[Resolved]  Fiat Palio — Issue with fiat Palio Tyres: Bigger issue to just find a way to post complaint

Hello every one,
I was use public forums because I was not able to post my complaint to Fiat. Even the “Help Desk” link on the website is NOT LETTING ME TO POST ANY SERVICE THING FOR NATURE “COMPLAINT-SERVICE”. The interface is letting me to proceed in the other two categories.
Even your CEO CORNER link is also broken
Even Concorde motors contact us link is not working
The background:
I am having a Palio Style SDX (KA 01 ME 2901). I was getting is serviced as per the directions given in the Tata Fiat service station (CONCORDE MOTORS (INDIA) LIMITED, Bharani Indus Area, ChikkaBegurGate, Hosur Road). I noticed my front tyers getting an irregular wear and tear. I approached the service station, having a presumption that there must be some issues with the baring, which was the most obvious conclusion I could have reached to looking at the tyres condition.
It was promptly checked and I was told that there is no issue with the baring and suspension. I was asked to keep the tyres under observation for next 500 Km also rotate the tyres which I had already done it a 2-3 days before.
For the next 500 km the tyres seemed to be fine. I drove the car for almost 4000 km and started to feel the same all over again. I went back to the service station they told alignment and all is fine. The will call the tyre company representative and I have to come over.
After 2-3 days the tyre company representative came and he told that there is no issue from his side. I was told the alignment is ok. He went off.
Now I was told that they will try to process the issue and find out what can be done. This was in the conversation with the manager at the service station.
They came back after few days today, told that there is nothing more they can do.
My issue:
- I am NOT CONVINCED by the explanation given to me for the reason of this irregular wear and tear. Rather it always felt like passing the bug off to someone else. And finally told may be the alignment, which they told whenever I came to them is fine.
- Now after doing all what was told to me I am at the loss of 4 tyres which no one is taking a responsibility off
- Even if I get all 4 new tyres which they were asking me to buy what is the guaranty that same thing will not happen again, as what all I understand there is no fix done for the cause.
- I was always told by people in the service station right from the service engineer to the top level guy to get Bridgestone tyres and I will not face this issue. If this is the case they why dose Fiat gives Goodyear
I hope you understand the issue and get me some convincing answers
Regards

this is an age old problem with fiat .i own a palio 1.2 2001 model. and I have gone through all this 9 yrs ago . i complained to every channel possible. even international head of fiat was personally mailed . one manager at gurgaon even threatened me with dire consequences if i donot stop troubling him.but nothing concrete has been done so far for the rectification of the problem.
I have a similar problem with my Fiat Palio Stile SDX MJD. Even after adjusting the camber, replacing the tyres, replacing the front shock absorbers, the tyres are showing uneven wear. I am absolutely clueless as to what could be the issue here. No one at the dealership is interested in helping me out. I took those buggers to consumer forum but the stupid judjes on the bench passed the buck off. I just want a solution to my problem. Is there any?

The less said about the Fiat Palio services rendered by the TVS or Tata Motors, the better. Worst possible feedback ever was heard from the buyers of fiat palio.
The Concorde (Khairathabad, Hyderabad) people who sold me the car promised heaven n earth at the time of purchase. They even offered an official after-sales fitment of CNG/LPG kit which was to be released for their Indica etc., Hahahahahahahahahaha. That never happened.
They promised servicing in Uppal (nearer to my home). Those at Uppal flatly refused to touch the palio even for replacement fuse (I bought it myself).
At the time of the first service at Sanath Nagar, the floor mats and one ashtray vanished. The second time, the felt lining under the bonnet went missing. (This, I did not notice because I did not open the bonnet for about few months after free the services. I noticed it only when I saw the lining in other palios at some other workshop). Third time, the rubber skirting under the wind dam disappeared...I never gave the car again to the Concorde people.
Now, the problem o[censored]neven wear of the Goodyear tyres arose. The suspension, camber, toe-in etc were examined, pronounced 'no problem'. Then they advised replacement of entire set of tires. I was thinking about it and came across this site and the problem seemed to be faced by many others also. Now I don't know whether to change the tyres or not.
Coming to other spares, they are exorbitantly priced n scare away the owner of the car, if at all they are available off the shelf. The original rear view mirror assembly costs you a bomb. The main aim of these dealers seems to thoroughly discourage the owners coming back to them for after sales service. They are just pulling on and thriving by the sales talk of the sales team and the lack of wisdom on the prospective buyers (poor suckers!) and nothing else.
My friend along with whom I purchased the car smelled a rat quite early and sold off the car within one year after the purchase. Lucky escape indeed.
