  "account": "Chery Auto Malaysia has defended its Tiggo Cross model after photos and videos of a crash on the New Klang Valley Expressway (NKVE) revealed detached wheels from the vehicle. The company insisted that the damaged front bumper and detached wheels were the result of the collision, not a failure in the car's components. The statement came after the images of the Tiggo Cross, which collided with a Perodua Myvi on November 7, began circulating on social media, causing public concern. Chery emphasized that they were providing necessary assistance to the vehicle owner and urged the public not to share unverified claims to avoid causing unnecessary worry among road users.

Despite the ongoing investigation, Chery remains committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of its customers.",
