Kwanheng 1st Gear August 12, 2011 Share August 12, 2011 was thinking of getting a qq.. reviews are generally as bad as its fuel consumption. what are the major problems you guys encountered with a qq? test drived a qq and the brake was almost non existent. lane change and turning as if i'm floating.. same experience with other qq owners?? its more like how much you can pay for a car, for me i see car as a 10 year metal so how much you pay is what you get and what you need during the 10 years you should only pay what you can and pay only for what you need ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of what you have mentioned depends on your driving habits... All cars handles differently. I also can't get use of other cars with such a sensitive brake, so does that makes it a bad car? On a side note, now the COE is more than the cost of QQ why consider buying it ? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good-Carbuyer 1st Gear August 12, 2011 Share August 12, 2011 Hi Anyone can recomend me a workshop that can repair / service Chery Car. Recently my Chery A168 fuel meter is giving me problem. When I pumped full tank , my fuel meter show only at lowest third bars. It just could not move up to the top most bars. Brought this problem to the Chery agent who mentioned that the float might be faulty and spare part is very costly because the float is link to the fuel pump and it need to change the fuel pump as well . I was told that fuel meter can be modify but did not know which workshop is familiar with chery car. Hope someone can help ! Thank! More likely the float got puncture, not faulty fuel gauge meter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Good-Carbuyer 1st Gear August 12, 2011 Share August 12, 2011 when you decide a QQ, or any china car. Please bare in mind the cost and quality. Don expect paying a small price and hope for a luxury condition. Have to be contented of what you want the car for? show off? transport? competing with others? or match up with friends as they also own a car? Forget about the negative feedback in the forum, as it is only individual perception. Not everyone in this forum own a China Car, only few. If you read carefully there are many out there still very happy with their China Car, so it is you who wish to have a car, think about your budget. this is most practical. Safety first? Some cars are not safe above 60-70km/h (even on dry road surface) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Picanto 3rd Gear August 13, 2011 Share August 13, 2011 vertex is a vampire squid, will try to suck out profits from the parts actual price of parts is low but they mark up 3-5 times. nowadays they do not sell so many new cars. they have to make up for the loss in revenue somwehere. the spare parts business could still be their cash cow Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TourDe-Wlands79 Neutral Newbie September 5, 2011 Share September 5, 2011 Anyone can recommend me a good workshop which can service QQ? I want to find an alternative from the agent Vortex... Cheers! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micanggt Neutral Newbie September 10, 2011 Share September 10, 2011 hi Hope i'm not hijacknig the thread, but from what i have read in this entire thread, do we, chery owners have more reliable or at least, more knowledgeble workshop that can deal with more advanced or complicated issues? My T11 has been running close to 4 years at 69k KM and hmm somehow i feel something eccentric is making this howling noise.. any past experiences here? i'm thinking of going to vertex for service as well as sort this matter out but just want to know what is everyone's take on vertex and its workshop... for years, they have gave me good impressions everytime i went there.. thanks :) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TourDe-Wlands79 Neutral Newbie September 11, 2011 Share September 11, 2011 I have problem with my fuel guage. Even though I pump full tank but the fuel guage indicator never reach full. Then, the vortex CS agent told me that I'll need to change the whole fuel pump even though it may only be the fuel gauge that is faulty. But he quoted me $380, which is expensive. Any bro knows how I can fix this thing? It's a small issue but it's a little annoying to see the fuel bar never reaches full Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullmetalalchemist Neutral Newbie September 22, 2011 Share September 22, 2011 My uncle bought a first hand QQ for his wife, forgot which year but it was $35k for a brand new QQ. Within one year gearbox changed three times. And blown exhaust for 2 times per month. Basically in one year of ownership, she only get to drive it for a few months. Maybe it was a lemon car. But one year changed three gearbox?! ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
