AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)06/17 Report--

Repeated repairs and frequent flameouts seem a little unreasonable for a super-million Mercedes-Benz brand. After all, for consumers, spending a lot of money on luxury cars is to pay for high quality. But a few days ago, Mr. Jing in Henan said that his one million Mercedes-Benz off-road vehicle frequently stalled on the way five times.

According to Mr. Jing, the car is a Mercedes-Benz GL350 that he bought with 1.1 million yuan in 2013, and it has been hugged twice in just six years. And every time there is a lock, Mercedes-Benz hopes to replace its engine after sale, about 380000 yuan at a time, and if it does not replace the engine, it will need to be overhauled, nearly 240000 yuan.

Due to the high cost of replacing the engine, Mr. Jing was caught in the arms of the vehicle for the first time, and after negotiation between the two sides, Mercedes-Benz agreed to complete the maintenance at a price of 97000 yuan.

Unexpectedly, the same situation has happened again in recent days. According to Mr. Jing, at that time, under the normal driving of the vehicle, the vehicle turned off again without warning. "it was very dangerous. I was running on the highway when suddenly there was nothing left." In this regard, Mr. Jing is very afraid, "but fortunately, there are not many cars on the highway, and there are no traffic accidents."

According to this situation, Mr. Jing sent the vehicle back to Mercedes-Benz for after-sales repair. this time, Mercedes-Benz still hopes that Mr. Jing will replace the engine of the vehicle, with a price of about 400, 000 yuan per month. But in Mr. Jing's view, it is still unacceptable for him to buy a new Mercedes-Benz with such expensive repairs.

However, as for the reasons for the repeated problems with Mr. Jing's vehicle, after the media learned from the after-sales understanding of the Zhongxin treasure Zhongbo shop in Zhengzhou, it was learned that the vehicle purchased by Mr. Jing was a US regulation model, and the GL model of the Mercedes-Benz 642diesel engine suddenly locked up from time to time. Therefore, according to the suggestions put forward by the mechanic, the car is more suitable for running in the urban area than for long mileage on the highway, because the model is often locked up, which is caused by the manufacturer's design defects.

In response to this situation, the media also called Mercedes-Benz customer service, saying that because there is no direct feedback from unauthorized dealers, if there are any related problems, you can first go to the authorized dealer's store to check the situation. As for the vehicle situation, Zhengzhou Zhongxin treasure Zhongbo store after-sales manager said that "diesel GL350 this car, in all authorized Mercedes-Benz 4S stores do not sell this car." So for the maintenance price, he can apply to the store manager again and try to give a reasonable solution.

Although Mercedes-Benz has encountered various adverse news due to quality problems in the past two years, many netizens have just arrived surprised that "if you can't drive until you buy a car, you still have to supply it." But also because the model is not an officially authorized imported model, that is, a parallel imported model, the source of the model is seen by some netizens as one of the reasons.
