Questioning the new Haval H6 side collision
The official response is that the vehicle is in a state of power failure.
12 On February 23rd, China Automobile Research Institute (C-NCAP) conducted a side impact test on the third generation Haval H6, which was broadcast live. The picture shows that during the whole collision, the side airbag and air curtain of the third-generation Haval H6 did not open, and the door was locked after the collision. This makes many consumers question the safety of the new generation Haval H6.

Log in to the top ten typical cases of anti-monopoly law enforcement
On February 25th, 65438, the State Administration of Market Supervision released the top ten typical cases of anti-monopoly law enforcement in the previous year, among which two car companies were on the list. It is understood that in 2065438+2009 * * *, the General Administration filed 103 monopoly cases, 46 cases were closed and 320 million yuan was confiscated. The two car companies named as the top ten cases are Changan Ford Motor Co., Ltd. and Toyota Motor (China) Investment Co., Ltd.
Among them, Changan Ford Motor Co., Ltd. was fined 6.5438+62.8 million yuan for violating the Anti-Monopoly Law by limiting the minimum resale price of dealers' vehicles. During the period from 20 13 to 20 17, when selling Ford brand cars in Chongqing, a monopoly agreement was reached with the dealers, and the lowest price of the whole vehicle for resale to a third party was limited by formulating and publishing a price list, requiring the dealers to sign a price supervision and self-discipline agreement, formulating a price policy during the auto show, and limiting the lowest quotation of the dealer network.
Under the price control of Changan Ford Motor Co., Ltd., the downstream dealers basically sell the whole vehicle at its lowest resale price. In order to strengthen the control of downstream dealers, Changan Ford Motor Co., Ltd. hired a third-party company to monitor the dealer's quotation and actual retail price, and punished the dealer who did not sell the car according to the lowest price policy with deduction and suspension of supply.
Toyota Motor (China) Investment Co., Ltd. violated the Anti-Monopoly Law by unifying the online quotation of dealers and limiting the lowest price of goods resold by dealers, and was fined 876 13059.48 yuan. From June, 20 15 to February, 20 18, Toyota asked dealers in Jiangsu Province to make unified quotations for Lexus brand cars on the Internet platform by holding dealer meetings, patrolling stores and notifying by WeChat, and dealers were not allowed to lower the online quotations without authorization.
Ma Yue:
Changan Ford and Toyota were named this time and included in the top ten typical cases of anti-monopoly law enforcement, which can be described as "killing chickens and monkeys". The State Administration of Market Supervision pointed out that it is necessary to continuously strengthen anti-monopoly law enforcement, protect fair competition in the market and safeguard the interests of consumers.
Fiat Chrysler and Peugeot Citroen will merge soon.
Can "holding a group to keep warm" achieve miraculous results?
Recently, the merger plan of Fiat Chrysler and Peugeot Citroen has been approved by the European Union. Fiat Chrysler and Peugeot Citroen announced their merger plans last year. If the merger is successfully completed, the merged company will rank the fourth largest car company in the world in terms of output, and the total sales volume will leap to the third largest car company in the world.
After the merger, Citroen Group promised to continue to fulfill its agreement with Toyota Motor Corporation of Japan and continue to produce and sell Toyota vans in the European market. In addition, Fiat Chrysler and Peugeot Citroen agreed to open the repair and maintenance of vans to competitors after the merger.
The merger of the two major automobile manufacturers is basically confirmed. The new enterprise will be completely merged by Fiat Chrysler and Peugeot Citroen with a share ratio of 50:50. The new group will be called "Stellantis" group, and will become the fourth largest automobile manufacturer in the world by sales volume, and its CEO will be Carlos Tavares.
Ma Yue:
In recent years, the performance of Peugeot Citroen and Fiat Chrysler in the China market has been continuously depressed. For consumers in China, the merger of the two automakers is more crucial for how to adjust the China market.
Tieniu Group officially went bankrupt.
