Is it possible to change the manufacturer. How to replace a defective product

The Federal Consumer Protection Law (RFP) describes in detail the replacement of a product with a similar one under warranty.

If during the warranty period the product breaks down, deteriorates, or it turns out that it is of inadequate quality, then the manufacturer or seller is obliged to replace it at its own expense. This is written in chapter 21 of the law.

Products that can be repaired are not subject to warranty replacement

ZZPP allows the seller or the manufacturer to refuse to replace the goods if he can prove that the breakdown was due to the fault of the buyer. In all other cases, he is obliged to change the product for a new one that was not in use. Therefore, the manufacturer or seller has the right to postpone the replacement of the goods until the completion of the examination, which will determine the cause of the breakdown.

Also, the manufacturer or seller may refuse to replace if there are signs of damage on the body of the product or it has been used incorrectly. In this case, the obligation to prove the misuse of the goods lies with the manufacturer or seller.

The buyer does not have to prove anything. The very fact that the product has deteriorated and the buyer's conviction that the breakdown is not his fault is enough.

Another reason why it is impossible to receive goods under warranty is the ability to repair the damaged item. If more than 15 days have passed since the receipt of the goods, then the seller or manufacturer has the right to refuse to replace the goods, since it can be repaired.

The exceptions are the exceeding of the repair period and the inability to use the device for more than 30 days during the year due to repeated breakdowns.

What product can be obtained under warranty

Despite the fact that many buyers wish to replace the goods under warranty with a completely similar one, article 18 of the RFP provides for the possibility of exchange for a not completely similar product with a corresponding recalculation of the cost.

For example, a person bought washing machine LG with a certain set of functions, a maximum weight of 4 kilograms of laundry and a cost of 12 thousand rubles. During the warranty period, the machine broke down, and the person decided to change it to a similar one. But the store does not have a complete analogue, there is an LG machine with improved characteristics (for example, a large volume or weight of laundry) and costing 19 thousand rubles and an Ariston machine, with a slightly smaller number of functions or a smaller volume of laundry, costing 10 thousand rubles.

The buyer can choose any of them, but for the first he will have to pay 7 thousand rubles, and for the second he will be returned 2 thousand rubles.

How to exchange an item for a similar one under warranty

It is possible to exchange goods for a similar one with payment of the difference in price

First of all, you need to contact the store, provide a receipt for payment for the goods and a sales contract (if any). After that, explain what complaints there are about the product (does not work, does not work correctly, shocks, and so on). Within 15 days after receiving the product, you can replace it with a similar one without repair.

If you are tired of constant breakdowns and have not used the product for more than 30 days for one year, then you can safely contact the store to replace the product under warranty. For this you will need:

  • passport;
  • purchase and sale agreement (if any);
  • receipt or check confirming payment.

If the product is small, then bring it to the store yourself. If it is large or fragile, come to the store with the documents. Store employees should inspect the product to ensure that it meets the legal criteria.

Remember if checking or shipping similar product takes more than 3 days, then the store employees are obliged to provide you with goods with similar characteristics for temporary use. At the same time, the store employees have the right to demand from you payment for services for the delivery of faulty or low-quality goods to the store, if they cannot do this on their own. For example, due to the lack of its own delivery service.

Even if you do not have a receipt confirming payment, this is not a reason for refusing to replace the product. If the store employees claim that they cannot change the goods without a receipt or receipt, contact the Consumer Rights Protection Department (Rospotrebnadzor).

So, you are the proud owner of a car with an automatic transmission. The hassle of driving is significantly less than if you had a car with mechanics. What about the service?

Economics determines politics

Immediately you need to divide all cars with automatic transmissions into those, during the operation of which the manufacturer intends to replace working fluid, and those that are refueled for life. The first include cars of venerable age: twenty years ago, most manufacturers included fluid replacement in automatic box transfers on the mandatory schedule maintenance... The mileage between replacements did not exceed 30–45 thousand kilometers. It should be noted that these were mineral-based liquids.

Now, many manufacturers do not indicate in service books the need to replace the fluid in the machine, robot or variator. In fairness, I note that today they use fluids on a semi-synthetic or synthetic basis. And this liquid is already considered to be filled for the entire service life of the car. How long is this? Manufacturers do not particularly advertise these figures, but it is known that lately they take into account annual mileage of no more than 30 thousand km, as well as the service life of a car up to three - maximum six years. It turns out that the resource of most cars, according to the manufacturer, varies within 90-180 thousand km of run.

You buy new car and you plan to operate it for no more than 3-5 years - you should not worry about replacing the automatic transmission fluid. Unless, of course, your driving style is not too harsh when accelerating.

