As an owner of the BYD Song Pro, I find its failure rate quite low. After two years of ownership and numerous long-distance trips, I haven't encountered any major issues—just a minor AC component replacement for cooling issues. The battery pack remains stable with normal charge/discharge performance, and the engine runs smoothly without any unusual noises. Daily fuel consumption is reasonable, and maintenance costs are affordable. I believe the key is avoiding aggressive driving during the first two years, completing the first maintenance on time, and having annual checks on wiring and brake pads to prevent minor faults. Friends who drive the Song Pro share similar experiences; aside from occasional software updates, overall reliability is reassuring. I chose this model primarily for peace of mind, as it enjoys a solid reputation among family SUVs.

From a technical perspective, the failure rate of the BYD Song Pro is not considered high. The manufacturing process has been significantly optimized, with more reliable electronic control units compared to older models, reducing sudden malfunctions. Common issues mainly involve sensors or small electronic components, such as wiper motor jamming or poor contact in light assemblies, but these are not major concerns. Overall, the performance of the engine and transmission is reliable, capable of enduring over 100,000 kilometers without significant problems. Maintenance-wise, it's crucial not to delay oil change intervals, as using substandard oil can accelerate wear. In practice, I've seen many car owners neglect timely oil changes, leading to major component repairs. However, overall, if regular servicing is performed according to the manual, the risk of failure can be minimized, even outperforming some joint-venture vehicles.

According to market data and user feedback, the BYD Song Pro has a slightly above-average fault rate. Data shows that most models experience few faults during the new car period, with minor issues increasing after three years, such as occasional infotainment screen freezes or door lock failures, but major engine overhauls are rare. The battery pack lifespan typically lasts over ten years and can be extended with proper maintenance. When purchasing, you can refer to long-term test reports from car review websites, which generally rate it well. Common fault points are concentrated in the electrical systems, none of which are severe issues. Overall, it offers high cost-performance with well-controlled fault rates, and opting for newer models with optimizations is recommended.

What causes the starter to smoke?

The reasons for the starter smoking are: 1. The engine temperature is too low: some diesel fuel does not burn and turns into oil vapor, which is discharged from the exhaust pipe along with the exhaust gas; 2. There is water in the fuel supply system: water in the fuel or combustion chamber is heated by the heat released during combustion in the cylinder and turns into steam, which is discharged from the exhaust pipe, forming white smoke; 3. The fuel injection timing is too late: due to the delayed injection timing, the cylinder temperature has already dropped when fuel is injected, causing some diesel fuel to not burn and turn into oil vapor, resulting in white smoke; 4. Poor atomization of the fuel injector: poor atomization leads to incomplete combustion of diesel fuel, which mixes with the high-temperature exhaust gas from normally operating cylinders in the exhaust pipe, causing white smoke; 5. The cylinder pressure is too low.

What should be paid attention to when driving in low visibility conditions?

When visibility is low, attention should be paid to using fog lights and operating the vehicle correctly: Always use fog lights: In foggy weather during early morning or evening, do not use high beams as they can make the road ahead even less clear. Turning on fog lights can help other pedestrians and vehicles see you, avoiding accidents. Use the car horn appropriately: Due to low visibility and poor sight, it is advisable to use the horn appropriately while driving to warn surrounding pedestrians and vehicles. Additionally, when hearing other vehicles' horns, respond by honking to indicate your position. Avoid sudden braking: When driving in low visibility conditions, avoid slamming on the brakes. Give the vehicles behind you adequate reaction time. When braking, start slowly and gradually reduce speed. It's best to take measures to alert the vehicles behind you.

Can I add vehicle damage insurance later if I didn't purchase it initially?

Yes. Additional extended information is as follows: 1. The "Motor Vehicle Damage Insurance Clauses" has corresponding provisions: Article 15 states that unless otherwise agreed, the insurance period of this contract is one year. If the insurance period is less than one year, the premium shall be calculated according to the short-term monthly rate approved by the insurance regulatory authority. The insured shall provide the insurance company with the insurance policy, the driver's license, the insurance vehicle's driving license, accident certificate, traffic accident determination letter, loss list, and other certificates and materials related to confirming the nature, cause, and extent of loss of the insurance accident. 2. Relevant provisions of the "Motor Vehicle Damage Insurance Clauses": Article 22 states that the insured vehicle damaged in an insurance accident should be repaired as much as possible.

Why are the production dates of the new car's windows different?

It is normal for the production dates of the new car's windows to be different, as long as the production date of the windows is earlier than the manufacturing date of the entire vehicle. The car's windows are purchased externally and then assembled onto the vehicle. During installation, they are randomly installed according to the production batch of the windows, so different dates are normal. Here's how to interpret the production date of car windows: 1. Currently, the most common method for indicating the production date of windows on the market is a combination of numbers and dots, where the numbers represent the year and the dots represent the month; 2. The dots can be placed either before or after the numbers. Dots before the numbers indicate the first half of the year, and the month can be calculated by subtracting the number of dots before the numbers from 7; 3. Dots after the numbers indicate the second half of the year, and the month can be calculated by subtracting the number of dots after the numbers from 13.
