The reasons why the Trumpchi GS8 suddenly fails to start are: 1. There is a problem with the circuit; 2. There is a problem with the ignition coil or spark plug. If this situation occurs, it is recommended to go to a 4S shop and have a professional technician read the fault code to diagnose the fault. The Trumpchi GS8 is a mid-size SUV under the Trumpchi brand. The vehicle is equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine across the entire lineup, with a maximum torque of 252 horsepower and 390 Nm. This engine features DCVVT technology and direct fuel injection technology, and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and cast iron cylinder block. It is paired with a 6AT transmission. The front suspension of the Trumpchi GS8 uses a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension uses a multi-link independent suspension. The body dimensions are 4810mm in length, 1910mm in width, and 1770mm in height.
Once when I was driving my GS8 on an outing, suddenly turning the key got no response. After checking, I found the most common issue is a dead battery, possibly from leaving lights on or using a car fridge that drained the power. Next is the starter motor problem—each time you try to start, it just clicks and spins without engaging, and if there's a burnt smell, that pretty much confirms it. Fuel system issues are also common; for example, if the fuel pump is broken, you won't hear the usual buzzing sound when it starts. Another time, a friend's car got mistakenly locked by the anti-theft system and needed to be unlocked again. These minor issues aren’t too hard to handle—keeping a portable jump starter or learning how to jump-start is quite practical. If all else fails, just call the 4S shop’s roadside assistance.