You buy a new car and plan to operate it no more than 3-5 years - you should not worry about changing the automatic transmission fluid. Unless, of course, your driving style is not too harsh when accelerating.

Many manufacturers are literally obsessed with lowering the cost of car ownership. And this figure includes the frequency and cost of the car. Some, for example, a well-known South Korean concern, do not see the need for more frequent replacement engine oil, even if the vehicle is operated in difficult conditions... What can we say about the fluid in an automatic transmission. It is important for them that during the warranty period the car is cheap to operate, and then, in the post-warranty period, if the unit requires overhaul, then this is only for the best. After all, the owner of the car will have to pay for it. Better yet, the consumer buys a new car.

On the other hand, manufacturers of these very automatic transmissions insist on the need to replace the working fluid in the machine. First of all, they care about the brand image: it is not profitable for them if the opinion among motorists is widespread that the ZF or Aisin machines fall apart immediately after the end warranty period.

Technical issues

A modern semi-synthetic or synthetic fluid, filled in the gearbox at the factory, lasts longer than engine oil because it is not exposed to such high temperatures, is not contaminated with combustion products and does not decrease due to waste. At the same time, an automatic transmission contains a large number of friction pairs, which (in contrast to engine parts) must operate precisely on friction. Friction is known to cause inevitable wear. Moreover, often dissimilar materials such as steel, aluminum, special friction materials wear out. Therefore, a filter and magnets are always included in the design of the gearbox to "catch" the steel particles.

Over time, wear products clog the surface of the filter element to such an extent that the fluid pressure in the system drops to unacceptable values \u200b\u200band the actuators stop working properly. And if the curtain of the filter element ruptures, then the entire flow of dirt will very quickly disable the control valves. Heavily contaminated working fluid leads to rapid wear of almost all parts of the transmission. Mechanical parts suffer - bearings, gears, clutches, valve body valves, pressure regulators. A large amount of swarf adhered to the shaft speed sensors can distort their readings, leading to malfunctions in the automatic transmission control system.

The automatic transmission can be used in different conditions. And, as a result, changing the fluid in the automatic transmission is desirable if the car is used:

  • for driving in a large city with frequent downtime in traffic jams;
  • at temperature conditionstypical for a harsh continental climate with cold winters and hot summers;
  • with a driver accustomed to overly dynamic driving;
  • with full load and frequent towing of a trailer or other vehicle;
  • for off-road driving.

Now for some helpful tips ...

When to change the automatic transmission oil?

If you are going to drive a car longer than the warranty period or you have got a used car, then the fluid in the automatic box should be changed at intervals not exceeding 60 thousand km. And it is critically important to make a replacement before the box shows the slightest signs of unsatisfactory performance. Twitching, lagging when shifting gears or other abnormalities in operation are most often signs that the problem cannot be solved by replacing the fluid along with the filters. A positive result is likely to be given only by repairs at a specialized service.

How to change the oil in an automatic transmission?

You can change the fluid partially or completely, with or without replacing the filter element. Ideally, both filter and fluid should be completely replaced. But it is impossible to drain or pump it out without completely disassembling the unit. Up to half of the old liquid still remains in various nooks and crannies of the machine. And work with the removal of the gearbox is not cheap.

If the machine did not show signs of malfunction and the fluid change is of a preventive nature, then a partial replacement is sufficient. However, in any case, it is better to entrust the work to professionals. An experienced serviceman will be able to determine the condition of the drained working fluid and give recommendations. If the waste fluid contains a large amount of wear products, then a partial fluid change will only slightly delay the costly repair of the machine.

Change the filter in the vending machine or not?

It is not necessary to change the filter, made as a liquid receiver in the form of a metal case with a mesh, but it is necessary to thoroughly rinse it from varnish deposits and dirt. Carburetor Cleaner will do. Filter fine cleaninghaving a paper curtain must be replaced at each fluid change.

What kind of ATF to pour into the automatic box?

Since at partial replacement old liquids will inevitably mix with the new, should only be used original productrecommended by the manufacturer of the particular vehicle. Well, if your gearbox still gets on the bulkhead, then its parts will be completely cleaned of old fluid, and then it will be possible to refuel even more quality liquidthan was used at the plant. After all, oil manufacturers do not stand still and improve their products.

How to check the oil level in the automatic transmission?

I advise you to check the fluid level in an automatic transmission yourself only if it is equipped with a special dipstick. In other cases, a viewing ditch or lift is required. The requirements for the horizontal position of the car are great, and sometimes special keys and skills are needed. So it's better to use the service.

