From the beginning of 2020 to the present, the increase in FAW Toyota oil has not been completely solved, and many car owners can only comfort themselves with "Toyota that cannot be broken, and the oil that cannot be used up" to comfort themselves. Although manufacturers and 4S stores say that the increase in oil is a normal phenomenon, the majority of consumers are very clear that this is nothing more than delaying and avoiding, and it will take a long time to wait if the manufacturer recalls and completely solves it.
Helplessly, many car owners have not given up their rights. Up to now, the complaint cases of rongfang oil increase have not stopped. In October 2021, the owner mentioned a 2021 dual engine 2.5L CVT four-wheel drive elite PLUS version, driving a mileage of about 3400 kilometers, and when he did the first insurance on February 12, 2022, he found that the oil increased. The 4S shop handles the excess oil.
Another owner, when driving 1,000 kilometers, found that the oil increased by 4 centimeters, and the owner was worried about engine wear and reduced engine service life. Whether it is for self-use or late replacement, it is bound to affect the retention rate, and the owner must bear the monetary loss, requiring the manufacturer to come up with an effective solution as soon as possible.
In many complaint cases, whether it is the 2020 model or the 2021 model, the increase in the oil of Rongfang has not been spared, and most of the models are dual engine versions. The 2.0L version also has the phenomenon of increasing oil, and many car owners said that the oil contains a clear gasoline smell, which is not a normal phenomenon at all as the manufacturer says.
Another owner bought a four-wheel drive elite PLUS version, the landing price is 300,000 small, in November 11, 2021 to pick up the car, 12 and 13 on the found that the oil seriously increased, 4S shop said that the change of oil will increase, let the owner open normally, after a year of bad engine change. For such a bad inaction, the owner expressed great anger, a month of new cars, there will be an increase in oil, it is unlucky enough, 4S shop also lightly let the owner rest assured to drive, a big deal about the engine.
Summary: In the past two years, the owner has continued to play games with FAW Toyota manufacturers and 4S stores, and has never had the upper hand. This has to make people sigh, rights protection is really too difficult.
In recent years, although FAW Toyota's sales have been growing, they have actually weakened. At last year's Shanghai Auto Show, Hu Shaohang, general manager of SALES at FAW Toyota, said that FAW Toyota's sales volume would reach 880,000 vehicles in 2021, but according to the data of the Association, FAW Toyota's cumulative sales in 2021 were less than 850,000 vehicles (846299 vehicles).
Before 2017, FAW Toyota had a 200,000-unit lead over GAC Toyota. From 2018 onwards, the gap between north and south Toyotas gradually narrowed, until 2021, GAC Toyota sold 840,000 vehicles, and the gap between the two was less than 6,000 vehicles. The leading edge has shrunk from 200,000 vehicles to less than 6,000 vehicles, which can clearly be seen that FAW Toyota's product strength is weakening.
Faw Toyota still failed to complete the sales task after introducing new models such as the Lingfang Harrier and Asiatic Lion. The new models failed to contribute to sales, and the main sales model Rongfang was plagued by the increase in engine oil and could not be solved.
For Hu Shaohang, the task of continuously introducing TNGA architecture products has been hopeless. Hu Shaohang's predecessor, Tian Qingjiu, was investigated for corruption, reflecting that FAW Toyota was flawed in internal management. As a successor, Hu Shaohang should strictly control the quality, especially Rongfang, as a star model, can not let the oil increase.
FAW Toyota sold 41,000 units in January, down 46% year-on-year, while GAC Toyota sold 87,500 units, up 0.8% year-on-year. Whatever the reason, FAW Toyota under the leadership of Hu Shaohang has been a big failure at the beginning of the year, and in 2022, GAC Toyota is likely to complete the counterattack and lead FAW Toyota.
Conclusion: In the case that new products cannot provide increments for FAW Toyota, then classic models such as Rongfang and Asian Dragon are more important. If the increase in oil is not solved, consumer trust is bound to gradually decrease, weakening FAW Toyota's product strength, which in turn will lead to a decline in sales. At that time, it will be more difficult to win back the trust of consumers.
