Recently, the car quality network released a list of model complaints in January this year, which covers domestic cars, joint venture cars and some luxury brand models. But unexpectedly, the reason for these models to be listed is thousands of miles away from the previous impression of the Chinese people, what is the matter? Next, Xiaobian will take you to see which models are on the list.
Overall, the number of complaints in January has dropped a lot compared to December 2021, and even the number of complaints that ranked first on the complaint list has not exceeded 100. In the list in January, Geely Automobile "a hundred flowers bloomed", its luxury brand Volvo XC60 due to suspected deletion of the tailgate "kick induction" function has been a large number of complaints; the autonomous camp of Geely, Lynk & Co, Extreme Krypton including Geometry have models on the list, which has just started the year to face such an embarrassing situation, Geely this time the pressure is not small.
Looking at the entire list, most of the seats in the top thirty are occupied by independent and joint venture brands, but luxury brands also have three members of the shortlist for different reasons, Volvo XC60 will not be repeated, we mainly talk about the BMW 3 Series, the car has been complained about because of the abnormal wear and tear of the engine oil and braking system, ranking fourteenth in the list, which is inevitably surprising. Although BMW burned engine oil is not a day or two, but in recent years the new models have indeed improved in this regard, and now the comeback is really not, and the BMW 3 series in last year's sales are also leveraged, and now exposed this defect, is bound to have a certain impact on the credibility of the brand.
FAW-Volkswagen Audi's Audi A4L and BMW 3 Series are difficult brothers and sisters, due to the transmission noise and air conditioning problems have been complained about, ranking 28th in the complaint list.
I don't know if you noticed, luxury brands like BMW and Audi, the reasons for the complaint are related to the three major parts of the vehicle. At the same time, we look back at the list in January, and it is not difficult to find that although the independent brands and joint venture brands account for almost half of the models on the list, the problems of the independent brands are generally unrelated to the three major pieces, and the problems of the joint venture brands are almost equal to the three major parts such as engines and gearboxes.
Specifically, GAC Toyota Leiling, which ranked fourth in the complaint list, was complained about due to transmission setbacks and abnormal noises; SAIC Volkswagen's Tiguan L was complained about due to engine exhaust failures and high fuel consumption; FAW Toyota's Corolla was also frustrated and abnormal in gearboxes; Dongfeng Nissan Xuanyi was because it could not accelerate; FAW-Volkswagen's Tanyue was also due to engine exhaust failure, with high fuel consumption; and GAC Honda's fit was because of engine abnormal noise and rusty body. Except for Nissan Xuanyi," which "can't accelerate" because the 1.6L naturally aspirated engine on this car is too meaty, the rest of the joint venture models are generally complained about due to the failure of the three major pieces.
Most of the models listed by independent brands are complained about because of defects in the car machine system, or other components that have nothing to do with the three major parts, of course, there are "fan reasons" such as geometric EX3 kung fu cattle that are complained about because they cannot mention the car, which is also a bit of a cry.
Through this phenomenon, it is not difficult to see that the hard power of independent brands has been different from the past, and the failure rate has been reduced to the minimum in the three major parts of the vehicle; at the same time, due to the continuous innovation and research and development of the vehicle system in recent years, the vehicle system is not stable, which is also understandable. In everyone's previous concept, domestic cars represent poor quality, ugly appearance, poor performance, the mainland automobile industry started late, the products produced in the early stage of the start are indeed not too worry-free, but with the development of technology, the reliability of domestic cars has been no less than that of joint venture brands or even luxury brands.
Similarly, in the concept of the Chinese people, The Sino-American car is also a typical representative of poor quality and easy to break, but it is not difficult for us to look at the list carefully to find that there is not a single American car in the top thirty, but it is a Japanese and German joint venture brand that everyone feels reliable, not only frequently on the list, but also three major problems.
Although the brand reputation is accumulated for a long time, the reason why domestic cars or American cars are not well received is inseparable from their poor performance in the early years, but in recent years, they have indeed done what they know and can be changed, which has greatly enhanced the hard strength of their own products, while the Japanese and German joint venture brands are a bit stuck in their own way. So what do you want to say about the brand or model that made it onto the List of Complaints in January?
