Since 1991, when the first "3.15 Gala" of ** Radio and Television Station was broadcast, this public welfare action with the theme of "safeguarding consumer rights and interests" has been carried out for 33 years. Over the past 30 years, hundreds of enterprises or brands that have caused damage to the rights and interests of consumers in different fields have been successively protected to protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers.
The current "315" is like a demon mirror, and the enterprises with problems may not be able to get on it, but there must be problems with the "315". As the "resident guest" of "315", the appearance rate of automobile companies on "315" has never been low, whether it is a joint venture brand or a domestic brand, as long as it is on "315", it will fall into a serious crisis of trust, so every year on March 15 makes car companies tremble. On the occasion of the arrival of "315" in 2024, Che Yulu reviewed the car brands that fell on "315" in those years, which is not only a simple review, but also a silent warning.
In recent years, the "315" joint venture car companies are frequent customers
Judging from the car companies that have been named in the "315 Gala" in the past 10 years, almost all of them are joint venture brands. Objectively speaking, car companies in the past two years have been relatively "safe", and no car companies have been recruited in 2022 and 2023, but in 2021, Infiniti, Changan Ford, and BMW have all been named by "315" for various problems.
Among them, the problem with Infiniti is that the after-sales warranty agreement, according to the degree of resistance of the owner, Infiniti gives an extended warranty period ranging from 2 years to 20 years, and if the rights protection is worried about making a big trouble, the 4S store will give a maximum of 20 years of extended warranty. Changan Ford's problem lies in the problem of water and rust in the gearbox, the essence of which is Changan Ford's own design defect, and Changan Ford knows that it is a design defect, but when repairing the gearbox, the owner pays for it, and the problem is also a large-scale existence.
Compared with Infiniti and Changan Ford's own vehicle problems, BMW's problems are on the side of the 4S store, the face recognition camera installed in the Wuxi BMW 4S store will shoot customers coming and going, and the face information is a unique biometric information of individuals, once leaked, it will seriously threaten the user's property security and privacy security.
In 2020, the only one who boarded the "315" was Baojun, and the Baojun 560 was named by the "315" because of the general failure of the gearbox, which made the owner complain. It is precisely from 2020 that Baojun has gone downhill, which can be regarded as self-swallowing.
And then in 2015, Mercedes-Benz and Land Rover such luxury brands have not escaped the "315", according to the exposure, Mercedes-Benz 4S store deliberately falsely reported and exaggerated vehicle failures, in order to make huge profits, its small problem maintenance ** are as high as nearly 10,000 yuan. Land Rover is even more exaggerated, and the cases of its model Range Rover Evoque reverse gear failure abound in China, but Land Rover China directly blames the cause of the failure on the user.
Finally, in 2014, Haima Automobile was exposed to fuel consumption fraud, Haima Automobile colluded with domestic automobile testing institutions to modify engine data and other means to make the test vehicle run a relatively low fuel consumption, and the testing agency will ignore it if it finds that the fuel consumption of the vehicle is high, misleading consumers to buy vehicles. Since then, Haima Motors has continued to decline in sales, so much so that it has become the foundry of Xpeng Motors.
Who is most likely to "score twice" in "315" in 2024?
Looking at the car companies that have boarded the "315" in the past 10 years, it can be found that in addition to Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Changan Ford, the rest of the car companies named by "315" have no right to speak in the automobile market, and they are even more miserable in terms of sales. And if you want to board the "315" again, judging from the size of Infiniti, Land Rover, and Baojun, it is basically impossible.
Mercedes-Benz and BMW, is also actively recalling problem vehicles, take the recent example, in February, Mercedes-Benz has filed a recall plan with the State Administration for Market Regulation, from March 12 will recall a number of its models, a total of more than 280,000 problem vehicles, which may also be Mercedes-Benz for the "315" before the preparation of the arrival.
As for BMW, in 2022, BMW will generally have the problem of reducing the configuration of the car engine system, which has received a large number of complaints from car owners, but BMW has not boarded the "315" in 2023, and it is basically impossible for BMW to achieve a double goal on the "315" in 2024.
The rest is Changan Ford, like Mercedes-Benz, Changan Ford also took the initiative to recall its explorer models on the eve of this year's "315", and from February 2, 2024, recall some explorer cars produced between September 16, 2019 and October 14, 2022, a total of 6240,000 units. It is understood that the external fuel filter of some vehicles within the scope of this recall is insufficient in design strength, and under extreme working conditions, the brazing place may not be able to withstand stress and crack, resulting in fuel leakage, and if it comes into contact with an external fire source, there is a high risk.
Although the problem of the Ford Explorer has been solved, the problem with the Focus engine of Changan Ford has been running through the entire 2023, and until now Changan Ford has not been able to give an explanation, and the complaints on the car quality network are increasing day by day. According to the content of the complaint on the car quality network, the main problem of the Focus engine is the accumulation of oil in the intake manifold and throttle, which causes the vehicle to be unable to drive normally, and even affects driving safety.
It is worth mentioning that the problem of oil accumulation in the intake manifold and throttle has become 15T Focus's common problem, but Changan Ford has been ignoring this, and it may only be when it is named on "315" that Changan Ford's apology letter and solution will be released, after all, Changan Ford has such a lesson in 2021.
Write at the end:
Since Changan Ford first boarded the "315" in 2021, Changan Ford's sales trend has been in a downward trend overall, and the sales volume in 2023 will only be 2330,000 units, down 7% year-on-year13%。If Changan Ford plays a "double brace" on the "315" in 2024 due to the problem of Focus intake manifold and throttle oil accumulation, the impact on Changan Ford will be great, and at that time, where is the future of Changan Ford?
