A special exhibition – Problematic Car Expo – was held lately in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province. Vehicle issues, such as tire bulge, were exposed to the public again.
The expo was under the guidance of Zhejiang Provincial Consumers Association and was jointly held by local media.
Differentiated Issues
A good number of complainants and 156 problematic cars showed up in the expo.
Quality issues and consumption disputes revealed by the car owners were various. The quality issues range from small parts flaws to engine damages.
Car owners expressed their appeals differently. Some put banners on their cars and some even rent hoists to attract the attendants.
They all expected the media to help them safeguarding their lawful rights and interests.
Obviously, the car owners were dissatisfied with the reply and solutions from distributors and car companies.
Among the problematic cars, there were luxury brands such as Ferrari and Lincoln.
Benz Tire Bulge
A number of Benz cars parked in a row with many tires and hubs in the front of the cars.
The Benz owners said all the cars had tire bulge problems, some cars even had such problems on three wheels.
A Benz distributor said bad road was the main cause for tire bulge. Their solutions were replacing two wheels of a Benz car with three problematic wheels for free, and the replacing costs for the rest wheels must be undertaken by the consumer.
For the other cars, the distributor said the consumers should replace the tires at their own expenses.
