Chinese woman whose Mercedes-Benz oil leak protest video went viral ‘satisfied’ with settlement deal


The Mercedes-Benz customer who turned her complaint about a dealer’s handling of an oil leak in her brand new CLS 300 into a viral social media video that got 200 million hits has reached an agreement with the showroom to resolve her complaint.

The woman, surnamed Wang, picked up her 660,000 yuan (US$98,690) car at Shaanxi-based Xian Lizhixing Auto at the end of last month. Before she had driven a kilometre, she said in the video filmed weeks later as she sat frustrated and crying on a showroom Mercedes, an oil leak warning appeared.
