AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)07/31 Report--

On May 4 this year, when Mr. Chen of Wenzhou was driving a Wuling minivan on the highway, the car suddenly "spontaneously ignited". The fire engulfed the whole car, and eventually the Wuling minivan was directly burned to scrap. According to Mr. Chen's description, friends in the same car at that time found smoke coming out and smelled burning. at first, the fire was not very big, but later he spilled several bottles of mineral water on it, and the fire grew bigger and bigger, and eventually the car was surrounded by fire.

Mr. Chen said that there were five people in the car at that time, but fortunately it was found in time and caused no casualties, but the truck was also burned and there was only one frame left. At that time, the Yongjia fire brigade also carried out the rescue and issued an accident fire identification: "the place of the fire: the bottom of the car; the point of fire: the junction of the front and the car; the cause of the fire: the fire caused by the spontaneous combustion of the car."

It is understood that the burned Wuling truck was bought in June last year at a dealer in Cangnan, Wenzhou, at a price of 48000 yuan. On the day of the incident, he transported materials to a barbecue shop with furniture, household appliances, charcoal and other goods on the car. the direct loss of the accident was about 100000 yuan. Because Mr. Chen did not buy spontaneous combustion insurance, the loss caused by the accident was borne by the individual. Now the accident is determined to be caused by "the fire caused by the spontaneous combustion of the car". Mr. Chen said that he had not modified the vehicle and suspected that there was a problem with the vehicle itself. The losses caused should be borne by the distributor.

The reporter came to Wenzhou Cangnan Xinzhou Automobile sales Co., Ltd., where Mr. Chen originally bought the car. The dealer said that the car was purchased here, but because it was a second-class dealer, the problems related to the accident were handled by Ruian Jinhui Automobile sales and Service Co., Ltd.

Ruian Jinhui 4S store believes that at that time, Mr. Chen's car was equipped with coal, which was inflammable and explosive, so the cause of the fire could not be identified as a quality problem, and both sides held different opinions. At the same time, Ruian Jinhui 4S store also disagreed with the fire certificate issued by Zhejiang Yongjia Fire Brigade, believing that the rear of the truck was equipped with flammable and explosive trucks, and the fire site was at the rear. This is because the fire brigade of Qiaoxia Town, Yongjia County, which was the first to go to the police after the incident, provided a handwritten accident identification letter, believing that the rear part of the car caught fire.

Two certificates of recognition for the same accident, and the fire site is also different, which one should be the main one? Zhejiang Yongjia Fire Brigade said that the accident identification issued by 4S store by Qiaoxia Town, Yongjia County has no legal effect. In view of the speculation of a fire caused by external reasons, the fire brigade believes that cigarette butts are unlikely to cause vehicle spontaneous combustion when driving at high speed, and it is also impossible from the trace of combustion at the scene, so the cause of the fire is determined to be caused by car spontaneous combustion.

In this regard, the lawyer said that the car owner can sue the 4S store with the accident identification of the fire brigade. After coordination between the two sides, the two sides indicated that they are willing to find a third party to determine the cause of the accident. if it is caused by a quality problem, the 4S store will bear full responsibility for the cause, and we will continue to report on the follow-up of this matter.
