Btw, if he expect better treatment, maybe he should've decided to buy a Maybach instead of a Brilliance or Gelly.

In Asia, many people are unaware or don't really care about how technology works. They just know airbags are supposed to deploy in the event of crash.

On local forum once, this one guy was pissed because his airbag wasn't deployed. He was cruising through highway while the car in front of him did an emergency brake. He stopped in time, but the car behind him slammed his car so his car was hit the car in front of him and his airbag didn't go off. He was thinking of suing the car manufacturer for that. Some people are just unaware of how things work.

Sometimes movies are misleading too. If any of you watch the movie Die Hard 4, there was a scene where a parked BMW E60 5 series was hit hard using a trash can and both front airbags deployed. First, the car ignition was off, the SRS module is not even active. Secondly, there was no one on passenger side, so even if in real crash that side of airbag won't deploy. But then of course anything can happen in a movie right?
You have a VERY valid point with the movies bit. I work with Benz and BMW in china (im english by the way) and many of the chinese owners dont understand the basic workings of their cars let alone the technical side. Given a person like that and maybe he or she watches a movie as you describe then how the hell are we to explain why something did not work when in their mindset it should have? But I must admit it keeps me in a job lol
