On December 13, 2024, I purchased a BYD Dolphin electric vehicle for my wife. While driving back to Bursa, I had the unfortunate experience of discovering that the heating system didn’t work.
By December 16, 2024, I had to bring the car back to the service center wrapped in blankets because it was freezing inside. Despite seat heating, the interior remained unbearably cold. The issue couldn’t be diagnosed, first blamed on software, then a faulty compressor, which was eventually replaced. However, another necessary part was not available in Turkey and had to be ordered from China.
I requested a replacement vehicle, but my request was denied. I even asked to be dropped off at the bus station, but they said they needed to "check first"—so I walked to the nearest bus stop myself. The compressor replacement wasn’t even recorded in the service report. BYD finally provided a temporary vehicle on December 24.
I was told my car would be ready on January 14, 2025, but I only got it back on January 18. That’s when I discovered yet another issue—the panoramic sunroof shade wasn’t working. On January 24, I had to take it back to the service center, and the car is still there.
It’s been 47 days since I purchased this car, and I have only used it for 5 days! This is beyond unacceptable. I demand a full refund with legal interest and compensation for my time and inconvenience. Despite multiple emails, calls, and even a notarized legal notice, BYD has not resolved my issue. I expect an immediate resolution!
