AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)04/26 Report--

Before the 315 party this year, an article on the Internet, "they all bought Audi cars, they all have leukemia," spread all over the Internet and detonated public opinion. After that, the defender sent materials on behalf of Doudou and reported to the relevant state departments. The State Administration of Market Supervision and Administration formally intervened in the investigation.

There is the latest news about the Audi leukemia incident. The parties submitted materials to the State Administration of Market Supervision for the second time, saying that the number of "victims" had reached 93, of which 10 had died, while FAW Audi still avoided meeting with the parties. Volkswagen tried for the first time to use Shenzhen consumers' Association as a "middleman" to indirectly obtain relevant information about the parties.

Qilu Evening News reported that FAW-Volkswagen is collecting data from the parties through the Shenzhen Consumer Association. After communicating with the first batch of 33 parties, the parties made it clear that they were unwilling to give their data to FAW-Volkswagen Audi because they questioned Audi's "sincerity." Shenzhen Consumer Association also solicited opinions in the rights protection group, asking whether anyone was willing to give their data to the mainframe factory. But most defenders expressed reluctance, among which Ms. Li said, "if Audi is sincere, it should directly contact the parties involved in the leukemia incident."

After that, Audi 4S store directly called the relevant car owners to ask about the illness and "appeal". According to information obtained by the financial website, the Audi 4S store contacted at least two parties by phone.

The media tried to contact FAW-Volkswagen Audi, but the other party did not respond.

After the outbreak of the incident of "cancer caused by odor in Audi cars", Audi responded that it had no feedback on the disease caused by the smell of Audi cars. With regard to the fact that the online article reflects the smell inside the car, the commissioner said that Audi Q5, A4L and A3 models produced after April 2016 have been upgraded without odor problems. If there is a peculiar smell in the Audi Q5 produced from September 2013 to March 2016, it can be tested and processed at any Audi authorized 4S store in the country.

FAW-Volkswagen Audi headquarters related staff also responded: the company has noticed this, but also regret the experience of these car owners, but the car owners suffering from cancer is not necessarily related to Audi cars.

The source of automobile odor is usually due to the improper use of sound insulation materials or ingredients in the car, and some vehicles will produce more serious odors when they are in use for a period of time or in the case of high temperature. the odor often contains formaldehyde, benzene, and other harmful substances, once these harmful substances exceed the standard, they will cause harm to the human body, or even carcinogenic. The smell of cars is a common problem in many brand models, and there have been numerous complaints about the smell of cars. As early as 2013, CCTV 315 exposed that FAW-Volkswagen used non-environmentally friendly toxic materials in Audi cars.

In July 2017, Shenzhen Consumer Council commissioned a third-party professional testing agency to evaluate 23 domestic FAW-Volkswagen Audi Q5 cars for odor and excessive formaldehyde. The final results showed that nearly 80% of the testers thought that the odor inside the Audi Q5 was heavy. Even "uncomfortable, seriously uncomfortable, unbearable"; with professional instruments, 23 vehicles detected formaldehyde and other harmful substances. Subsequently, FAW-Volkswagen apologized to the majority of consumers for the trouble caused by the smell problem in the car, and promised to 100% solve the needs of users.

As for the Audi leukemia incident, although the problem of odor in Volkswagen Audi has existed for a long time, there has not been sufficient evidence to prove that Audi vehicles contain carcinogens that lead to human illness, and now activists have complained to the relevant authorities. The State Administration of Market Supervision has intervened in the investigation, and it is better to wait for the results of the investigation.
