Recently, some car owners reported to the media that their Xiaopeng G3 suddenly broke the wheel hub while driving normally.

The owner said: "on the normal way to work, there was an elevated at first, but found that the car was a little unusual, so it got off the viaduct." After that, I found that the car was shaking all the time, so I slowed down to 20 or 30 yards, and suddenly the whole hub broke. Later, the car was towed to the 4S store, and a few days later, the 4S store said that the test report came out, saying that there might be a damage point on the tire, but it could not detect where the damage point was, only a fuzzy result was given. "

Then the media also contacted Xiaopeng after-sales staff, and Xiaopeng side is a different story. Xiaopeng's after-sales staff said: "this test report has been given to the customer, that is, it is not because it was broken at the scene of the customer's accident, but because he was in the process of using the car before. the steel ring of the car has a lateral force, that is, an external force, and then causes the steel ring to crack. Then after driving for a period of time, due to overwork, the customer at the final accident site, the steel ring is broken. And the customer also told us at that time that on May 17, on the section of Jinshajiang Road, he had a road-to-road impact, and then we saw his steel ring, and when the car arrived at the store, he also had those oxidized old injuries. "

In response to the response from the after-sales staff, the car owner was very angry and said that no accident had happened before the incident, and also showed the media the accident record in May. Records show that there was no accident record in May except the day the hub broke.
