Changan UNI-T
Since its launch, Changan UNI-T has won a large number of consumers’ favor with its high appearance and technological design, but behind the dazzling facade, quality problems occur frequently and are frequently complained by car owners. Unlike most car complaints, the reasons for the complaints of this car are diverse, including false advertising, gearbox jolting, battery discharge, car machine jamming, black screen of car machine screen, and parts downgrading.

Car machine jamming: The car machine system of UNI-T often jams and crashes, and the frequent upgrades make the overall use experience unsatisfactory. This directly discourages most people.

The vehicle will have a jerky power output during acceleration, especially at a speed of around 30 km/h, and with the passage of time, the frequency of the jolting increases significantly.
-
Downgraded functions: Car owners feedback that the actual car not only does not have the advertised L3 level autonomous driving function, but also other functions have been downgraded. In addition, before the launch, the official propaganda stated that “the driver’s seat and the co-driver’s seat are equipped with makeup mirrors and makeup lamps”, but the final production models did not have them.
Chery Tiggo 8 Series
The whole Chery Tiggo 8 series is also the object of complaint for many consumers. The complaint problems of Tiggo 8 series are mainly in product quality and product design.
In terms of product quality, Tiggo 8 series is no worse than Changan UNI-T, and the problems are mainly concentrated in the body accessories and electrical appliances, as well as the engine/motor, mainly reflected in the car machine black screen, crash, frequent restarts, etc. This is also one of the hot issues of complaints received by domestic brand models in2022. The engine mainly shows typical problems such as abnormal noise and vibration.的冰山一角，事实上，汽车行业存在诸多问题，例如环保、安全、性能等方面。但无论是哪个方面的问题，都需要从制造商、政府、消费者三个角度共同努力，寻找最优解，为行业的可持续发展作出努力。The tip of the iceberg – If these car models’ issues cannot be effectively addressed and curbed from the root, as the scale of car consumption continues to grow, related problems will become more and more frequent. So apart from the problems of the above-mentioned car models, what other car models do you think have a higher chance of making the list?
