QUOTE(anon118 @ May 4 2019, 08:07 PM) I'm just wondering... are we sure this the battery issue? Is it possible that it is maybe; Bro., a) Battery distributor selling fake/non-original batter b) issue of the car, in this case the Preve? Anyway, I'm a noob... just thought I would like to spend more time understanding cars... a) It cannot be a fake battery. If it was a fake, Hitachi representative wouldn't have come down to investigate the major issue. If indeed truly it was a fake, TS would be promptly informed that the battery was not purchased via Authorized Dealers. b) If indeed the Preve was the problem and not the battery itself, I think there should be more batteries exploding in various other Preve's too. Since TS, has went to the SC and have the components tested & checked out, we can omit Preve at this juncture. Although a noob, it's good to ask questions and learn from it. Well done.

Was reviewing the pictures again and TS notes, I must say although Hitachi has the longest Warranty Period i.e. 24 months, which is 3 months longer than Century's but with this incident if not handled properly, Hitachi Battery Division might as well bungkus liao.

Now that I've thought throughly, this is an excellent case study and it could even be a precedent.
TS, please keep everyone posted. |

This is way worse than my battery explosion. It is like decapitation.
Hitachi should have paid the repair bill. It is small amount for them to regain customer confidence. |

I have used this Hitachi battery brand last time, since the car is viva, battery size is small, the warranty was 1 year only. Happened back in 2016.
After 8th month, the battery k.o, able to claim brand new same battery. |

In this age of social media Hitachi would be smart to settle this quickly but small minds can destroy a big business.

QUOTE(TRAZE99 @ May 12 2019, 07:44 PM) my car nothing wrong,wiring,alternator charging fine.i send to sc have them check out. TS, I have a question. Is there any other expressed evidence from Hitachi like a Warranty Card, which says 24 months Warranty Period ? they even come out written words on paper to support my claim. i did send a copy to hitachi representative as proof,if he want to start main blame game.(but after i send,he kept quiet). I know it sounds silly when it's written on the battery 2 Years I think, but I've encountered Delears telling me it's 18 months verbally for another battery brand but upon checking the Warranty Card it's only 12 months ???

For my battery purchases, the Authorized Dealers invoice does not need to indicate the Warranty Period. Neither is the warranty period written on the battery. The warranty period is already indicated on the Warranty Card itself, that comes with the new battery. Different practices. |

QUOTE(kluseng @ May 4 2019, 11:20 AM) Better than tribunal tell them you will do a Facebook post and viral it if they refuse. Who will dare to use Hitachi battery? The days when consumers are powerless against dodgy manufacturers are gone. he already viralled it, so the (reputation) damage is done, perhaps no incentive/justification for them to compensate TS already. Had TS assist (reputation) damage control, he would probably be compensated.This post has been edited by lowya: May 13 2019, 09:45 PM |
