“Our client bought the DFSK Glory 580 Turbo CVT car because he was interested in the specifications and facilities offered, especially since this car has a turbo which should have better power than a car in its class that does not have a turbo, but our clients experience more failure to climb on average. of 2 times. This makes our clients afraid to use the vehicle to travel or when on an uphill road, “said David.
He explained that the vehicles of consumers that are bought and used by consumers are not suitable for use because they do not have good power when driving on hilly conditions.
“This is proof that the consumer’s vehicle produced and sold by DFSK is a vehicle that contains hidden defects. This is very dangerous for consumers because it can lead to fatal accidents when consumers drive it and can endanger other parties,” he said.
DFSK is deemed to have violated the Civil Code, the Consumer Protection Law and the Regulation of the Minister of Transportation of the Republic of Indonesia Number PM 33 of 2018, Regarding Testing of Motor Vehicle Types Article 18 points b and c regarding tests for engine work and roadability testing, where DFSK is prohibited from trading goods that contain hidden defects and must be responsible for the losses of consumers, continued David.

This value is the total purchase price of Consumer Vehicles and immaterial compensation of IDR 1,000,000,000.00 (one billion Rupiah) to each of the Consumers so that if the total immaterial loss becomes IDR 7 billion because Consumers have experienced feelings of worry, fear during use vehicles and also the exhaustion of time, thought and energy during experiencing problems with the vehicle.
