AUDI Lemon Car

[french]

MANILA, Philippines–A test case invoking the Philippine Lemon Law, the new legal protection for Filipino consumers who purchase new motor vehicles that turn out to be defective, has been filed in the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI).

Named respondents in a complaint filed on Sept. 22 by businessman Ricardo Nolasco Jr. were Mandaluyong City-based Audi Motorcars Inc. as the manufacturer and PGA Cars Inc. as the dealer.

Nolasco, a retired Air Force colonel and resident of Muntinlupa City, sought the replacement of the brand-new Audi A6 3.0 TDI he had bought on May 30 due to defects that could not be repaired despite multiple returns to the dealership.On Aug. 27, Nolasco sent a demand letter to Benedicto Coyiuto, the Audi Philippines head, invoking his rights under the Philippine Lemon Law and the 1992 Consumer Act of the Philippines under RA 7394.

When Audi and/or PGA did not heed his demands, he filed the case in the DTI, which under the law has jurisdiction over cases involving disputes covered by the Philippine Lemon Law.

Any update regarding the matter? I'm quite curious to see if this lemon law actually works and protect us consumers.

Obviously, there are two side to the story but if this is the last update then disappointingly this "lemon law" has failed the consumers (I was hopeful, but not really surprised of the outcome). This isn't much of a resolution. Nag-deny lang ulit yung car company (Audi). And not only that, I find it even more disturbing na Audi-ph would also bring up and/or attack the complainant by saying the car isn't even under his name. Ano gusto nila palabasin?

Definitely not going to buy nor recommend to family and friends any Audi cars in the near future if this is the kind of people you would be dealing with.

In a decision dated March 2, 2015 and penned by adjudication officer Ronald Calderon, the DTI found Audi Motorcars Incorporated and PGA Cars Incorporated (the local distributor of the German luxury automobile in the country) “jointly liable for the imperfections” of an Audi 6 3.0 TD, which was bought in May 2014 by Ricardo L. Nolasco Jr.

Audi/PGA should replace the “lemon” Audi with a similar one “in a perfect state of use or reimburse the amount paid, with monetary updating,” the decision said.
