dont ever deal with them. you will be sorry.

<p>I bought a NEW foton Thunda from Imperial select in Gezina.<br />I asked the dealer if the car is reliable and is there parts available. The dealer promise.<br />After I receive the vehicle I discover the following problems:<br />If I start the vehicle it smoke a lot<br />The vehicle got no power, cant pull away at a uphill.<br />The back light is broken and glued together, one piece missing.<br />The gear knob is replaced with a new very old one. <br />I took it in and they told me there is nothing wrong. They must order the light and knob. after a week when I phoned they said they must import the light ( no parts available)<br />Other problems on this brand new vehicle is:<br />The seats is so burned and damaged in the sun that the sail come out.<br />The right side the body is bend, look if the car was jacked to work under the car.<br />in front of the engine you can see they worked on the engine, the paint was touched up with hands.<br />*****s is missing<br />The radiator shows corrotion<br />left rear fender liner *****s missing<br />The original remote is replaced with a cheep one that didn't work.<br />about 2 weeks later after I got the vehicle back and told that there is nothing wrong with it, it just stop and refuse to start.<br />The car was towed in. I was informed that the diesel pump and no 1 injector was faulty. It is now 4 weeks later, the vehicle is still in the workshop. (no parts available) I got only 1 call to say what is wrong. No following up calls.<br />I asked my money back and The branch in Menlyn refuse. Got the news via other institutions. the mail said the following.<br />"The vehicle was taken into the workshop and we are looking into the complaint ,we need to get the opportunity to resolve the issues on this vehicle"<br />I just want a service plan because the vehicle got a 3 year warranty. The dealer insist on a maintananceplan that fix everything. WONDER WHY.<br />They LIE to me and sell the vehicle to me with false information<br />I got the idea this vehicle was used for spares and now maintanace plan must pay for it<br />MY UPDATE<br />It stand at the workshop for 4 and a half month and send me emails that the bakkie is in for upholstery. About 2 weeks I spoke to the dealer and said that after 3 months and a second time I take it back they must refund me. He said I know that law and not reverse your contract.<br />Today they bring it back and said it is fixed. after a quick look I realize there was no upholstery fixed. it smoke more than before. I phone the dealer and he said that they test it and it is normal. if a diesel smoke it is the diesel pump and or the injectors. The bakkie broke down in the first place because it smoke.<br />They want now to take back the loan car also. The regestration expire today.<br /><br /></p>
