AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)02/15 Report--

What do you think will happen when the vehicle suddenly loses a wheel at a normal high speed? On Feb. 10, after the Spring Festival, a Zhongtai SUV suddenly lost control and crashed into the central guardrail and collided with another car in a car accident on the G85 Yin-Kun Expressway. Fortunately, the people on board were only slightly injured.

The rear car recorder actually recorded the video to see how scary the scene was at that time!

After the video was released by the traffic police department through the media, it quickly caused heated discussion on the Internet. At present, netizens discuss and care about two issues: 1. Why did the right rear wheel fall off suddenly? is it a quality problem? two。 Which brand of car is this?

After repeated confirmation, the vehicle suddenly deviated to the left in the course of driving, and the right rear wheel shook and fell off at any time. This is important to prove that the wheels did not fall off because of the impact, but that the failure occurred during normal driving. After hitting the high-speed guardrail on the left, the vehicle lost control and deviated to the right and hit the central barrier, during which the right rear wheel was completely separated from the body. Finally, the faulty vehicle made a U-turn of 180 °under two collisions and deviated from the driving direction and collided with another car behind.

Why did the right rear wheel suddenly fall off? is it a quality problem?

After investigation, the vehicle parts do not meet the vehicle driving standard brake disc rupture, resulting in the loss of the right rear wheel.

The 24th detachment of the expressway of the traffic police brigade of the Sichuan Public Security Bureau, which was in charge of the accident, informed the media that Pu was driving a small ordinary bus from Sichuan RF67** along the G85 Yinkun Expressway (Baguangyu section) from Chongqing to Bazhong. When the vehicle reached the 1068km+700m section, the brake disc broke because the vehicle parts did not meet the vehicle driving standards, resulting in the right rear wheel of the vehicle falling off. And improper operation while driving caused the vehicle to hit the central isolation guardrail, and then collided with the Yu D57 vehicle * driven by Deng in the normal carriageway. Fortunately, the accident only caused minor injuries to the people on the Chuan R car, but did not cause more serious consequences.

After the incident, Pu was given an administrative penalty of two points and a fine of 400 yuan for driving a motor vehicle whose parts did not meet the technical standards and failed to drive safely and civilized in accordance with the operating standards. At the same time, Pu bears all the losses caused by the accident.

As can be seen from the driving record video, the vehicle's right rearview mirror is also tied with a red rope. Most people think that the new car is equipped with a standard project, but in fact, many old drivers are used to wearing a red rope on the vehicle. The direct cause of the accident is that the brake disc does not meet the vehicle driving standard, and the possible factors are the serious wear and tear of the brake disc, unqualified brake disc parts, deviation in assembly, and so on.

What kind of car is this?

Netizens have speculated that the vehicle may be Porsche, Audi or Zhongtai, and the one with the highest number of likes is Zhongtai. Is it really Zhongtai? We can confirm it by comparing the models.

After comparison, it is found that only Zhongtai T600 is similar to the accident vehicle, especially the large chrome trim connected to the taillights on both sides, as well as the front grille shape. The shape of this car is very similar to that of Audi Q5.

In other words, a Zhongtai SUV, because the parts do not meet the technical standards, in the normal driving on the highway, the right rear wheel suddenly fell off and flew out. If the rear vehicle recorder hadn't recorded the situation at that time, the owner might not have believed that the wheel would suddenly fall off while running, but fortunately it did not cause a more serious accident. Whether it happens on normal roads or on highways, this situation is extremely dangerous. Hope that the relevant brand manufacturers can take the initiative to contact car owners, investigate the further causes of the failure, and give the majority of consumers an explanation.
