Car Media Is Helping Suzuki Vitara Car Owner To Fight For Their Rights!

 

Guys. You guys have to watch this. I highly recommend it. I highly respect CarBuyTV taiwan host's 嘉偉哥 that he is willing to stand in for a group of vitara owner to seeks for grievance. Really amicable. He is risking his "sponsorship" or "test drive" opportunity in return of credibility. 

Highly respect!

HAHHAHAHAH. I try arh. . . . 

So at the start of the video, 嘉(偉哥) (I will just call him viagra just for simplicity.🤣) he started with shooting down car brands that starting with "S" that he down mind if they don't support CarBuyTV but he want to show the facts to his viewers.

So here are some of the body panels of the Suzuki Vitara is corroded and rusted.

He have gathered a group of Suzuki Vitara owner and have a meetup. Understanding the owner problem as a middleman and with the help of an independent car workshop that is not affiliated to either party.

Interviewing the car owner in a constructive way and hope that the AD will be looking into these matters to help the owners.

Agar agar is like this lah. 🤣

I give a summary of the video and the discussion.

1) Jiawei is quite famous Youtube car reviewer in Taiwan/China and one of the pioneers in this area. He had previously helped to highlight Subaru dashboard cracking issues for aggrieved owners and thus got banned by Subaru Taiwan disti.

2) Some Suzuki Vitara owners in TW discovered rust spots in doors (all 4 doors and rear hatch) in areas such as under rubber seals and also in some chassis areas. Most are new cars around 1-4 years. Note that their LHD cars are built in Europe, not Japan.

3) They escalate to their local region agent (there are a few across TW), their beef is that the response and remediation is inconsistent and CMI. Some agents simply dab on paint touchup to cover the spots, some try to do respay over (half-f**k with lots of overspray), some actually get to change the door.

4) Jiawei tried to reach out to his contacts in Suzuki disti and they basically go radio silence on him.

5) So now they go public to mass media to get Suzuki TW to face up to this issues.

easier way would be to cleared off the rust and rustproof it and then air brush it over. But you can never tell if other parts of the body have also started to rust.

Jamesc, we know you are showing your filial piety and the colour is also your mil's favourite colour, but the burnt shell of the Vitara does not show it is Grand. 

Take my advice, buy from Modi. The most important thing is to ensure it engine can fire up (read catch fire) easily and make sure the doors have autolock function. When your mil receives this gift, I am sure she would not wait to take it for a spin. All your problems solved!😋
