When it comes to the blockbuster events in March every year, in addition to the "two sessions", it is the March 15 party. On this day, the head of the public relations department of basically all car companies is basically praying the same thing: "Don't go to 315."
However, a few sorrows, there must be a few joys.
In stark contrast, the ardent hope of car owners, who are tormented by product quality problems, and incidentally, the enthusiastic attention of the melon-eating masses are also analyzing who is the "lucky one".
It's hard to answer this question at the moment, but today we can take stock of what happened in 2021!
Incident one: Euler's good cat steals the chip
For Euler's good cat to steal the chip, until now it can still be called "unabated heat".
The overall event context originated from Euler Good Cat in the premise of not informing the owner, the snapdragon mentioned in the promotion stage of the new car 8-core car chip replaced by Intel Atom 3940, due to the difference in performance brought about a huge use problem, stuttering, black screen, automatic restart, this is a common thing.
After the outbreak of the matter, the Great Wall Euler also opened a fight with the user, from the first small fight compensation plan to the additional various charging rights to upgrade the car and the lifetime warranty, etc., and finally ended with the Great Wall expected to claim more than 400 million yuan.
Although things are flat, but not on 315, it is not the car company that has the final say.
Incident 2: Volkswagen Tanyue Particle Trap
The fundamental reason for the particle trap installed on some models of Volkswagen Tanyue is to solve the pollutant emissions, so as to meet the National VI B emission standards, and the starting point is good.
However, when too many carbon particles in the particle trap begin to congest, it is necessary to maintain a high speed of the engine to eliminate the blockage, known as "GPF regeneration".
But such a means will obviously bring about an increase in fuel consumption, 30L/100km of fuel consumption is a small meaning, in the current state of oil price spikes, this cost is not low.
Of course, then Volkswagen also gave a solution, one is the software upgrade, and the other is to increase the thermal insulation protection.
In general, these two methods are not radical, but can only be regarded as reducing the frequency and reducing the thermal impact of "regeneration".
If you want to eliminate it completely, you may only have to change the engine and change the car.
Incident 3: BaicC BJEV EU/EV series models comprehensive complaints
The problems of the first two models are more targeted, but baic motor bJEV EU/EV series products are somewhat "comprehensive".
According to the complaint content of existing users, the vehicle spontaneous combustion for no reason, the sudden disappearance of power, the serious attenuation of battery life, vehicle charging failure and other endless "trick" failures, which in individual scenarios, the risk coefficient is quite high.
After the problem appeared, BAIC BJEV also launched a large-scale recall last year, as to whether these problems were completely improved after the recall, and whether it provided considerable compensation for car owners, it is unknown.
Event Four: Tesla Model S basement fire /Tesla brake failure incident
Tesla in 2021 can be said to have been living on the cusp of the storm.
Among them, the brake failure incident occurred before, and the relevant content is believed that the melon-eating masses are also quite aware, until now, the lawsuit between the car company and the owner is still pulling.
After the Model S basement fire occurred, the cause of the accident was not disclosed in detail.
In the treatment of these problems, Tesla is also quite "head iron", do not disclose the actual data, even if it is, but also the plate and the owner of the car lawsuit, this wave of operations, really some "hot eyes".
Event Five: BMW iX3 power battery failure
Bmw iX3 power battery failure is a problem "assembly", including the can not charge, can not start, suddenly jump N gear, transmission system damage and other car owners complained about the hardest hit area of the assembly.
After the above problems have been analyzed and repaired by BMW, the reason given is that there is virtual welding in the battery pack, which will cause the battery pack to be powered off when it is serious, that is, the interruption of the overall power of the vehicle
After the problem occurred, BMW recalled some iX3s and replaced the battery module, which also suppressed this storm.
However, the image damage caused by this quality problem is still there, after all, according to inertial thinking, BMW has already had several electrified products that should be mixed in this field, but in fact, this is not the case.
Incident six: Mercedes-Benz large-scale recall
Compared with BMW, which is also a luxury brand, Mercedes-Benz has more pressure on this side.
In addition to the eviction of the owner's rights protection re-initiated by the owner a few days ago because of the EQC due to motor leakage, Mercedes-Benz has also "stepped on the pit" continuously, from the entry-level CLA to the luxury flagship S-class have been recalled many times, and the quality problem is still relatively serious.
But fortunately, after each large-scale failure or before the determination of hidden dangers, Mercedes-Benz is still relatively timely in the matter of recall, and after maintenance and replacement, it can be regarded as giving the owner a satisfactory experience.
Therefore, this part of public opinion, Mercedes-Benz control is much better.
In fact, who is really on the list of the 315 party is not so critical, the focus is still to put the product quality problem on the surface, so that the follow-up product quality steadily improved is the key.
There are no hours left before the official arrival of the 315 party, do you think, who is the last brand to take the stage?
