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 litre 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.

Responsible manufacturer….
'good' job and good job!
good job and will still slightly dent the image. But Lexus too has callbacks
Another phototstat machine!!..
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 ?
dis is call made in china .
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.
I am seriouslty considering buying a Tiggo, thus forum such this helps me is determining my decision. Therefore , my forum pals , do you think this chery tiggo will be value for money.I am not one of those guys who rely on majority perception about chinese made cars. If china can send their citizen ,to space what so great about making cars escpecially with their new Acteco Engines.
Any Comment?
I bought a Tiggo in 2008, a few complaint, steering got noise when turning, got sound on the wheel while driving like 2 pc of metal rubbing each other, spare tyre cover can’t latch properly, the rubber used to control aircon and temperature melt and sticky, tyre very noisy while driving on the road, and with all these, i felt very ashamed of buying and driving Tiggo, although it is cheap, no quality control at all!!
i saw this car and want buy it but i wana more specification about the enginein ,acteco from any company that produced car and its good or not.
i want to buy the cherry tiggo t11 but with the comment that i get i rely dont know what to do course people complaint about the noise on the wheels ,the sterring wheel is hard and also the air con button melted and i want to know about the acteco engine
I have a Chery Tiggo and I have had numerous problems with my car from the gearbox to extensive rusting, service light has been on since I got it, were they are unable to reset it. There is a light that comes on that looks like a flower with an explanation make…. I have to pull over turn the ignition off and then turn it back on in order for the light to go off… I’ve had to do this as most as 3 times on one several occasions before the light goes off.
I see where you have mentioned the car was recalled but 80 of them were exports.. Do you know if Bermuda was one of those countries that could have received these cars?
