Pajero Victim for Compensation Turned Down by Japanese Car Company

Lu Hui, was severely injured by a Pajero V31 automobile because the brakes on the car failed. She was rushed to the hospital but later had to leave on Thursday because her medical expenses were too high.

Pajero V31, a model produced by the Japanese Mitsubishi Motor Vehicle Co., has defective brakes that will lead to a brake malfunction or even failure while driving.

The design flaw was found last September since several accidents had occurred in Yunnan Province and other places due to the poor quality of Pajero brake system.

Zhou Jianhong, Lu's husband, had informed the company's Beijing

office time after time that they couldn't afford the medical costs, hoping Lu's treatment would not be delayed.

Although Mitsubishi, Thursday, apologized to Chinese consumers for its defective cars, the company turned a deaf ear to Zhou's requirement for immediate compensation.

Previously, Mitsubishi had been in trouble due to an outbreak of nationwide discontentment with their refusal to formally apologize and provide compensation.

Zhou said in order to raise money for Lu's medical treatment, he has sold his laundry shop, on which the whole family relies on for income.

Lu was knocked down by a Pajero when its brakes failed on December 25, 2000 in Changsha, capital of central China's Hunan province. Later she was diagnosed as first-degree handicapped because she was paralyzed as a result of the accident.
