Zhejiang car networkHot Concern:Some fans like to label Volvo the myth of the world's safest car, but that myth has recently been in jeopardy.
The incident happened in Hangzhou, a Volvo S90 owner on the highway, unexpectedly found that the new car he had just bought for three days was abnormal. According to Hangzhou 91Radio 8 reported that this Volvo S90 was purchased by Mr. Wang from Hangzhou on October 10 this year, and on October 13, he took his family to drive a new car back to his hometown with joy, and found that the chassis was wrong on the highway. After going to the 4S shop for inspection, it was simply dumbfounded: it was actually 12 screws missing from the chassis guard plate of the car.
Mr. Wang's Volvo S90 with less screws
Mr. Wang said that he originally bought the car for Volvo's "safety", but now he has no sense of security at all. He suspected that the screws were not installed when they left the factory, so he complained and asked for help. After being inspected by a professional technician, it was preliminarily judged that the factory forgot to install it. The Volvo 4S store called** and said that it had not encountered a similar situation before, and it did cause trouble to the customer, and was willing to replace the customer with a new car.
Changing the car, although it can calm the worries and anger of the car owner to a certain extent, cannot cover up and eliminate the problems exposed, and may even cause more people to doubt. After all, Volvo Cars has long been called the safest car in the world by some. If the screws of the vehicle are not fully installed, the manufacturer will sell the car to the consumer, which is not only very strange, but also shocking and irresponsible. If Volvo Cars has such product production and control, how can we talk about safety? How can such a car be reassured? And the myth of the world's safest car is not at all on par with the myth of the world's safest car.
Some people in the industry said that the safety of automobiles depends not only on technology, but also on the technology to be able to be truly realized in production, and these two aspects are indispensable. Due to the complexity of automobile technology and production, there are many parts and links involved, once the quality control is not in place, there is negligence in a certain place, which may affect safety. Those recalled vehicles are often due to process and production problems. For example, Volvo Cars, the inventor of seat belts, used to carry a large number of unsafe seat belts and recalled about 2.2 million Volvo vehicles worldwide with substandard seat belts in June 2020. Therefore, among the global car companies, no car company dares to say that the cars they produce are the safest cars in the world, including those top luxury cars.
Zhejiang Car Network noticed that Volvo Cars officials have never claimed to be the safest car in the world. This mythical label is just a fantasy of some fans. In this regard, the majority of consumers should have a clear understanding.
In fact, the pursuit of safety is the basic task of all car companies, and the safety of each brand and each car ultimately depends on the manufacturer's technology and production control. Car companies with strong technology and production control capabilities, generally speaking, the safety performance of their products will undoubtedly be higher. Otherwise, it will be lowered, no matter what brand it is.
