According to a report by Shell Finance, regarding the brake pedal fracture incident of the Jundai V800, Jundai customer service stated that the specific upgrade plan for the V800 brake pedal will be confirmed by the end of October and implemented in November. For consumers who have already purchased the vehicle, all delivered Jundai V800s will be equipped with the upgraded brake pedal. Jundai customer service also mentioned that for users who have placed orders, if the order is within the 24-hour cooling-off period, the deposit can be refunded; if the order has already entered the lock-in period, it will become a firm order and the deposit cannot be refunded.
The report further pointed out that Mr. He, a prospective Jundai V800 buyer from Chengdu, Sichuan, immediately confirmed with Jundai sales personnel after watching a test video on Dongche Dadi, and decided not to take delivery of the car, "even if the deposit cannot be refunded." Mr. He said, "Whether it's about adopting new technology or the motive behind the test, none of that matters. The fact that the brake pedal bracket can be broken by stepping on it is unacceptable. As a car owner, I've lost basic sense of security." Mr. He believes that the Jundai V800 is positioned as a high-end luxury vehicle, and consumers are willing to pay extra because they trust its safety and quality, "the quality of a high-end car should far exceed national standards."
On October 11, the People's Daily app published an article titled "Four departments join hands to say no to 'fast-tracked cars'!" The article stated that in recent days, public opinion has widely focused on the Jundai V800 brake pedal bracket fracture incident, with the central discussion revolving around vehicle safety, especially that of "fast-tracked" new energy vehicles. Although the incident awaits an official investigation conclusion, one thing is certain: a car's brake pedal should never "break" during driving!
The Jundai V800 is a luxury MPV jointly developed by JAC Motors and Huawei. It was launched together with the similarly positioned V680 on August 5, 2026, with starting prices ranging from 766,000 to 1,016,000 RMB. According to automaker data, the two models received 3,500 firm orders within 24 hours of launch, and pre-orders exceeded 10,000 units within 23 days. The new vehicles are equipped with Huawei's Tuling Longxing platform and intelligent driving system, featuring full-chain redundancy across eight systems. (jq)
