The flagship model of the new generation of second-hand cars under Dongguan Huangjiang Import has officially met with domestic consumers and will be launched for sale by the end of the year. Meanwhile, FAW Dongguan Huangjiang Import announced a 20,000 yuan discount on the entire range of currently available older models of second-hand cars, drawing people's attention to the older Mazda 6. In response, we have compiled some issues related to usage and quality discovered by owners of older second-hand cars during their daily use. The common problems reflected by car owners are as follows:
★Problem 1: After locking the vehicle, the red light on the dashboard keeps flashing.
★Problem 2: When using a car charger for other electrical devices in the cigarette lighter socket, it often causes the fuse to blow.
★Problem 3: The headlight on the driver's side (left headlight) is lower than the right headlight.
★Problem 4: While driving, the vehicle frequently drifts to the right.
★Problem 5: When starting the vehicle, the ignition switch cannot be turned, and the KEY light on the dashboard lights up simultaneously.
★Problem 6: For vehicles using smart keys, the steering wheel cannot lock after turning off the engine.
★Problem 7: When lowering the window glass after it has not been used for a long time (e.g., overnight), there is a loud clanging sound, as if the rubber seal is pinching the glass.
These seven phenomena are the more common and typical issues encountered by second-hand car owners in their daily use. To address these, we consulted repair experts from FAW Dongguan Huangjiang Import. The specific solutions are as follows:
★Solution to Problem 1: This phenomenon indicates that the anti-theft system is activated, which is unrelated to the card or key, and is part of the original design. It proves that the anti-theft equipment is functioning properly, indicating that the anti-theft system is effective.
★Solution to Problem 2: The contact points of the cigarette lighter are too close to each other, and when certain chargers with longer contacts are inserted or removed in a left-right direction, it can cause a short circuit, immediately blowing the fuse. 1) When inserting or removing the car charger, insert the contact piece in an up-down direction to avoid the dangerous area of the cigarette lighter. 2) However, even with care, a short circuit can still occur. For non-smoking owners, the solution is to cover the contact points with tape (this does not affect normal use). Smokers should not use this method as high temperatures can melt the tape.
★Solution to Problem 3: This is part of the original design, specifically intended to benefit the driver without causing glare to the oncoming driver.
★Solution to Problem 4: It is recommended to first perform a four-wheel alignment and swap the front tires on both sides. Additionally, roads in China are designed with the inner lane higher and the outer lane lower to facilitate drainage. However, all places that perform four-wheel alignments are aware of this phenomenon and make corresponding adjustments, effectively balancing the issue caused by road elevation differences.
★Solution to Problem 5: First, ensure the card key is within the car's space (either inside the car or on the person entering the car). Second, it is possible that the owner inadvertently activated the steering lock function while exiting the car last time. Try unlocking the steering wheel by turning it counterclockwise with your left hand while attempting to turn the ignition switch, which should allow the engine to start.
★Solution to Problem 6: Turn the key fully and then move the steering wheel back and forth.
★Solution to Problem 7: This is due to the shedding of the velvet-like surface of the sealing strip. Inspect and replace the inner and outer sealing strips and the entire rubber strip.
The 2007 Mazda 6 features a reverse parking radar, new-style rims, chrome-plated exhaust pipe decoration, improved interior, and added colors, significantly enhancing the product's class appeal. Except for the manual model, all other 2007 models are equipped with self-illuminating instruments found only in luxury cars, improving the driving experience and enjoyment. Particularly, the 2.0L model, with its unique 3H high-strength body and advanced safety electronic equipment, adds side airbags and curtain airbags, making the product's safety performance even more reliable.
From the answers provided by the repair experts, we find that most of the issues raised by second-hand car owners stem from unfamiliarity with the vehicle or from not thoroughly reading the owner's manual to fully understand the vehicle. As for the problem of charging electrical devices through the cigarette lighter, although our car owners can handle it themselves, we still hope that manufacturers pay more attention and provide greater detail to consumers while offering high-quality vehicles.