And it is necessary to change to "Notebook" art. 020-07 To what extent is it legal and what are the consequences?

If this article is needed only in the store, and it will not cause any confusion if the consumer contacts the manufacturer directly, then these things can be replaced. If there is a confusion of the goods from the manufacturer, then the consumer's rights are violated, he will not be able to protect his rights in case of anything. (All this is valid if the goods are sold in retail, for consumers, for legal entities - there are no such requirements, the main thing is that product and quality information)

Last updated January 2019

One of the most common customer complaints is the replacement of an inadequate product with a serviceable one. This is unprofitable for the seller, so he is reluctant to make such an exchange.

Before contacting the seller to replace a poor-quality product with another, you must be prepared for his negative attitude.

What can be exchanged

Not all goods are subject to exchange, but only:
  • ordinary durable goods

    (clothing, footwear, furniture, plumbing fixtures, simple electrical appliances, cell phones, textiles, knitwear, synthetics, cutlery and other items and things that are used in everyday life);

  • technically sophisticated household equipment;
  • food products;
  • household chemicals;
  • medications;
  • other things.
Improper quality can relate to:

It should be borne in mind that the requirement to replace the product is appropriate in the presence of a quality defect.

  • directly the product itself;
  • packaging, if it provides the ability to use the product in the usual way and in normal conditions.

    for example, the plastic reusable lid of the detergent container is not rotated to open. To extract detergent you want to cut the neck. This packaging defect is a product defect.

  • component parts ( power supply, stand, clips, etc.). If it is permissible to replace only a component part without impairing the consumer properties of the product, then only the component is replaced.
The disadvantage itself is:
  • manufacturing defect;
  • any actions that led to the breakdown of the goods, if they were before the purchase of the goods by the buyer (regardless of whether there was a defect or the product met all GOSTs and TUs). Such actions are also equated with those that did not immediately lead to a breakdown, but later, after the purchase of the goods by the buyer.

    For example, the TV was stored by the seller in a damp warehouse, which led to the malfunctioning of the electrical circuits. After the purchase, the TV worked for a while, and then broke. The disadvantage is not associated with a factory defect, but caused by improper storage, which ultimately led to its breakdown.

We will separately touch on the issue of exchange technically complex product

Such goods can be exchanged if available. If there is an ordinary defect, such a claim cannot be made immediately.The right to a warranty replacement product if simple flaw the buyer arises if:

  • the seller violated the term for repairing the goods;
  • same or different defect reoccurredafter renovation

In these cases, the replacement procedure for a technically complex product is no different from a simple product.

What can be provided as a replacement

There are two options for replacing defective goods:

  • for a similar product (of the same brand, model and with the same technical characteristics);
  • for the same thing, but of a different brand, model, size, configuration.

    for example, a 1300 W Sauyangi vacuum cleaner was purchased of an inadequate quality. The buyer can exchange it for a 2500 W Karcher brand vacuum cleaner.

However, such an exchange will not be "clean": department-received. If there is a difference in the selling price for a low-quality and exchanged product between the buyer and the seller, a recalculation is made. Depending on the cost of the exchanged goods, an additional payment is possible either in favor of the seller (if the returned defective product is cheaper than the one provided) or in favor of the buyer, that is, a partial refund.

Who can I contact

This question is also not unambiguous. Depending on what kind of exchange is planned, the buyer's right to contact a specific person is determined:

Who can apply

Any owner of a poor-quality purchase can make claims about product defects. That is, both the buyer himself and the subsequent owners. Even if another person appears in the documents for the goods and the guarantee (for example, the goods were resold, donated, etc.), the right to exchange remains. A refusal by a seller based on the claim that the original purchaser should be making a claim is illegal.

In what period can you apply for a replacement

There are several periods when you can exchange an item (you need to know the warranty period and the service life of the out of order item).

  1. According to the basic rule, you can apply for the replacement of durable goods during the warranty period, the so-called replacement of goods under warranty.
  2. If there is no guarantee or its period is less than two years, then a claim for replacement should be presented within two years from the date of purchase of the goods (part 5 of article 19 of the Federal Law "On Protection of Consumer Rights"). It should be noted that if the claim is submitted within the non-warranty period, but within two years, the obligation to prove the absence of the buyer's fault in the damage of the goods must be the buyer (if there is a defect dispute).

    for example, the electric kettle has a 1 year warranty. After 1.5 years, the heating coil burst. The buyer requested a replacement product. The seller refused to replace it, indicating that the buyer used the device without water. Here the buyer must submit the goods for examination. And if a factory defect is confirmed, then the seller is obliged to make a replacement.

