can claim or cannot claim.....?

[nadziad]

helow fwends...heeee...i would like to share abit info for all us.....sorry for bad english...

today one of my staff got a bad news.her husband car had to do some overhaul because water are entering the engine combustion chamber.i as a car user ask her what happend.so the story begin like this.

"yesterday on the morning.my myvi car started having jerking when climbing the hill near the munchy factory" she said.so i ask her what happened. she said "the car is like having lost of power." i assumed maybe it was the computer box or the spark plug fault.

after several hour of working,my staff talked to me about the car that happened this morning.she said after the formen who her husband friend open the engine.he saw water are entering the combustion chamber.so i taught maybe the radiator fault that made the damage but she claimed the radiator are fine.before her husband want to go for a course in yong peng as he works as a teacher.he fill up the myvi at the petrol station near her house.

as the formen said water are coming from the petrol tank not the radiator.i feels awkward how the water can entering the car tank.in this week raining heavily are pouring the batu pahat district.so i taught maybe the the petrol station reservoir must having a leak that make the water entering the compartment.

so the question begin can we claimed to the petrol company because their fault make the damage happened or we should complaint this matter to the tribunal? sharing is caring for all zth users

I think it is so much easier to claim against Perodua than the petrol station. How to establish the fact that the petrol station is at fault? She needs damn solid proof it is the negligence of the station, which she mostly won't be able to get. The probability of own negligence or mechanical leaks in car is higher loh.

thanks for replying...this morning she said the petrol station had closed and red tape are tied along at the entrance.....i think that makes she made the decision and she claim also the water are more in the petrol tank.....oil is lighter than water right? i just want to sure so i just dont want to be another victim....

 

[YYC]

Emmmm, maybe they discovered the problem? Then she may have a case.

 

[nadziad]

maybe2......hmmm just hoping that problem dont happened to another person.....maybe it was my staff bad luck having water entering their car.

if i were in her shoes, i would also be blank.
sorry to hear that.

waiting for others opinion...

i tink myb for starters, can write an official letter to petrol station company (the brand they carry)?

 

[nyantong]

If its true, of course you can sue them for damages. But is your friend capable of retaining a lawyer? And most likely the court case would be dragged for a long time.

 

[amrancharger]

if its true the petrol station is at fault...they will bear the cost to repair it.

i tink i heard a few stories like this in the news...usually the petrol station take responsibility without having a court case.
so now just make ur staff visible as a victim so dat they can contact u if they want to take the responsibility.
if more than 1 make a report it shud be valid....

if not, just write to newspaper...but i tink its more proper to write to them 1st before going to the mass media.

just reference...something to share...

did the driver keep the receipt when he fill up the petrol that day to show proof.
the station must responsible for the car fault repair. there might be others cars victim that day just need to come forwards to win the case

 

[spoon civic]

heard about this case a few times..hopefully this do not ocuured again for others......

 

[DanzEterna]

my bro in law kena few years ago..but he didnt do anything, just send to wshop & flush the tank...
u should take pics of the petrol station, ask a lawyer for advice then speak to the top management of the petrol company.

if they refuse to pay for your damages then sue them.

 

[nadziad]

today my staff talked to me.the petrol station pay the compensation for the damage.they said it was their fault because one of their staff didn't close tight the reservoir cap.her husband got rm150 because the damage are not very bad.just do some servicing the tank only.luckily he was the 6 th person who claimed the compensation.

 

[vr2turbo]

Good, lucky they took the responsibility to compensate......
