The People's Court of Go Vap District, Ho Chi Minh City will open a first-instance trial of the case of Mr. Nguyen Duy Manh (aka singer Duy Manh) suing Mercedes-Benz Vietnam Co., Ltd. on April 25.
According to singer Duy Manh, although the car is still under warranty, Mercedes-Benz Vietnam Co., Ltd. is not responsible for not compensating him for the value of the car according to warranty regulations. When he contacted the relevant parties for support, they refused to resolve his requests...
In the petition, singer Duy Manh requires Mercedes-Benz Vietnam Co., Ltd. to compensate the total amount of more than 2.5 billion VND including the value of the vehicle's value at the value of the car to buy the car except for the amount of Liberty Vietnam Insurance Co., Ltd. paid.
At the same time, the company was required to pay the entire bank loan interest of VND 293 million, and the company was required to pay the entire legal costs for the lawsuit of VND 423 million.
As Lao Dong previously reported, on April 22, singer Duy Manh shared that he needed a clear answer on why a car worth more than 5 billion VND could suddenly catch fire.
According to singer Duy Manh, the incident happened in 2023, when his newly purchased car in 2020 suddenly caught fire while parked on the second floor of an apartment building in Ho Chi Minh City.
The singer said that at that time, the car had turned off the engine, turned off the power source, and the hood was locked and could not be opened.
Due to the widespread fire, at risk of other vehicles and the safety of the whole building, the apartment management board called the police. After completely extinguishing, the car was pulled to the parking force by the police in Thu Duc City and conducted sealing. The police then determined the vehicle was burnt due to electric shock.
The insurance company base on the inspection results to compensate the singer the amount of about 2.9 billion, calculated according to the value of the old car. However, the car company refused to be responsible. After re -assessment, the company said that the cause of the fire was caused by rodents, because there were signs of mouse decomposition and garbage in the engine compartment. Duy Manh said, he saw the conclusion on unreasonable.
