AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)01/10 Report--

In the domestic independent SUV market can be called "benchmark" brand, Great Wall Motor can be counted as one of the, In the past year, Great Wall Motor achieved contrarian growth sales of 1.06 million vehicles, To achieve four consecutive years of sales exceeded one million vehicles. But it is this so-called benchmark model brand that puts consumers in a difficult maintenance "dilemma."

A few days ago, some netizens revealed that they bought less than a year of Haval models, sudden gearbox abnormal sound situation, in order to further understand the situation, the owner also in the owner forum post inquiry, the result learned that most Haval owners have similar situation, not their own vehicles appear a case.

For this reason, find Haval 4S shop to find the reason but was rejected, the owner said: 4S shop promised if can find a car without abnormal sound, willing to deal with it, means Haval 4S shop also knows this kind of situation, that is to say, Haval models basically will appear this kind of situation.

Obviously, for 4S shop such a statement, any consumer can not accept, the reason why choose Great Wall Motor is because of the reputation of Great Wall Motor, its many models can be ranked in the top of the sales list every year, now the vehicle problem is such a service attitude.

Through relevant platforms, we know that there are indeed many cases of the above-mentioned owners, and there are many owners of new cars with similar situations, involving Haval and WEY brand models owned by Great Wall Motors.

Most owners on the complaint platform said that they felt that there was a sound like metal collision when the gearbox was idling, and it was very obvious. Sometimes, abnormal noise would be heard when the gear was engaged, especially when the accelerator was stepped on when reversing, and the sound of clicking would be heard as soon as the accelerator was released. Find 4S shop to discuss, all said abnormal sound is normal phenomenon, do not worry, and vehicles have warranty. In this regard, there are car owners spit out: in the end gearbox or "speed change ring"?

As for the frequent abnormal noise of Great Wall Motor, some insiders explained: "The gearbox belongs to high-precision parts, and the process demand will also increase with the manufacturing cost, while some manufacturers choose to reduce the processing density in order to reduce the cost, so abnormal noise will occur."

"However, judging from the hearing feeling, the abnormal noise of the gearbox of Great Wall Motor may be the sound of motor jamming. It is very likely that the clutch is not opened and then put on P gear, which causes the motor to jam and cause abnormal noise. However, the specific structural problem or mechanical problem needs to be disassembled to know." The above-mentioned industry insiders said.

It is understood that Great Wall's 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox is independently researched and developed, composed of 175 kinds of parts, but the accessory suppliers are imported suppliers such as Daliu, Borg Warner, Schaeffler, etc., that is to say, it does not belong to parts problem, the most likely is that Great Wall purchases imported parts for assembly, but there are problems in design structure.

For a large number of complaints from Great Wall owners, officials also said there was a problem, but there was still no solution. Even if the gearbox is replaced, it may not be guaranteed that there will be no abnormal noise. If Great Wall Motors is considered, consumers who cannot accept abnormal noise can only consider replacing the model.

Although in 2019, Great Wall Motor became one of the few car companies that rose against the trend, with cumulative sales of 106,008 vehicles for the whole year, a slight increase of 0.69% year-on-year, and also outperformed the market. However, Great Wall Motor, as an independent brand automobile enterprise, still cannot compete with joint venture or imported automobile enterprises in some technologies, so there are still many aspects that need to be improved and strengthened.
