New vehicle with serious faults

<p>I bought a NEW foton Thunda at Imperial select in Gezina. It is a vehicle from the Menlyn branch.<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 100 years old. <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</p> <p>The radiator shows corrotion</p> <p>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 motor-plan that fix everything. WONDER WHY.</p> <p>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 my motor-plan must pay for it.<br />I don't think I ever trust that vehicle again and never feel safe with it.<br />This is the story of my NEW 2016 Foton Thunda and they don't want to give my money back.</p>
