Jakarta –
The South Jakarta District Court (PN) rejected the consumer lawsuit of DFSK Glory 580 who demanded compensation because his car could not climb. This case has been rolling since the end of 2020.
At that time, seven consumers using the 2018 DFSK Glory 580 Turbo CVT filed a lawsuit to PT Sokonindo Automobile as the agent of the DFSK Brand Holder (APM) in Indonesia. The seven DFSK consumers filed a lawsuit against the law against PT Sokonindo Automobile as the ATPM and the manufacturer. Also to six other parties as DFSK dealers and authorized workshops. The lawsuit was submitted through David Tobing’s attorney, who was registered by e-court (online) at the South Jakarta District Court with registration number: PN JKT.SEL-122020BS2 on December 3, 2020.
The consumer complained that the 2018 DFSK Glory 580 Turbo CVT car was not strong enough to climb. It was stated that the vehicle experienced problems when walking on an incline and/or when on an uphill traffic jam (stop & go), both when used outside the city or in the mall parking lot.
“Our client bought the DFSK Glory 580 Turbo CVT because he was interested in the specifications and facilities offered, moreover this car has a turbo which should have better power than cars in its class that don’t have a turbo, but our client has failed to climb an average of more than 2 times. This makes our clients afraid to use a vehicle to travel or when on an uphill road,” said David Tobing in a press release when he filed a lawsuit in December 2020.
He considered that the vehicle had a hidden defect, which put the car owner’s consumer and other people in danger because it could cause a fatal accident.
The consumer of the DFSK Glory 580 car is said to have reported and made repairs at the official DFSK workshop. However, the vehicle is still experiencing the same problem, namely not being able to walk on an incline and/or when in an uphill traffic jam (stop & go).
The seven DFSK consumers demanded material and immaterial compensation. The demands are material compensation of Rp. 1,959,000,000 (one billion nine hundred and fifty nine million Rupiah), which is the total purchase price of Consumer Vehicles and immaterial compensation of Rp. 1,000,000,000 (one billion Rupiah), to each the consumers so that if the total immaterial loss becomes Rp. 7,000,000,000 (seven billion Rupiah), because the Consumers have experienced feelings of worry, fear while using the vehicle and also the time, thought and energy run out while experiencing problems with their vehicle.
Now, the South Jakarta District Court has knocked on the hammer announcing the court’s decision against the lawsuits of the seven DFSK consumers. In its decision, the South Jakarta District Court rejected the DFSK consumer’s lawsuit, which sued because the car was not strong enough to climb.
The verdict was hammered on May 31, 2022. The South Jakarta District Court decided to reject the entire lawsuit.
“Rejecting the Plaintiffs’ Lawsuits in its entirety,” wrote the South Jakarta District Court’s decision against the lawsuits of 7 DFSK consumers as quoted from the South Jakarta District Court Case Investigation Information System.
In addition, the South Jakarta District Court also ordered the plaintiff to pay all costs incurred in this case. Until the day of the verdict, the plaintiff was sentenced to pay Rp. 1.4 million.
“To punish the Plaintiff in the Defense / Defendant in the Counterclaim to pay all costs incurred in this case, which to date have been estimated at Rp. 1,488,000.00 (one million four hundred and eighty-eight thousand rupiah),” he wrote.
