AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)10/23 Report--

According to a Jilin Changchun netizen, in mid-October this year, the netizen drove his own purchase of Geely Dihao sedan on the way to the vehicle suddenly caught fire, the fire burned violently and quickly engulfed the vehicle, finally the whole vehicle burned empty frame.

According to the net friend introduced, At that time driving vehicle driving about 80km/h, The vehicle suddenly can not accelerate, Then see the front of the vehicle began to emit black smoke, Soon the fire quickly spread the whole vehicle, When firefighters arrived after the whole vehicle has been burned. Finally, after on-site inspection by firefighters, it was found that the vehicle had been burned to such an extent that it was scrapped, and the flames of the vehicle were extinguished.

Then the owner dragged the burned vehicle to Geely Changchun Mingyu 4S shop for vehicle accident detection. According to the owner, the vehicle was 2018 Geely Dihao cvt upward interconnection version. The purchase time was less than 15 months. It was still in the warranty period. During the use of the vehicle, nothing had been changed and the line had not been taken over. It was the same as the factory.

On October 22, Mingyu 4S shop issued a report entitled "Jilin Changchun Vehicle Fire Cause Analysis" to the owner after sale. The identification result: external factors caused the vehicle to overfire, not caused by product quality. A large mass of unburned cotton clothes was found at the site, consistent with the remnants of burned vehicles. It was also found that there were residual unburned items in the front seat pad of the driver's seat. It was speculated that the fire started in the middle of the bottom of the vehicle.

The owner thinks that the report issued by Geely does not meet the standard, there is no official seal, and there are many errors in the content. Asked about the 4S shop, the answer is because: "Although it is a report from Geely Company, but it is not a quality problem of the car, the company does not give a stamp, if you want to stamp, you can only stamp the after-sales stamp of our Mingyu 4S shop." I hope Geely Company can give a fair and just result without loopholes.

The same incident is not this case, in early October, Shanxi Taiyuan Mr. Wang recently bought a new car about 5 months old, the result of the new car opened a few months before the fire phenomenon, the owner saw the vehicle dashboard seat heating flashing, then the vehicle under the driver's seat will catch fire, and accompanied by a cloud of smoke. After the problem occurred, Mr. Wang found 4S shop to understand the situation, 4S shop said that the vehicle has nothing to do with spontaneous combustion.

There are also many cases learned through relevant investment platforms. The owner of the car because of the group of car friends reflect the phenomenon of burning the rear seat of the car, they check their own vehicles do have this situation, but the manufacturers are shirking responsibility.

According to the reply of Geely automobile manufacturer, this problem is caused by slight melting and contamination of colloid and penetration into foam at the bottom of seat after extrusion and friction of damping pad of vehicle body floor. It is not caused by burning of vehicle heat source. The pollution will gradually deepen with the extension of vehicle service time, which belongs to normal physical phenomenon.

Two spontaneous combustion of Geely cars within a month, but the situation is so similar, whether it is really caused by foam at the bottom of the seat or other specific reasons, I only hope Geely can pay attention to it, after all, the phenomenon of car fire is not a trivial matter.
