Mario Angrisano is locked in a bitter dispute after a Haval purchased with his life savings gave him issues within two weeks.
A Western Cape man faces a frustrating battle with a dealership after his SUV, bought with his life savings, allegedly became a source of continuous electronic failures, leaving his family stranded on public roads and culminating in a total engine collapse.
Mario Angrisano, 54, of Brackenfell, bought a second-hand 2021 Haval H6 2.0T Premium from Kia Tyger Valley on December 29, 2023, for R359,000, paying cash.
According to Angrisano, the vehicle had since spent a cumulative 162 days in repair workshops, while recurring defects remain unresolved despite numerous repair attempts.
The problems allegedly began just two weeks after the purchase.
