AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)04/19 Report--

As one of the core components of the automobile, the importance of the gearbox is self-evident to the vehicle. It can be said that the quality of the gearbox determines the quality of the whole vehicle to a certain extent. At the same time, the gearbox is also one of the components with high value of the whole vehicle, with maintenance costs ranging from thousands to tens of thousands. Recently, a car owner, Mr. Xu, reported to the media that he spent more than 210000 on a Volkswagen Passat, but because the gearbox broke down, the way of maintenance was to replace the "high-priced" gearbox, which cost as much as 150000 to replace the gearbox, which made him feel incredible.

According to the "1818 Golden Eye" media report, last year, Mr. Xu bought a gas-electric Volkswagen "Passat" at a price of more than 210000. The owner of this car is usually used to run a car-hailing network. A month ago, a traffic accident occurred on Jingchang Avenue in Yuhang. According to Mr. Xu, he was driving normally at that time and crashed into the green belt in the middle of the road in order to avoid the battery car running the red light, resulting in serious damage to the bottom of the front and damage to the bumper and gearbox. The traffic police determined that Master Xu did not pay attention to observation through the intersection, and the follow-up measures were improper, while the driver of the battery car did not drive in accordance with the traffic regulations, and both bear the same responsibility for the accident. After that, Mr. Xu put the vehicle in the Zhongmei 4S store in Hangzhou Linping Qiaoshi for maintenance. Then to his disappointment, after a whole month of maintenance, although other problems of the vehicle have been solved, the problem of the gearbox has not been clearly solved.

Mr. Xu said that the gearbox of the vehicle has been pulled to a third party designated by the insurance company for repair, which has been repeatedly dismantled and repaired six times, but still has not been repaired. Finally, the 4S store also told him that the car would cost 150000 to replace the gearbox, and the 4S store also said it was the price set by the manufacturer.

Yu, manager of Zhejiang Zhongmei 4S store, said: at present, the maintenance cost has been more than 30,000. As for the gearbox, it is required by the insurance company to be dismantled to a third party for repair. After the gearbox was dismantled and repaired by a third party, it hasn't been repaired until now, and they don't know what's going on.

It is understood that Mr. Xu's car bought the car insurance of Bohai property Insurance, and then Mr. Xu contacted the relevant personnel of Bohai property Insurance. Master Duan of the Bohai property Insurance vehicle also said that if the 4S store could not repair it, it could only replace the new gearbox, and the price difference between the repair and replacement of the gearbox was about 100, 000, and the quotation of the 4S store was 150000.

The owner of the car, Mr. Xu, does not agree with the maintenance plan given by the 4S store and Bohai property Insurance. Mr. Xu believes that this gas-electric Volkswagen Passat only cost more than 210000 when it was bought, and the current salvage value is only 170,80,000. But it is a bit unacceptable to change the gearbox. As for the price of the gearbox, the manager of the 4S store Yu responded: "the price offered to us by the gearbox manufacturer is 150000." In addition, the "Bohai property Insurance" car insurance fixed loss master Duan said that the naked car price of this car is 170000 to 180000 yuan. Due to the huge amount involved in replacing the gearbox, it does not mean that it can be replaced immediately, and it also needs to go through the process, including reporting the naked car price of the vehicle. After examination and approval, the next step can be carried out. At present, it is the first to repair and see.

In view of the above problems, so far, the two sides have not reached an agreement. No one is willing to replace the "high-priced" gearbox only one year after buying the car. Master Xu said that he had not taken a ride-hailing trip for a month, resulting in great losses. If the 4S store and the insurance company continue to wrangle with each other like this, he will consider claiming compensation through legal channels.
