For this time, the specific reason can not be judged, can only wait for the specific investigation results.