  3. During the service life or 10 years (if the service life is not specified) upon discovery of a significant defect in the product (Part 6 of Art. 19 of the Federal Law "On Protection of Consumer Rights"). But you cannot immediately demand a replacement, first the repair, which should last up to 20 days. But if the repair period is violated, you can apply for a replacement. Such a claim is presented only to the manufacturer (not to the seller) and the buyer proves the right to free repair and further replacement (as in the previous cases) if the manufacturer has doubts.

We draw your attention once again: if you want to use the replacement of a product that failed after the warranty period (options 2 and 3), then you will have to prove to the manufacturer yourself that the failure was not your fault. That is, you will have to pay for the examination of the goods, the price of which can often turn out to be comparable to the price of repairs.

For food products, the claim period is within the shelf life

What if the expiration date is not set. The law prohibits the sale of food products without an expiration date. Therefore, if such a product is purchased, it can be exchanged at any reasonable time. That is, the longest shelf life for a similar product. For example, milk usually has a shelf life of up to 10 days. When buying low-quality milk without an expiration date, you can return it for 10 days, and if the seller objects, they say, a three-day period is set for such milk, he will be wrong. After all, there was no information on the validity on the packaging.

What breakdowns do not give the right to exchange goods

  • improper operation (violation of the prohibitions and warnings provided for in the instructions, technical data sheet etc.);
  • misuse of the product, that is, not for its intended purpose;
  • careless storage of things (in conditions that negatively affect the properties of the goods);
  • sloppy transportation;
  • actions of natural disasters, unlawful actions of unauthorized persons (with the exception of malicious actions of the seller);
  • carrying out unprofessional repairs on their own or by third parties. Even if the defect (which was eliminated) related to the warranty case. For example, the table had a defect in one of the legs. The buyer made repairs on his own, as a result of which the tabletop broke. Regardless of whether the drawback of the table leg was eliminated or not, such a table cannot be exchanged.

How long does it take to replace a defective product?

There are several terms for replacing defective goods. Consider the following:

  • the need for additional quality control of the item;
  • availability of goods from the seller;
  • location of the seller.
Visual table of the terms of replacement of goods

The above terms for the regions of the Far North do not apply. Replacement is done at the first delivery of the goods.

The replacement period is calculated from the date of submission of the application to the seller for the replacement of goods and until the actual transfer of the quality goods to the buyer.

Procedure for exercising the right to replace goods under warranty

1. Report to the seller demanding a replacement

It is necessary to prepare an exchange statement and present it to the seller (manufacturer, importer). On the second copy of the application (which remains with you), the seller puts his signature and date. From that day on, the period for replacing a low-quality purchase begins to flow.

The application must clearly and unambiguously demand the replacement of goods of inadequate quality. Otherwise, the seller will be able to use it to his advantage. For example, instead of a warranty replacement, the product will be repaired. In this case, it will be difficult to win back your replacement rights.

2. Demonstrate that the item is defective

When a claim is made to replace a product under warranty, the seller has the right to ascertain its malfunction. Therefore, the goods must be taken with you. You should also provide documents for the purchase of goods and for a guarantee.

If the product is large or weighs more than 5 kg, then you do not need to transport it yourself... This must be done by the seller at his own expense, or by mutual agreement, pay your costs for the delivery of the goods.

If the deficiencies are obvious, then they can be attested at the time of filing a claim for replacement. There are times when the seller cannot immediately confirm the defect or the reason for its occurrence, then the seller will insist on an additional quality check. He has such a right. Then the goods will need to be transferred to the seller.

If additional verification is required, the goods should be packaged, sealed and signed by the seller and the buyer in order to avoid illegal manipulations with it (opening, disassembly, etc.) before additional quality control. By the way, the buyer has the right to be present at such a check, so demand that you be notified of the time and place of its carrying out.

The transfer of the goods to the seller must be accompanied by the drawing up of an act, which indicates:

  • who transferred the goods;
  • to whom transferred;
  • the name of the product, its external description, indicating the serial (factory) number, color, size, etc., as well as listing its main technical properties;
  • description of the defect;
  • date of transfer of goods;
  • other important information.

You should not transfer documents for the goods and a written guarantee to the seller, since you may need these documents in case of a legal dispute.

3. Request a temporary replacement item

If within three days the replacement of the product has not been made, then you can receive a similar product for the period of replacement. For this, the seller is provided with a corresponding statement.

Temporarily not provided:

  • food;
  • household chemicals;
  • medications;
  • personal hygiene items;
  • medical devices;
  • devices for cooking (processing) food;
  • furniture;
  • vehicles and water vehicles, motorcycles;
  • civilian weapons and ammunition.

