Dodgy in Thailand. Best bet is to drive it right outside the company forecourt and proceed with the bashing, as did the woman with the Honda many means ago. Believe she got some restitution? 

True but unless you know the company and location it is not exactly shaming them.

Maybe she is looking for a wife and that is the only way she gets attention. ????

Well my Fixed Or Repaired Daily Ranger 4 door, 4WD turbo diesel Ranger pickup will be 21 years old in December and has 448,xxx km on the clock. It still rattles on as most Fords do with little C&M and the odd wash and brush up most years.

smash your own car up that will show them good. 

My thoughts exactly cannot see the logic and she will wear the cost of the damage.

We have bought several new cars in Thailand, Toyota and Ford and never had a problem fixing anything under warranty.

One had a major engine problem and the dealership were great and replaced the engine, provided a temporary replacement car delivered to the house.

I sometimes think it’s how you approach the problem gets the results.

She didn't want to lumber anyone else with this lemon. Lady of principle and integrity. Need people like her in politics.

"I can't stand it any more," she told the media. So I decided to smash it up so that the company will really know how I feel. It was a new car but it has meant nothing but repairs. I will let them repair it then I'm going to sell it and get what I can for it. Then I'm going to buy a new one".

 

Such a sensible act. Such common sense and reason, and such a clear head. Huh? I can think of a dozen ways of approaching this problem. I have absolutely zero fear of defamation. One has to fight for what is right, and those laws were written by easily bought and paid for men, by people with tiny hearts, great fear, and tremendous cowardice. I know I could have gotten satisfaction from the company, if it required going right up to the top executives of the company, with my pleas, and if that did not work, threats of major online campaigns. I have done it before. It works, in this day and age.

Report by Khaosod says Ford will buy the car back.

Not in Thailand, you will get sued for defamation and the company will just keep adding more law suits to keep you tied up for years.

I'm sure you will remember not too long ago a pineapple juice company did it. I can't remember much but it was something like a Finnish NGO researching low wages for migrants. 

Search for Finnwatch and Andy Hall.

Such a costly silly temper tantrum. Chances are that she didnt buy outright and is paying monthly, so technically the car is not hers. If this is the case its criminal damage. In addition the insurance will not pay out as its self inflicted.

Let them sue. I would continue the campaign, and use their frivolous lawsuits as additional fodder. Never fear laws written by and for cowards. We must stand up for what we know is right. Cowering out of fear of oppressive laws, is not acceptable.

She should sue for defamation.

One clue to potential vehicle owners is too find a list of reliable brands from something like Kelley blue book. Japanese brands seem to be at the top of the list. I have a Mazda and Toyota. Both have had no complaint from me or 'er indoors. 

[khunPer]

It's a Ford car, as Ford has offered to buy the car back. Ford states that vthe problems are caused by "the air-purifier machine independently installed by the owner affects the car's computer system."

The person doing this seams actually a bit intelligent,  seams "only" to destroy the front window that heshe probably can afford to replace. 

 

This guy however... probably cheaper to buy a new car:

Whew, at least it wasn't solar flares or gremlins!  Could have been her handphone as well, she needs to put it in flight mode when she enters the car.   Ford seems to have wanted to build a plane, but built a car instead!

these defamation laws are absolutely crazy to the point where reporting a crime can see you being sued and jailed by the criminal as happened to that reporter who reported on a big food company using slave labour. Even though the company was found guilty and the employee's were rescued and compensated (due to the brave actions of the reporter), the company then had the reporter jailed for bringing the whole case to light. Absolutely astounds me that this could happen and continues to happen.

Most car brands seem to be awful now for new cars? Too much value engineering and making parts out of plastic. Think I stick with my old pickup which has been faultless over the last 15 years. If you have a reliable vehicle stick with it!
