According to relevant media reports, Mr. Wang from Taiyuan, Shanxi Province recently bought a new car. As a result, the new car caught fire after driving for a few months. The owner saw the seat of the dashboard heated and flashed, and then caught fire under the driver's seat, accompanied by a cloud of smoke. After the problem, Mr. Wang went to the 4S store to find out about the situation, but the 4S store said that the vehicle had nothing to do with spontaneous combustion.

It is understood that in May this year, Mr. Wang bought a Geely Dihao sedan in Shanxi Shenglong Automobile sales Consulting Co., Ltd.

On the morning of October 2, Mr. Wang wanted to drive his parents back to his hometown, but when he drove to his sister's house to pick up his parents and parked in front of the neighborhood, the car suddenly caught fire.

Mr. Wang said that at that time, he suddenly saw the seat heating light on the dashboard flashing and could not be turned off, so after smelling the smoke, he immediately opened the back door of the car, and saw that a wire under the driver's seat caught fire, and there was soon an open fire in the car. with a cloud of smoke coming out!

As the situation was very urgent, the security guard of the nearby community rushed to the scene with a fire extinguisher. Because the fire was put out in time, the fire was put out quickly.

After the incident, Mr. Wang called the 4S store in time, and dozens of minutes later, the staff of the 4S store rushed to the scene. As the 4S store suspected to be caused by man-made, he asked Mr. Wang if he smoked, and Mr. Wang also said no. According to video surveillance, Mr. Wang did not throw cigarette butts at that time.

After several days of investigation in the 4S store, the results were unacceptable to Mr. Wang. Mr. Wang said that the 4S store did not find a specific reason, but suspected that the mat was on fire. As the problem has not been found out, Mr. Wang put forward a request to return the car.

Subsequently, the reporter accompanied Mr. Wang to the 4S store to learn about the situation, and one of the staff said that they had consulted a third-party appraisal agency and said that the vehicle had nothing to do with spontaneous combustion, because the vehicle must have a melting point. For example, the circuit short-circuit fuse will fuse, but the investigation found that the fuse did not fuse.

At this time, Mr. Wang suggested that when the fire broke out, he found that the seat heating had been flickering all the time, which was suspected to be the problem. But the staff said that the line connecting the seat heating was intact, but the line connecting the airbag was burned, but the airbag was not electrified.

At present, in the view of the staff, the point of fire is a mat, and there are no signs of burning out of the carpet. Mr. Wang cannot agree with this statement, and the store said that he would first ask the manufacturer to give an inspection result, and then negotiate if Mr. Wang agrees with the result.

For Mr. Wang this fire incident learned through the Internet is not an exception, through the relevant investment platform to learn that there are also many cases.

Because some car owners reflected in the group of car friends that the car was charred in the back seat, they checked that this was really the case in their own vehicles, but the manufacturers were shirking their responsibilities.

According to the reply of Geely Automobile manufacturer, the problem is caused by the slight melting and contamination of the colloid and infiltration into the foam at the bottom of the seat due to extrusion and friction of the damping cushion on the bottom of the body, not caused by the burning of the heat source of the vehicle. with the extension of vehicle use time, the pollution will gradually deepen, which is a normal physical phenomenon.

The phenomenon of car fire is no small matter, and the seat is very close to the fuel tank, in case what happens and how to deal with it, I still hope that manufacturers can pay attention to this and give consumers a satisfactory answer.
