Frequent quality problems! Ideal L9 is really sorry for Li's boasting.

New energy vehicles are the hottest sub-category in the domestic market in recent two years. The increasing market penetration rate year by year also shows that consumers are more and more accepting of new energy vehicles. The promotion of sales volume and the richness of products will also bring various quality problems. Frequent failures of new energy vehicles will also make consumers have great doubts about the trust of new energy vehicles.

In particular, new power brands with little experience in building cars have frequent quality problems. For example, Li Company has serious defects in product quality and safety. Although the new models introduced by Li Company are very popular recently, Li Company is not "ideal" in terms of quality.

The spontaneous combustion event continues.

Ideal is really "hot"

For new energy vehicles, the most shocking thing is undoubtedly the problem of spontaneous combustion. In the past year, Li experienced many auto spontaneous combustion incidents.

In February 2022, a Li ONE collided with a cement pier in the middle of the road and spontaneously ignited. In the same month, another incident occurred in which Li ONE caught fire in the parking lot.

In August 2022, a Li ONE caught fire on the Leya Expressway in Sichuan;

On June 5, 2022, 165438+ Chengdu-Chongqing Ring Expressway, a Li Yi car caught fire and smoked;

In addition to Li ONE, an ideal L9 caught fire on a road in Jinan, Shandong Province at the end of June, 2023 at 5438+ 10.

From the old model to the new flagship, Li is really "fire" from the beginning to the end. But for spontaneous combustion, Li always seems to like to find problems from the owner. For example, in response to the fire incident on Liyi Road of Leya Expressway in Sichuan in August 2022, Li clearly stated: "We believe that the fire was not caused by the quality of the vehicle ... not by the vehicle itself. We suspect that there are flammable and explosive substances in the car and they are ignited. "

There was no relevant certificate issued by a third-party organization, and there was no investigation by an authoritative organization. Li suspected the owner for the first time. Regardless of the quality, this attitude of throwing the pot first is really flattering.

The spontaneous combustion event of the ideal L9 at the beginning of the year was also quite strange. From the online video screenshots and live photos, this ideal L9 should be a fire at the front of the car, and it is basically scrapped after the fire is extinguished.

According to online video screenshots and live photos, the fire point of the car is suspected to be in the front of the car. After being put out, the whole vehicle was seriously damaged and basically in a state of scrapping. In addition, there is a screenshot of a chat circulating on the Internet. A person suspected to be the owner of a self-igniting vehicle said in the "Ideal L9 Tai 'an Owner's Exclusive Group" that when the vehicle was driving, it gave a "bang" and prompted "brake failure", and the driver pulled over and started to burn in less than 1 minute. At present, Li officially responded that "the local fire department has intervened, and the specific cause of the accident needs to wait for further investigation and analysis by the fire department."

Whether the problem of spontaneous combustion lies in the quality of the vehicle itself or the improper operation of the owner cannot give an accurate answer at present. But such frequent spontaneous combustion events are definitely not accidental events.

Ideal L9 electronic auxiliary fault

"5 million is the best" became a joke.

Spontaneous combustion is just one of many problems of the ideal L9, which is called "the best flagship SUV for domestic use within 5 million", and there are more quality problems.

In July, 2022, an ideal L9 passed through a deep pit of more than 20 cm at a speed of 90km/h, which caused the internal buffer ring of the air spring to be damaged. At that time, this incident caused great controversy, and netizens began to question Li's quality.

Passing through a deep pit at high speed is really a test of the shock absorption system. But for the ideal L950,000-class quality known as "the best flagship SUV for home use in 5 million years", is this true? People can't help but suspect that the ideal L9 is just a fake flagship product with empty gimmicks.

At that time, the official explanation given by Li was that the strength of the buffer ring used in this test drive was low, and the strength of the actual production version would increase by 2.5 times. Now is the test drive stage, and we are still using different parts from the production version ... Is the ideal L9 a semi-finished product or a temporary adjustment? We don't know.

The picture comes from the internet.

But even the production model, the ideal L9 has no problem. On March 4th, an ideal L9 owner from Beijing was driving on a mountain road and found that the steering wheel wouldn't turn when turning. Then Li's customer service called and said that the backstage detected a fault and called a trailer.

The owner revealed that the speed was not very fast at that time, otherwise there would be a danger of rushing down the mountain road. In the video, the owner also asked: "You told me that this is the best SUV within 5 million?" It should be emphasized that this ideal L9 has only been picked up for three days.

At present, Li responded: "I have not received a phone call reflecting this situation before. The specific reason needs to be checked in the store to know. After the inspection results come out, they will communicate with users. "

Actually, it's not the first time that the steering wheel of the ideal L9 has failed. As early as last year, the ideal L9 lost its steering wheel power during an elk test in 165438+ 10.

Li officially gave a test drive this time, saying that the problematic media test drive was due to the problem of the underlying program of the vehicle electric steering gear, which required offline operation, and the fault could be solved after upgrading.

The ideal L9, which has a high position for itself, does not do well in overall quality control and workmanship. Some time ago, an ideal L9 was short-circuited because of "one bubble of urine". According to the owner's description, "New Year's Day brought a family to the Shenzhen service center Li Punch. Because the child's urine burned out the rear control module under the ideal L9 right rear third row seat. " "No one said that there was no water in the back seat after delivery, product and after sale. If there is such a consequence, I will never let the children sit in the third row. I hope that the follow-up products can improve the waterproof performance of this piece, and I hope that this defect can be fixed in the later stage to avoid the loss of more users. " Obviously, for a flagship SUV positioned at home, such workmanship is unacceptable.

Although Mr. Li has a reason, problems such as broken axle, spontaneous combustion and steering wheel failure should not be concentrated on a car that even Rolls-Royce Cullinan is not afraid of. Although the heat is very high, the ideal L9 with frequent problems is definitely not a good car.

Che Shu concluded

In the past two years, the sales trend of Li Company is still very good, but with the increase of sales volume, the quality of products should also be paid attention to. The ideal of focusing on family dad's car should be to help family cars provide convenient products, not products that increase congestion. Especially in terms of quality and safety, if Li doesn't pay attention to product quality and actively solve problems, I'm afraid he will soon be squeezed out of the first echelon of the new force of building cars.
