You can claim compensation for abnormal noises in a new car. According to regulations, if the vehicle has issues with major (important) components such as the transmission or engine due to inherent defects, and after diagnosis by the dealership and manufacturer, it is determined that the product cannot meet functional and usage requirements, you can request repairs, returns, or compensation. First, an inspection and evaluation must be conducted to determine whether the defect is due to the inherent issues of major components like the transmission. If the following conditions are not met, you cannot claim personal compensation rights. The conditions are as follows: 1. Condition 1: Whether there are human factors, such as damage caused by driver error. 2. Condition 2: Whether it is a simple electrical fault that can be resolved without disassembling components like the transmission, engine, or body. 3. Condition 3: Fault level determination, which requires certain professional knowledge to assess whether the fault poses a potential hazard to the customer or user.

What does it mean when the EPS light comes on in a car?

When the EPS light comes on in a car, it indicates a fault in the Electric Power Steering system. The function of EPS is to use the power generated by an electric motor to assist the driver with steering, providing direct steering assistance through the electric power motor. This eliminates the need for components such as the power steering oil pump, hoses, hydraulic fluid, drive belt, and pulley mounted on the engine found in hydraulic power steering systems, saving energy and protecting the environment. The working principle of EPS is: when the steering wheel is operated, the torque sensor mounted on the steering column continuously measures torque and steering angle signals. These signals, along with the vehicle speed, are input into the Electronic Control Unit (ECU). After calculation and processing by the ECU, it controls the motor to output a corresponding torque signal in terms of magnitude and direction. The main torque from the motor is then increased through a speed reducer and applied to the steering system to achieve power steering assistance for the vehicle.

What Types of Insurance Are Included in Comprehensive Auto Insurance?

Generally, comprehensive auto insurance includes the following types of coverage: compulsory traffic insurance, third-party liability insurance, vehicle damage insurance, vehicle theft insurance, passenger liability insurance, spontaneous combustion insurance, and no-deductible special insurance. Compulsory Traffic Insurance: This is a mandatory insurance required by the state. If you fail to purchase compulsory traffic insurance as required, the traffic management department has the right to impound the vehicle and impose a fine of twice the amount of the insurance premium. Third-Party Liability Insurance: Commercial third-party liability insurance covers personal injury or direct property damage to individuals outside the insured vehicle caused by an accident for which the driver is responsible. The insurer will compensate according to the terms of the insurance policy. Vehicle Damage Insurance: This covers losses to the insured vehicle caused by natural disasters (excluding earthquakes) or accidents within the scope of the insurance policy. The insurer will compensate according to the terms of the insurance policy. Vehicle Theft Insurance: This covers losses due to the theft of the entire insured vehicle. Passenger Liability Insurance: If an accident causes injuries to passengers in the insured vehicle, the insurance company will be responsible for compensation. Spontaneous Combustion Insurance: This covers losses to the insured vehicle caused by spontaneous combustion due to faults in the electrical system, fuel system, or the ignition of transported goods. No-Deductible Special Insurance: By purchasing this coverage, you can receive full compensation for the corresponding insurance types. For example, if an accident covered by vehicle damage insurance or third-party liability insurance occurs, the insurance company will compensate for the deductible amount that the insured would otherwise have to bear. Glass Breakage Insurance: If the vehicle's glass breaks or shatters while parked or in use, and no other part of the vehicle is damaged, the insurance company will cover the loss for the glass.
