Problem in the Auto Industry

The lack of transparency and fairness in the automotive industry leads to several problems across various areas such as supply chain management, part certification, consumer rights protection, and more. Here are some major issues caused by this lack of transparency and fairness:

  1. Opacity in Supply Chain Management: The complex supply chain in the automotive industry can lead to the use of parts and raw materials with unclear origins, raising quality control and ethical issues. For instance, the use of resources associated with illegal labor or environmental destruction can damage trust with consumers and regulatory bodies.

  2. Lack of Part Certification: The use of counterfeit parts can create significant safety issues within the automotive industry. The absence of a transparent certification system for the origin and authenticity of parts can put consumers at risk, ultimately harming the brand's reputation and consumer trust.

  3. Consumer Rights and Accessibility of Information: Car buyers often do not receive sufficient information regarding the exact specifications, maintenance history, and previous accident history of the vehicle. This lack of information can make it difficult for consumers to make informed decisions and sometimes lead to misguided choices.

  4. Opacity in Warranty and Service Promises: Often, consumers do not fully understand warranty conditions or service promises. This can lead to unfair service conditions and unexpected additional costs, eventually decreasing consumer satisfaction and brand loyalty.

To address these issues, measures to enhance transparency and fairness across the automotive industry are necessary. For example, utilizing blockchain technology to track the origin and transit path of parts and providing vehicle-related information to consumers in a clear and accessible manner could be included. Additionally, establishing fair warranty conditions and providing clear information about consumer rights are important.
