The owner of the car, mr. Choi, had to replace the engine as a result of a water-related accident. He then carried out repairs at a mercedes 4s shop in henan county, where the vehicle was taken less than a month later and the engine exploded. After a few weeks, the owner learned that there was an important part of the engine that had been replaced by 4s. - it's a "no product" found online。
How can there be “three products” at the authorized regular 4s maintenance in mercedes? How did the fake car core parts get into a mercedes-authorized 4s
Henan zhengzhou: what's it like to steal a beam for a pole
Mr. Choi of henanzhou drove a mercedes for only one year, causing damage to the engine tank as a result of a heavy rain. After asking for a price for the four mercedes 4s stores in zhengzhou, the insurance company staff eventually selected a mercedes 4s store called zhengzhou, which offered a maintenance programme that not only met the need to replace the medium tank but also promised to use the original plant spare parts。
After more than two months of maintenance, mr. Zai processed the lifting at the end of september。
On the twenty-first day following mr. Choi's lifting of the car, the temperature of the vehicle's water tank appeared on the high-speed drive, and the vehicle was completely anchored on its way to the 4s shop and dragged to the roller-up mercedes, confirming that the failure to install the hose button resulted in a leak of anti-frozen fluid and eventually the engine burst into the tank. With regard to the liability for the accident, the rollover is believed to have been caused by the improper driving of the driver and does not wish to bear the repair costs again。
Mr. Cai: i spent $156,000 on a bus, the pipes were not installed, the driver was responsible? Let me fix my own car
Mr. Zai reported his case to the authorities, which was admitted and opened an investigation at the end of 2017. The investigators soon discovered that the engine explosion had been caused by a major repair of the engine, the most important part of which was the engine。
The original motor number of the owner's vehicle and the replacement engine number of the maintenance were identical. What we usually call engines is the sum of engines, and as one of the core parts of the total, the mid-cylinder is the key to sustaining piston combustion to turn heat into power. Each vehicle's motor count has a unique identification number, which was beaten on the side wall of the mid-cylinder before leaving the factory and, once installed on the vehicle, is also reflected in the vehicle's driving and motor vehicle registration cards. In other words, if the vehicle is replaced by a new engine, then there will necessarily be a new engine identification number on the side wall of the medium tank。
After further investigation, law enforcement officers learned that benz china, as the sole supplier of the original plant spare parts, did not supply the medium-cylinder fittings alone, but only the engine, which was confirmed in the supporting documentation produced by benz china in cooperation with law enforcement investigations. Liu da yong, the managing director of the renaissance, acknowledged this fact in his inquiry。
Accompaniment purchaser, 4s-s's "sling pot" insurance company
If it is clear to me that the supplier “benz china” does not provide a medium-cylinder fitting alone, why should zhengzhou accept the insurance company’s plan for repairing 4s? And how does a replacement mid-cylinder have the same engine number as the driver's license? As investigations deepen, the problems are becoming more and more exposed。
In an interview with a journalist, liu da yong, director-general of the renaissance, stated that the insurance company had ordered them to go to the garden and buy a mid-cylinder fitting。
Following further calls for information on the supply order, law enforcement officials locked up a supplier company, zhengzhou gardens, located at tianjin motor square in zhengzhou. The company's project manager admitted that the mid-cylinder parts had indeed been supplied to the roller。
According to the manager of the vendor's gardening company, mr. Choi's mid-cylinder was a common old payment. In order to avoid retroactive inquiries, the identification number attached to the factory would be worn out by the seller and the manager gave a statement as to why the same engine number appeared on the mid-cylinder。
Mr. Ann, manager of zhengzhou gardens: they said they didn't have engine numbers, the insurance company didn't report it, as if the car was in trouble, and we contacted the market for engine numbers, and they asked to fight, and their manager came and called。
The insurance company issued to law enforcement officials a cooperation agreement for the maintenance of insurance accident vehicles, a framework agreement between the two parties in determining the cooperation. It was expressly agreed in the agreement that the forwarding mercedes would be required to use the original plant spare parts for the repair of the accident vehicles insured by insurance companies。
We're going to make a lot of money
The use of spare parts purchased through informal channels to repair cars for clients, and the actions of the 4s store, have led us to be inquisitive. What is even more incomprehensible is how this trinket bypasses the strict management of mercedes and appears in the list of 4s maintenance systems
The supplier security manager disclosed to law enforcement officials that the rate of increase was much higher than the mid-cylinder of the benz plant spare parts, which they had picked up online。
Journalists entered two key words, mercedes, mid-cylinder, on the internet buying platform
There are nearly a thousand vendors and the prices shown range from dozens to tens of thousands。
On the basis of the documents obtained during the investigation, the law enforcement officers combed the flow path for this medium-cylinder fitting, first purchasing a general-purpose medium-cylinder fitting on the web by gardening companies, and then selling it to a car sales service called zhengzhou srating, at a price of $8,900, and then selling it to the forwarding mercedes at a price of $19,222。
The law enforcement officers learned from the search of the business registration information that the company registered to be moving to mercedes was known as zhengzhou forward vehicle sales services ltd., and that four other companies were associated with it, which included zhengzhou swing vehicle sales services ltd., which was involved in the procurement of mid-cylinder accessories。
During the investigation by the law enforcement officials, renaissance tried twice to reconcile with mr. Choi and agreed to compensate him for a new vehicle, provided that mr. Choi signed a confidentiality agreement。
Mr. Choi: he said you left me alone, tried to withdraw the complaint and paid for a new car, but you had to sign an agreement that you knew that the parts i had changed were fake and not products, and you have to admit that i said it was impossible。
The zhengzhou municipal market supervisory authority finally found that zhengzhou had committed a violation of consumer rights and interests, and in april 2019 issued an administrative penalty of $20,443 for confiscation of illegal proceeds and a fine of $244,300. Following the decision to impose the penalty, zhengzhou retrenched and appealed to the court following the rejection of the administrative review before the people's government of zhengzhou city. Finally, on 8 may this year, the zhengzhou intermediate people's court ruled in favour of the administrative penalty decision of the zhengzhou city market supervisory authority。
Court enforces 420 grand from 4s. Fine. Paragraph
Following the court's final decision, renaissance paid a fine of $420,000 until 1 july of this year, after the court had issued an enforcement notice。
