AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)06/15 Report--
Recently, a car owner bought a Mercedes-Benz sedan. As a result, the car burst its cylinder and leaked oil after five months of driving. The 4S store said it was caused by man-made, but was determined not to issue a test report. What exactly is the matter?
In May last year, a Ms. Zhang in Fujian spent more than half a million yuan on a Mercedes-Benz E200. According to Ms. Zhang, the car only drove for more than five months, and once in normal operation, the car suddenly heard a "bang", the car stalled, oil appeared all over the floor, and the hood was emitting white smoke.
Then the insurance company sent someone to tow the vehicle to the 4S store, after a preliminary inspection, the reason is the engine cylinder burst, that is, the engine luck burst the cylinder block. Because the car has no collision marks, the insurance company says it is the quality of the car, which has nothing to do with them.
Ms. Zhang did not care about the insurance company, thinking that the vehicle had just passed the first insurance and had only driven more than 11,000 kilometers in more than five months, which should be within the range of three packages, thinking that Mercedes-Benz manufacturers could give an answer.
But in this regard, Mercedes-Benz 4S store after identification and testing gave the answer is that the vehicle is artificially caused by the owner, the need to replace the engine, and the cost of replacing the engine is as high as 200,000 yuan, and needs to be borne by the owner. But the test report was never given.
Ms. Zhang cannot accept the claim of the 4S store and believes that it is by no means man-made. And communicate with 4S store for more than ten times, 4S store has been looking for various reasons to evade.
In March this year, Ms. Zhang's husband wanted to tow the vehicle back and find a third party to do a detailed appraisal. Unexpectedly, after Ms. Zhang towed the vehicle home, she found that all the parts of the engine had been decomposed and did not know it, which made Ms. Zhang even more confused.
In the face of this, the person in charge of the 4S store said that they had signed a "transportation consent form for disassembly and inspection of important parts" with the consent of the owner.
But Ms. Zhang did not agree, they only agreed on the day the cylinder burst and signed the construction order, but the owner was not present when the engine was divided into small parts, and there was no owner's signature on the construction order. The 4S store said that the construction order for subdividing and dismantling the engine is only for technicians, and car owners do not need to sign.
However, as for the final test results of the vehicle, whether it was caused by man-made or the quality of the car, Ms. Zhang went to the 4S store for many times, during which there was also a dispute.
The 4S store said that the test report is an internal document and can only tell the car owner the general reason, but can not tell the car owner specifically. Ms. Zhang said that the car was bought with her own money, so why can't you see it? The 4S store said it could read it, but could not take the test report away.
In the end, the manager of the Mercedes-Benz 4S store gave in and gave the test report. From the test report, the inspection of the air intake grille, air filter element found no relevant water intake traces; check the antifreeze, the liquid is normal
But Mr. Zhang said that the answer given by the 4S store before was that the air of the vehicle had been flooded with water. For this, the car owner realized that it was not man-made.
Prior to the Mercedes-Benz manufacturer to the 4S store test answer is that incompressible objects into the cylinder, resulting in cylinder burst. And an incompressible object is water. Vehicles soak in water or pass through stagnant roads, the water level is higher than the exhaust pipe, will cause.
Mercedes-Benz 4S store manager said that the manufacturer's test report is not a third-party identification agency, so there is no legal effect, car owners have to go through judicial procedures, after judicial identification belongs to product quality problems, 4S stores and manufacturers will carry out three-guarantee law maintenance and replacement warranty.
After learning about it online, Ms. Zhang found that cylinder bursts occurred frequently not only in Mercedes-Benz E200, but also in other models, and the reasons given by car dealers were almost the same.
We will continue to pay attention to the follow-up of this matter.
For the occurrence of this incident, the same incident occurs repeatedly, but the answer given by the 4S store is similar, and is not willing to tell consumers, which will only cause consumers to question the quality of the car.
