Woman's video over faulty car shows consumers still being taken for a ride

A VIDEO CLIP has gone viral showing a young woman in Xi'an sat on the hood of a car complaining about the dealer that sold the car to her. Xiakedao, the official WeChat account of People's Daily overseas edition, comments:

In the video clip, the woman tells her story in great detail. She bought the Mercedes Benz for her birthday in March, yet when she got it, even before she drove it out of the shop, the engine was found to have an oil leak.

The shop promised to refund her down payment and cancel the financial agreement. However, when she returned a few days later, they said they could only change the car she had for a new one.
