“this means that one in five complaints is related to automobile consumers’ belief that their rights and interests have been infringed.
This distinctive feature has never appeared before.
” When the decline or transfer of consumer rights and interests caused by manufacturers’ marketing or product policy changes has become the main contradiction that automobile after-sales service needs to face, Tang Weiguo believes that the key to breaking the situation is to accurately cater to the needs of users and market changes from a long-term perspective, to find the “maximum common divisor” of new and old car owners’ demand for rights and interests, and to ensure that service measures meet the market trend and meet the real expectations of users.

Among the Chinese passenger car consumers, the additional buyers are gradually replacing the first buyers and become the main body of the new car sales market.
at the same time, the middle and high-end spending power continues to increase.
In 2025, new domestic mixed products are expected to break out further, but the uncertainty of the external economic and trade environment increases, and the export breakthrough of mixed products remains to be seen.

the price-for-volume strategy is easy to derive complaints, and improper handling will eat up sales.
user complaints are more rational, and volume configuration, volume technology and poor service experience become new sources of complaints.
The satisfaction of complaint handling is improved, users’ demands are biased towards compensation, and emotional demands such as apologies or care are gradually reduced.
According to the 2024 China passenger car after-sales Service satisfaction Research report, the overall process execution rate and service satisfaction of after-sales service have declined this year, and there is a continuing risk.
Luxury brands perform best, while New Power brands lack the stamina of terminal service.

The “backstab” behavior of manufacturers in terms of price, configuration, and modification does not actively hurt customers.
Although manufacturers respond to such complaints more quickly and actively, the settlement of complaints is still a difficult problem.
The number of repeated complaints is close to 40%, and the resolution rate of price complaints is only 17%.

After the configuration upgrade, the old car owners are easy to have a sense of unfairness, at the same timeCauses the potential user to choose the difficulty disease, increases the psychological pressure.
For automobile companies, the upgrading of software and hardware configuration of automotive products needs to be paid attention to to solve the behavior that perplexes car owners in a timely manner.
Ma Qishan, director of the Digital Marketing Research Institute of the China Business Advertising Association, believes that consumers’ definition of cars is changing rapidly, and the “backstab” reflects the inconsistency between manufacturers and consumers in their cognition of automobile products.
In order to solve the problem of “backstab”, manufacturers need to explain to consumers the economic value of their products in different periods, and at the same time try to solve the unexpected situation of the problem of “backstab”.
Hao Qingfeng, deputy secretary-general of the Consumer Rights and interests Protection Law Research Society of China Law Society, said that the unfair rights and interests of new and old car owners caused by the rapid iteration of products is something that manufacturers have no choice but to do, and it is also difficult for consumers to accept it.
