Unresolved Chronic Issues With My Chery OMODA 5

Chery OMODA 5 frequently experiences Bluetooth and Apple CarPlay disconnections, and reconnection does not work until the vehicle is restarted. While driving, there is also a loss of throttle response, causing the vehicle to stop accelerating. The Start-Stop system fails to function consistently, sometimes causing shaking and raising safety concerns, and when stopped at a red light, the vehicle automatically restarts after 25 seconds. Additionally, the multimedia system occasionally suffers a complete loss of audio, which can only be restored by fully restarting the vehicle.
Progress

On 14.06.2024, I purchased a Chery Omoda 5 Excellent with chassis number LVVDB21B6RD888059 and engine number SQRF4J16AURC05727 from Diyarbakır Odabaşı Madeni Yağ Akaryakıt ve Pet. Ürün. San. Tic. Ltd. Şti. Starting from August 2024, I began experiencing serious technical faults with my vehicle. Issues such as Start/Stop system malfunction, sound interruptions, stalling and loss of power while driving, and occasionally failure to start occurred.
To resolve these faults, I delivered my vehicle to the authorized service center three times on 24.10.2024, 05.11.2024, and 25.11.2024. Despite the vehicle staying at the service center for 2-3 days each time, the problems were not resolved. In June 2025, a technical team from Istanbul also acknowledged the existence of the faults, and this was recorded in the service records. Most recently, on 21.07.2025, I delivered my vehicle to Van Berk Motorlu Taşıtlar Paz. San. Tic. Ltd. Şti. Chery service for the fifth time, and my vehicle has been waiting at the service center for 62 days, exceeding the legal time limits. During this process, a replacement vehicle was provided only after the 10th day.
Although my vehicle has only 6000 km on it, it has been to the service center more than three times for the same faults and has remained in the service center for over 30 days. Therefore, under the Turkish Commercial Code and Law No. 6502 on Consumer Protection, my vehicle qualifies as a 'defective product.'
In accordance with my legal rights, I request that my vehicle be replaced with a new, non-defective one. I want my grievance to be resolved and the legal obligations to be fulfilled.
