Chery recalls 1,875 Chery T11 Tiggo SUVs
Chery Automobile Co. Ltd has shown signs of being a responsible car manufacturer that intends to stick around, rather than taking the “make fast profits and ignore issues like brand building and after sales support” approach that many others have adopted with their shitty deathtraps.
A recall notice has been issued for the Chery T11 Tiggo SUV, a unique visual blend of the 2nd generation Toyota RAV4 and the 2nd generation Honda CR-V which uses Mitsubishi 2.0 and 2.4 liter engines. The recall affects 1,875 of the Chery Tiggo SUVs with automatic transmissions, of which 80 are for the export market. The faulty component involves a fan controller which needs to be repaired. The faulty fan controller might cause engine failure, likely due to overheating.

At least they didnt wait for years and thousand of outcry like the Perdana gearbox problem.

It’s a responsible car manufacturer. At least they know what has gone wrong and willing to replace the faulty parts. Not like our ‘Proton’ national car, keep ignoring their customer complaint and unwilling to replace to faulty parts. shame……

So i will buy a Chery instead of the “stone head” P1….
Never realize their mistake… Never acknowledge…
Never admit… Never recall… Never!
i think P1 did done some sort of “soft recall” before, on WAJA brakes/handbrake issues when its initial launched and also the recent SportRims issue(certain lot no. have problem)…. they just said, they will check when owner send back to do service… P1 advert a notice and also post mail to notify owners about it…
BUT for Power Window issues NEVER!!! Fragile Door Handle NEVER!!! & etc…
BUT for PERDANA Gear Box issue NEVER!!!
What else ?

i think most, if not all car manufacturers will never do a recall for a defect that is not “life threatening” or cause the car to fail mechanically.
those items mentioned, like power windows, door handles, gearbox..etc.. are usually problems solved by warranty claims..etc. (which of course was handled badly in proton’s case)
but of course, when proton does a recall, its condemned, but when another manufacturer does it, its “responsible”.

transformer, you are right and give a fair comment on P1.
But to honda_driver, you argue on what you termed in your previous comment under “siaran tergendala” thread as “thin air” as in the event P1 recall to fix any faulty parts/components, no one in a sound mind will “condemn” P1. Your last statement look like make a comment without justification.
If P1 anounce in the public or through mass media to recall all P1 car to fix faulty window power, I am the first to praise this effort and will try to be te first as well to fix my faulty Waja power window.
When mentioned about warranty (normally apply to “minor component”) or guarantee (normally apply to “major component”), this principle apply is to gain customer confident and to show to the market that they committed to high quality products. In any manufacturing process for any products, there must be “failure” component that may defined under “normal distribution @ 95 +- 5%”, part per million (PPM) or the like that bespoke in statistician/engineering/management science principle. Warranty or guarantee is to address these “exceptional but negligible failures” that in any manufacturing process, practically there are no 100% success rate in production.
In P1 case, the rate of failure for their certain component like door handle, power window, absorber, etc is NOT fall under stringent quality control as above-mentioned but fall under minimum quality as normally practice in auto industy! Therefore, these components normally function within warranty period (i.e. 1 year) rather than design to highest quality with maximum life span (e.g. absorber or power window can be easily last more than 5 years).

proton did make announcements in the past to recall, or ’silent recall’ or whatever you want to call it, and yes, they were pretty much condemned for it, especially so in the forums and blogs. so yes, i dont think i’m making a comment without justification.. its history, i didn’t make it up.
so what exactly is your point? What has proton parts failing under mininum quality standards got to do with recalling a vehicle?
besides, i still dont think any manufacturer will “recall” a car for a non-life threatening issues.. thats supposed to be taken care of by the warranty system, which in proton’s case, doesn’t mean anything, because a defective power window is replaced under warranty by yet another power window. If they did recall a car for a Massively high incident of power window failure, the above will still happen.

just coz they made one recall doesnt mean anything. labour so cheap they profit like mad selling these cheap cars. yes….made in china. so avoid.
