Cheetah CS10 brake problem continues to ferment car owners hold group rights

On September 6th, 2016, Car Quality Network reported on the faults in the Cheetah CS10 brake system [see details: The fault of the Cheetah CS10 brake system is related to the safety needs to be solved], in which the soft brake problem has caused widespread concern. However, manufacturers have never responded positively to this. Nearly a year after the lapse, the soft brake problem of the Cheetah CS10 continued to ferment, and the amount of relevant complaints collected by the car quality network has increased by more than ten times. In the face of very obvious security risks, the near-ignoring attitude adopted by Cheetah Motor has triggered more anger among car owners.

Chongqing Che Youhui 300 owners jointly complained about the annoying brake problem of Cheetah CS10

Recently, more than 300 owners of the Cheetah CS10 Chongqing Che Youhui Association provided a letter of complaint of more than 2,000 words to the car quality network on the issue of Cheetah CS10 brakes. In the complaint letter, the owner of the vehicle, Mr. He said that this time the owner chose to make a joint complaint instead of taking part in disturbances, blocking the 4S shop door, parading, and other excessive rights protection activities, in order to let the manufacturers pay attention to the quality of feedback from the owners, not to Let the people lose their trust in the military industry. It can be seen that the owner of the Cheetah manufacturers "deep love, love the cut", still hold a glimmer of hope.

Cheetah CS10 Chongqing Che Youhui joint complaint letter

In the complaint letter, the Cheetah CS10 owner listed ten vehicle breakdown problems. In the words of the owner, “the problem of soft brakes should be the biggest knot of Cheetah CS10 Cheyou.” According to the owners, the Cheetah CS10 brakes are not ordinary and the braking distance is very long. Complaint information of the car quality network shows that there are indeed many CS10 owners who have been involved in some rear-end accidents. For example, Mr. Xin from Guangdong has vividly remembered the thrilling scene. After a sudden drive in front of the driver, he stepped on the brake pedal with full force but the vehicle still “goes all the way” without stopping. meaning. Seeing that it was about to crash, Mr. Yong almost stood in the car and tried his best to step on the pedal. The vehicle was slowly stopped at less than 1 meter from the front of the car. Today, Mr. Xin still has a lingering fear on the braking force of Cheetah CS10. It can be said that this experience has given him a certain psychological shadow.

While the majority of owners have complained that the Cheetah CS10 brake is soft, the explanation given by the 4S shop staff is that the so-called soft brake is not a quality problem, because the Cheetah CS10 vehicle has a relatively large weight, so the braking distance Long is a "normal phenomenon." However, the owners did not agree with this statement. A car owner who claims to be an "old driver" said, "This kind of brake is still encountered for the first time. Even a van can't match it. It's ashamed to say it."

Manufacturers do not dare to face? Cheetah CS10 brake soft end of the final accident

In the face of a large amount of relevant information that broke out in the car quality network and other automobile forums in the past year, the Cheetah manufacturers seem to be very calm and have not faced the soft side of the Cheetah CS10 brake so far. On the Internet, however, it is possible to see some remarks that are biased towards the manufacturers of Cheetah, in an attempt to persuade the majority of owners to believe that such a design is considered for comfort and that there is no problem of so-called soft brakes. So, does the fact really resemble the "normal phenomenon" of 4S shop staff or the Internet? In fact, at least from the current complaints received by the car quality network and the accident case that broke out in the forum, the soft brake problem of the Cheetah CS10 has seriously threatened the driving safety of the owners.

From the two accidents shown on the screenshot, the speed of the vehicles was about 70-80km/h at the time of the incident. This kind of driving scene is sure to be commonplace in daily life. When the owner of the vehicle encountered an emergency, when the driver pressed the brake pedal in an emergency, the vehicle was still “unable to stop.” Eventually a rear-end collision occurred. It can be seen that the so-called consideration of the vehicle's self-importance and comfort is far from the actual situation.

Coincidentally, in a recent media report, it also intuitively felt to what extent the brakes of the Cheetah CS10 were "soft." An owner of the Cheetah CS10 vehicle said in an interview that when the vehicle travels at a speed of 30-40km/h, there will be a rear-end collision due to a soft braking problem. In this regard, the media did a brake test for the Cheetah CS10. In order to restore the situation at that time, the test speed was set to 30-40 km/h, and the final test result was shocking. The Cheetah CS10's brake distance is 37 meters (other models under the same conditions, the test distance is only 17 meters), this result is even close to the brake test distance of some models 100-0 km / h. In other words, this means that if there is an incident in front of the road, the Cheetah CS10 must maintain a distance of at least 20 meters from the vehicle in front, so that it may be possible to avoid rear-end accidents. However, this is not practical in the daily driving process.

The manufacturer did not publicize the plan to replace the brake master pump in a small area

In the 2016 Car Quality Network related report, it was mentioned that after a certain car website cheetah CS10 forum, some netizens stated that they had replaced the so-called “strong drums,” the vehicle braking force was greatly improved compared with the previous. Since then, the car quality network also learned in the complaint return visit, although the current Cheetah manufacturers and 4S stores strongly denied the existence of "brake soft" fault, and claimed that no corresponding solutions. However, according to the owner of the news, after the manufacturers did replace the Bosch brake master pump for some owners, but because there is no publicity, resulting in the majority of Cheetah CS10 owners do not know this.

The owner of the Chongqing area, Mr. Li, once stated in the complaint that the Cheetah CS10 brake master cylinder has quality problems and the brake pressure is obviously insufficient. The manufacturer is required to replace the Bosch brake master cylinder. When the staff of the car quality network made a return visit, they learned that Mr. Li’s group of Cheyous had already been replaced by the treatment of the Bosch brake master cylinder, and the 4S shop clearly informed that this was a small-scale replacement of the factory, which involved about 20-30. Cars are mostly concentrated in the Chongqing area. At present, it seems that the solution of the replacement of the Bosch brake master cylinder by the Cheetah manufacturers has already been suspended. Whether it is due to cost considerations or another reason, it may only be clear to the manufacturers themselves.

New car replacement large brake disc manufacturers "啪啪" face

On the one hand, 4S shop instills the vehicle "brake soft" to the owner is not a problem, but on the other hand, the manufacturer secretly replaces the brake master cylinder for some owners, this paradoxical practice is puzzling. Not long ago, the practice of replacing the "large" brake discs by the manufacturers for the 2017 Cheetah CS10 new car caused an uproar among car owners.

According to a vehicle owner from Yunnan, Mr. He broke the news in the complaint. At present, manufacturers have replaced the large-size brake discs of the Cheetah CS10 produced after April 2017. From the above comparison chart, it can be clearly seen that the new car brake disc size changes. It can be seen that Cheetah manufacturers have realized that the Cheetah CS10 brake is soft and have found an effective solution, otherwise it will not make improvements to the vehicle brake system produced after April. At present, due to manufacturers of large-size brake discs to change the new car, and the old owners to take careless approach, causing a strong dissatisfaction with the majority of owners, which is why cheetah CS10 brake softening complaints continued to increase the number of reasons.

Looking at the development of the Cheetah CS10 “brake soft” problem, it can be said that the manufacturers are not unaware of this and there are no remedial measures in the later period. Why then can we not fundamentally eliminate product safety defects in accordance with relevant national regulations? After all, a large number of facts have proven that the issue of Cheetah CS10's "brake softening" has actually affected day-to-day driving safety. Regardless of the law, Cheetah manufacturers should respond quickly and recall as soon as possible for owners. Solve this "hard problem."