Zotye accelerates to a "dead end"?
On February 24th, 65438, *ST Zhongtai announced that the company had recently received a civil ruling issued by Yongkang court, and the parent company (actual controller) Tieniu Group was seriously insolvent and lacked the ability of going concern, so it lacked the possibility of salvation. The court ruled as follows: 1. Terminate the reorganization procedure of Tieniu Group Co., Ltd.; 2. Declare Tieniu Group Co., Ltd. bankrupt.
However, *ST Zotye said in the announcement that the company and Tieniu Group remain independent in assets, business and finance. At present, the company's main business is suspended, which will not have a significant impact on daily operations, but the subsequent bankruptcy disposal of Tieniu Group may cause changes in the actual control rights of the company.
After Tieniu Group declared bankruptcy, Zotye Automobile's share price rose by 2. 1%, which shows that everyone's view on this matter is that "Tieniu's bankruptcy is beneficial for new investors to take over, but it makes Zotye Automobile's restructuring smoother." Just like Geely's acquisition of Lifan Automobile some time ago, in addition to making Lifan's liabilities have a certain solvency, Geely's takeover can also bring new technology, strategy and development direction to Lifan Automobile, which may revitalize the brand.
This idea is correct, but it is worth noting that Zotye is not Lifan. Geely's acquisition of Lifan is largely to lay out a new energy exchange strategy, and Lifan itself does have a little accumulation. However, Zotye is different. Looking at Zotye's products, technology and user reputation in recent years, it can be said that Zotye is "poor and white", needing money and no money, without people and technology. Even the existence value of the brand should be marked with a big question mark. Can you find the "recipient"
Ma Yue:
In fact, whether Tieniu Group goes bankrupt or not, Zotye Auto has a hard time. However, once Tieniu Group enters bankruptcy liquidation, it may speed up the delisting of Zotye Automobile. Zotye Automobile, which is now caught in the whirlpool of factory shutdown, performance loss and bankruptcy liquidation of its subsidiaries, is obviously hanging by a thread. Even if it is reorganized, there are still many development uncertainties.
The cause of Tesla's runaway incident was announced.
The owner of the incident continued to step on the gas pedal.
65438+February 18, a Tesla owner posted a video in the "Tesla Friends Interactive Group" saying that the Tesla model he was driving was "out of control". At that time, there was still a certain distance from the taxi in front. I was already slowing down on the brakes, but suddenly the brakes failed and the steering wheel couldn't move. With the rapid acceleration of the vehicle, I continued to accelerate and hit a big truck in front, and was finally stopped by the big truck.
It is worth noting that from the video provided by netizens, when the vehicle gradually approached the taxi in front or collided with two cars, there was no trace of the brake lights "lighting up" until the vehicle finally showed a double flashing warning light.
In response to this accident, Tesla officials have responded that after reading and analyzing the vehicle data, the driver continued to step on the accelerator pedal deeply during the vehicle acceleration and the second collision, and did not step on the brake pedal during the period. At present, it is assisting car owners with insurance claims and vehicle maintenance.
Since May, there have been as many as nine "out-of-control" incidents of Tesla in China, not counting the "out-of-control" incidents abroad. This has also led many Tesla owners to question its reliability, and Tesla's response to all incidents, except for the "U-turn" accident in Beijing in July, was caused by vehicle hardware problems. Tesla said that the vehicles involved were trouble-free, which was caused by improper operation of the owners.
Ma Yue:
This year, Tesla's share price, output and delivery have soared. However, Tesla's product quality problems have not been well solved, and various accidents such as spontaneous combustion still occur frequently around the world.
In this regard, Tesla should reflect on the problems of its own products instead of throwing the "pot" to consumers again and again. Consumers just want to have a safe and comfortable car experience. Even after the accident, Tesla should actively investigate the specific problems of the accident, rather than "crisis public relations" at the first time. Such an approach is undoubtedly chilling consumers step by step.