4. If the seller has violated the terms

If the replacement period is delayed, you have the right to the following actions:

  1. rush the seller in writing or orally to make a replacement;
  2. collect a forfeit (penalty) for violation of the terms of exchange of goods;
  3. refuse to replace and put forward any other requirements, including:
    • refusal to fulfill the contract and return of the money paid for the goods;
    • free repair;
    • decrease in the purchase value of the goods.
If you have a desire to collect a fine or use other consumer rights, you must submit a claim to the seller.

In a claim for a forfeitindicates:

  • date, full name of the buyer and the name of the seller (to whom the demand for the exchange of goods was declared);
  • what product and with what defect was transferred to the seller;
  • what is the deadline for the exchange;
  • period of delay;
  • amount and calculation of the amount recovered.

The penalty is determined at the rate of 1 percent for each day of delay of the total value of the goods.

In a claim for waiverfrom the warranty replacement of goods, the following information is indicated:

  • the date of the statement of claims for the replacement of goods;
  • FULL NAME. the buyer and the name of the seller;
  • what product and with what defect was transferred for exchange;
  • the fact of confirmation of the lack by the seller;
  • what is the period for the exchange;
  • number of overdue days;
  • expression of his refusal to exchange;
  • statement of a new requirement.

The time limit for a new claim begins to run from the moment the claim is submitted to the seller.

5. What you need to know when receiving the goods

In case of a successful exchange of goods, the seller notifies the buyer about this. When accepting the goods, you need to inspect the goods for their quality compliance. The transfer is accompanied by the issuance of documents for the goods, including technical content. In addition, a guarantee is issued for the product. The period of such a guarantee is equal to that which was established for the replaced product and this period begins to run from the moment the new product is delivered.

We remind you that if the product is oversized or weighs more than 5 kg, then delivery to your home is at the expense of the seller.

We pay special attention to cases when, instead of a similar product, the buyer is returned the same product with repaired defects. Such a product should not be accepted. In the document for the transfer of goods, you need to express a refusal in writing, indicating that a claim for a warranty replacement was declared, and instead, a repair was made. If you take such a product from the seller, and sign the transfer documents, thereby you seem to agree with the seller's actions. In the future, it will be difficult to prove in court the fact of violation of your rights. Therefore, when accepting the goods, carefully consider the goods presented as a replacement.

6. Actions in case of defects in the replaced product

If the new product turns out to be defective, then the buyer has the right to present all the requirements to the seller (manufacturer, importer), without any restrictions. The fact that this product is a warranty replacement has no bearing on new customer requirements.

Imagine the situation: the deadline for changing the engine oil has come, you are driving to the point where you have become accustomed to buying a certain brand of car oil over the past few years, and you find with bewilderment that the shop is closed for an indefinite period. It's good if the oil of this brand is quite common, and you have to spend time just looking for another trustworthy seller (which is also often difficult) and buy oil from him. And if it was the only seller of this particular oil in the city? This is the situation the author of these lines had to face.

In this case, changing the brand looks like a rational solution. car oilpoured into the engine. Also, the material of this article will be useful to those who decided to change the oil manufacturer not for such an exotic reason, but for example, because of problems with the quality of the product of the selected brand. Either you bought a brand new car, and you do not know for certain what the previous owner put into the engine.

A frequent recommendation in case of changing the brand of oil in the engine is to flush it. There are two types of flushes: flushing additive and special flushing oil. None of these flushes are worth using, and here's why. Flushing additives and oils contain a complex of aggressive detergent additives. After draining, up to 10% oil remains in the engine cavities, and when pouring a new mixture, the resulting mixture is nothing good engine will not bring. Each oil has a special complex of additives in its composition, which manufacturers keep secret, first of all, from each other. When mixing oils different brands, and even more so when adding any additives to the oil, the interaction of the additives can cause undesirable chemical reactions and the formation of new components up to the formation of insoluble compounds and precipitation, which can very negatively affect the engine resource.

Also pay attention to the fact that the engine manufacturer in its instructions does not mention the need to flush engines anywhere, and among the products well-known firms flushing oils do not meet.

Therefore, we do this: we drain the old oil, fill in the new one. We drive on new oil for some time, say 500 km, then we drain it again and fill in new oil of the same brand. Only in this case can one expect the absence negative effect... To some, such a procedure will seem costly - still, one additional replacement oil, good oil is not cheap. But here, as they say, everyone chooses for himself what to save on - on the engine resource, which is undoubtedly reduced from the use of incomprehensible mixtures in it, or on one additional bank good oil the selected brand.
