I bought a new car in August 2023, expecting safety and reliability. Unfortunately, my experience has been nothing short of a nightmare. While driving at a modest speed of 40 km/h, a calf ran in front of my car, resulting in a minor collision. To my shock, the car immediately caught fire, leading to its total destruction. Thankfully, I escaped unhurt, and the calf was also unharmed.
Despite the minor nature of the accident, the car’s catastrophic response was alarming. Even more disappointing was the manufacturer's response. Instead of addressing the serious safety concern, they consistently blamed me with invalid reasons, showing a complete lack of accountability.
After months of struggle, I managed to recover only half the car's value through insurance. The other half is a total loss. The car not only failed to provide basic safety but also cost me heavily, both financially and emotionally. The manufacturer’s poor handling of the situation only added to my distress.
I strongly advise against purchasing this car. My experience has been a costly lesson in the importance of safety and manufacturer responsibility, both of which were sorely lacking in this case.