Four passenger car companies submitted recall information.
Guangben and Dongben recalled more than 654.38+million vehicles.
According to the information of the Defective Product Management Center, this week, ***4 passenger car companies filed the recall information, among which BMW (China) Automobile Trading Co., Ltd. recalled 5 imported M2 cars with the production date from June 5, 2020 to June 22, 2020.
Due to the assembly error of the vehicle involved in this recall, the high-pressure nozzle of the engine may lack decoupling components, which will aggravate the fluctuation of the nozzle and transmit it to the cylinder head, resulting in increased engine noise. Moreover, because there is no decoupling element, the installation position of the fuel nozzle in the cylinder head will be deeper, and the pre-tightening force of the fuel pipeline connected with the fuel nozzle through bolts will increase, which may lead to the vibration and fracture of the welding point of the fuel high-pressure fuel rail, and then lead to fuel overflow, which has fire risks and safety hazards.
Guangqi Honda and Dongfeng Honda issued two recall plans, recalling 1 154936 defective vehicles, including 1088025 fuel vehicles and 6691hybrid vehicles.
The fuel models are some domestic Acura TLX-L, Acura CDX, Acura RDX, Feng Fan, Odyssey, Guandao, Binzhi, produced by Guangqi Honda from 20/KOOC-0/9/KOOC-0 to 20/KOOC-0/9 on September 26th.
Dongfeng Honda XR-V 20 19 to 201119+0.9 produced by some domestic Gleiz, Jinia, Jade, Civic and ENVIX.
Due to the imperfect resin molding conditions in the manufacturing process of fuel pump impeller, the resin density of the impeller is insufficient. The impeller may expand and deform due to the influence of fuel, and interfere with the fuel pump housing, resulting in the fuel pump working badly and unable to supply oil to the engine normally. In extreme cases, the engine may turn off when the vehicle is running, which may cause safety hazards.
The hybrid models are some hybrid Accord, Odyssey, Lingpai and Hao Ying cars produced by Guangqi Honda from September 2065438 15 to May 2065 438+09, with a total of 40737 cars.
Part of the INSPIRE and ELYSION hybrid vehicles produced by Dongfeng Honda from September 20/KOOC-0/9 to May 2020 are 26/KOOC-0/74.
Due to the voltage fluctuation of components in the power converter inside the power control unit (PCU) for controlling the power supply circuit of 12V battery, some vehicles within the scope of this recall may fail and stop supplying power to 12V battery. At this time, the vehicle instrument fault light will light up. If you continue to use the vehicle, the driving motor will stop working in extreme cases, and the vehicle will not run normally, which may have potential safety hazards.
Ford Motor (China) Co., Ltd. recalled some 2,020 imported Lincoln Flyer cars produced from August 24th, 20 19 to September 30th, 20 19, totaling 1339 vehicles.
For the vehicles within the scope of this recall, there may be welding cracks on the rear transmission shaft produced at that time due to overheating and shutdown of the supplier's pipeline welding equipment during production. After long-term use, the rear transmission shaft with welding cracks may break, causing the vehicle to move unexpectedly and lose power; At the same time, if the rear drive shaft breaks and deforms, it may break away from the transmission system, damage the fuel tank and lead to fuel leakage. For example, contact with a fire source after a fuel leak may increase the fire risk, which may pose a safety hazard.
Ma Yue:
In this week's recall plan, BMW's single-digit recall also shows its serious and responsible attitude, but the production and sales of M2 models are relatively limited; Guangzhou Automobile and Dongfeng Honda recalled a huge number of vehicles, exceeding 65,438+065,438+million, covering almost all the models on sale. It is worth noting that in recent years, Japanese car companies and parts companies have frequently exploded quality incidents. Previously, more than 654.38 billion vehicles had been recalled around the world because of Takada's fatal airbag incident, but the harm was not completely eliminated. How long will the "quality myth" of Japanese cars last in the future? Presumably the market will give the answer.
