AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)03/24 Report--

Cars are made up of thousands of parts, and faults of different sizes are inevitable. Engine falling off, no matter what kind of car, is a very rare phenomenon, and it is also a potential hidden danger, which greatly reduces the safety of driving. Recently, Mr. Yang from Zhengzhou, Henan Province, encountered such a thing. He bought a new GAC MOTOR GS3 in April last year, and the engine "fell off" while driving on the road.

In April last year, the owner of the car, Mr. Yang, bought a GAC MOTOR GS3 at the Acer 4S store. Unexpectedly, the new car "fell off" after running only 6, 000 kilometers in less than a year. According to the owner, a few days ago, he was driving normally on the road with his wife when he heard a splash, and then the Chuanqi GS3 lay down and did not move directly. After getting out of the car to check, he found that the engine had dropped.

After that, the car owner contacted the rescue company and towed his car to the 4S store. After testing, the 4S store found that his engine leg was broken, and the 4S store also thought that Mr. Yang was driving violently. However, since Mr. Yang bought his own car, he has only used it as a daily transportation, going back to his hometown or something. He has never carried out intense driving at all, and Mr. Yang said that when the engine leg broke, the vehicle was running normally and there were no potholes on the road.

The problem of engine "falling off" occurred only 6000 kilometers after the car was driven. Mr. Yang hoped that the 4S store could give an explanation. Mr. Yang's sister said that after they went to GAC MOTOR Acer 4S store for sale, the after-sales staff said it was a design problem. Mr. Yang's sister thought that the problem was very serious. If it happened on the highway at that time, the consequences would be unimaginable, and a reasonable explanation would be needed from the 4S store.

For Mr. Yang's sister's statement that "the after-sales staff said it was a design problem", the 4S store did not admit it, but the after-sales director of the 4S store revealed that now this Chuanqi GS3 has the latest engine legs, so it will be no problem to put it on. "I'm not saying that this is a design flaw, I'm just saying that this has the latest engine legs, and we certainly won't have this problem again after we put it on."

Mr. Yang's sister also said that the 4S store is planning to replace engine legs for vehicles that have already been sold. "they are also going to gather all the previously sold (Chuanqi GS3) to replace them."

According to the 4S store, there is the latest engine foot, and there will be no problem with the broken foot after replacement, so is there a problem with the old foot? According to Mr. Yang's sister, the 4S store is changing engine legs for sold vehicles, which has to raise questions. Can it be said that manufacturers or 4S stores are replacing engine legs in a "secret recall"?

The after-sales director of the 4S store said that the broken leg of the vehicle engine can not be answered directly now, and an investigation is needed and will be dealt with strictly in accordance with the three-package method.

Finally, after negotiation, the owner and the 4S store reached an agreement, the 4S store will check the quality of the vehicle, if it is a quality problem, it will all be replaced into new parts, and give customers eight times of maintenance.

According to the information on the network, Chuanqi GS3 engine bracket fracture accident is not the first, around the Spring Festival in 2018, a new owner of Zhengzhou GAC MOTOR 20 days Chuanqi GS3 also had the problem of engine leg fracture, when the owner Mr. Zhu said: driving is walking, I heard a cry in the car, I quickly opened the front hatch to check, found that the engine is already askew.

In addition, another netizen complained on the Internet that two months after GAC MOTOR's new GS3 car, the engine bracket broke. Netizen: above the flat road, the bracket itself broke, what should I do? There is something wrong with the quality.

It is hoped that manufacturers will pay attention to this matter. It is not a trivial matter that the engine leg breaks during driving, which leads to engine "falling off". It is related to driving safety, no matter what the real cause of the accident is. I also hope that the manufacturer will issue a more scientific description of the accident to let car owners and consumers know.
