(8 years ago)The biggest German manufacturer and one of the world's leading car producers, the Volkswagen Group, will pull about 75 thousand cars from the market of VW Polo models, Seat Ibiza and Seat Anga, after a Finnish car magazine found that these cars have problems with the seat belt. The company has declared that cars [...]
The company has declared that cars will undergo a regulation, and all owners who have already bought them can send them to authorized sales points, to receive no additional costs later. The driver's test in Finland showed that when three travelers are sitting in the back seat of the car and when the car turns into rough turns, the seat belt in the middle seat does not function and is not tightened.
German manufacturer officials said these tests present isolated cases and that this problem was not reported on other cars. A group of clients have asked why the company has already sold about 55 thousand such cars since May, when the problem was identified.
The leader of the group of pounds, Alex Neil, said the decision not to cut sales after identifying the problem has now put many drivers and travelers at risk. However, it wasn't reported to hurt from this car problem so far. The company's headquarters in Britain has guaranteed that owners affected by this problem can send their cars to adjust to the nearest retail points, writes the Guardian”
