Airbag: "security" who is in charge

? - Automotive supplies industry

Airbags, has been Car Companies "crying," the selling point. Cars driven to the unrecognizable, but may not be able to open the bag, then "the impact angle is not right" or "impact force is not enough" became the vehicle manufacturers, "excuse." Anhui Consumers Association pointed out that such disputes arise, the interests of consumers are not adequately protected the fundamental reason is the lack of national standard airbags.

Status: two recall 1000 "in car"

Earlier this year, the provincial capital of Anhui Province Chaohu Road, traffic accident occurred, the right front of Ms Lau car collided with a large truck, car severely deformed, but Automotive Safety A balloon was not open, resulting in serious injury after Ms Lau died. Later, Ms Lau family car maker to court. But car manufacturers believe that their car before leaving the factory, there are stringent security checks, all qualified products, air bags not open the case impossible, "certainly was not the location of impact."

Province CASE relevant personnel, in similar cases, the car maker to hit the wrong angle, position or intensity not allowed refused to recognize the car has quality problems, but in fact, in recent years about the car quality complaints are rising rapidly. Reporters from the provincial CASE learned of complaints about cars with gradual upward trend, the year in our province last year received 143 complaints from the car, of which 106 complaints from quality problems, accounting for 74% of the total complaints, the more quality increasingly become the troubled automotive consumer problems.

's Defective products from the State Administration of Quality Supervision Management Center issued a notice that the vehicles for the last two years due to defective airbags and active recall as many as over 1,000 vehicles involved in a number of well-known car manufacturers and number of car brands.

Businesses: air bag to open certain conditions need to

Face Automotive Safety Airbag situation can not be opened, consumers and businesses are always uncompromising, consumers felt the car quality problem, businesses that do not meet airbag detonate conditions. DCH Auto

Sell Co., Ltd. Technology Jiajing Li said that since the performance of different vehicles, airbag detonation conditions are not as general, mid-range cars need to be detonated positive impact airbags, and even hit the side of luxury cars can be. At the same time, no matter what car, detonating airbag requires some efforts, but the car is no different, in the end require much effort is difficult to generalize. In theory, only the vehicle in front of about 60 degrees around a fixed object collision location, the speed higher than 30km / h, then it may open the airbag. Mentioned here are not the usual sense of the speed of the speed, but in the laboratory relatively rigid fixed obstacles in vehicle collision speed, the actual collision test car faster than the speed bag to open.

Provincial Consumers Association: call for a national standard airbags

"Whenever such incidents occurred, the reason many manufacturers are: the angle of impact does not, not allowed or are not sufficiently strong position." Such an interpretation to some extent now has become a kind of auto consumption potential rules, but this interpretation is often questioned by consumers. Provincial Consumers Association, said the officials, the key is to evaluate whether the defective airbag national standard has been missing "

It is understood that the State only in April 2006 introduced three parts involving airbags recommended national standard, it only provides for a separate parts of the test methods, are parts in the assembly before the test standards, rather than the entire airbag integrated system evaluation criteria, it can not be determined by the manufacturing quality of the qualified balloon, balloon and matches the specific model is the basis, not to judge after the accident as airbags should open basis.

As lack of standards, resulting in the appearance of the following three conditions, one can not define the quality of automotive airbags and matching process is qualified, and second, consumers and car manufacturers so there is a dispute, due to lack of standards, leading to CASE mediation organizations can not follow, so that a complaint handling such disputes in a difficulty. Third, even if consumers to sue for mediation to the court, often because of the lack of standard products can not determine whether there are quality defects, so that consumers can not be effectively protected the legitimate rights and interests.

Thus, Sichuan and other provinces CASE 6 (CC) joint letter to the Ministry of Industry, the State Administration of Quality Supervision, National Standards Commission to submit a "safety air bag on the car as soon as possible the recommendations of the national standard letter", called to formulate and publish as soon as the national standard airbag. But Jiajing Li said there were national standard is a good thing, but after the accident and so delineated responsibilities, or a difficult task, because the leading airbag quality deficiency are many reasons, some air bag manufacturers, production quality problems, some assembly problems, while others are sensing system software problems.
