Recently, it has been reported that all 4S stores of WM Motor in Hainan have been closed. Many car owners have expressed concern about the prospects of WM Motor and asked if they can apply for return of their cars if WM Motor has closed down. In fact, according to the relevant laws and regulations, consumers cannot apply for the return of the car on the grounds of the bankruptcy of the car company.
If you really want to return the car, you need to refer to the return standard on the vehicle three-guarantee certificate, and you can apply for a car return if you meet any of the following conditions:
1. During the validity period of the three guarantees, the vehicle has been returned to the factory for maintenance twice due to serious safety performance failures, and the failures cannot be eliminated;
2. The same part of the body, suspension system, front and rear axles, brake system, and steering system has quality problems, and has been replaced twice in total;
3. The gearbox and engine have been replaced twice in total, or the engine and gearbox have been replaced twice due to parts quality problems, but they still cannot be used normally;
4. The vehicle has been repaired more than 5 times for the same fault, the cumulative repair time has exceeded 35 days, and the fault of the same component has caused the vehicle to be returned to the factory for repairs for more than 5 times;
5. Within 60 days from the date when the 4S store issues the car purchase invoice to the consumer or within 3,000 kilometers of mileage (whichever comes first), the vehicle has body cracks, fuel leakage, brake system failure, and steering system failure.
According to a number of Weimar car owners, their cars have actually undergone many repairs, but new problems continue to appear. If the vehicle meets the above return standards, it is recommended to call Weimar customer service at 400-699-9666 as soon as possible to handle the return Regarding the car issue, if you wait until Weimar really goes bankrupt and then apply for the return of the car through the three-guarantee certificate, then there is a high probability that it will not be successful.
What should we do after Weimar goes bankrupt?
If Weimar really goes bankrupt, car owners may need to go to other third-party auto repair shops to obtain after-sales service, but even if it really goes bankrupt, Weimar may still retain a small number of after-sales service outlets, or hand over after-sales service to a third party Responsible for undertaking, it will be clearly marked in the company's bankruptcy announcement at that time.
In addition, according to the relevant provisions of the "Implementation Measures for Automobile Brand Sales Management", even if a car company goes bankrupt or withdraws from the market, the manufacturer must guarantee the supply of parts and components for the corresponding model within 10 years. If Weimar really goes bankrupt in 2023, then it needs Ensure the normal supply of vehicle parts until 2033.
As for what to do with the lifetime warranty after bankruptcy, there is a high probability that it will be difficult to continue to honor it. After all, Borgward has already learned from the past. After the manufacturer filed for bankruptcy, the car owners’ cars were completely left alone. The so-called lifetime warranty was closed when the manufacturer closed down. After that is empty talk.
