Sub:- Complaint against poor service of Vahini Motors, Pallimukku, Kollam-10.

Sir,

I purchased one Honda Aviator scooter(Model Code: SCV110GA) on 13/05/2010 from Vahini Motors, Pallimukku, Kollam. It started showing problems with self-start after 2 weeks so I informed them about the problem. The service person from Vahini came to my home and I was told that the battery needs to be recharged.

I gave the vehicle for first service and recharging the battery on 17/06/10. The service persons told me that they would give the scooter back after recharging the battery and first service on the same day evening. I was asked to provide my phone number so that they can inform me when the vehicle is ready. But nobody called me and I had to call them back the next day afternoon inquiring the status of the service. They replied that the vehicle is ready for delivery. I asked them why didn't they inform me when it was ready and they replied that they just forgot to call me.

After the first service and battery recharge, the self-start problem was solved but the same problem recurred after a few days. I informed them about the issue and I was told to bring the vehicle to their show room for another recharge. I gave the scooter for second recharge on 22/06/10 at 9:30 AM and they asked me to come back at 5 PM to take the vehicle back.

I reached the service centre at 6 PM traveling 20 km but they simply told me to come next day since the scooter is not ready as the battery was showing problem even after the recharge. I became angry and asked them why didn't you inform me so that I could have avoided traveling around 20 km. This time also they repeated the same answer that somebody forgot to call the customer. Being a valuable customer of Honda, I heard the same excuse two times in a row.

Again, there was no update from them so I called them today(23/06/10). They told me that I would be updated soon. After a few hours, one Mr.Sunil from the service department called me and informed that the battery needs to be replaced. He asked me to come there to collect the battery and a letter for getting the battery replaced. I told him that I can't spent my money, time and effort for getting the battery replaced as its the responsibility of the dealer. But he keeps saying that they can't provide any further assistance for replacing the battery other than giving the letter for replacement.

I got pissed off with their poor support and service. I request you to take necessary actions to get my battery replaced and advise your dealer not to behave like this to the valuable customers of Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India Pvt. Ltd.

For your reference, please see the details given below.

1. It seems like the battery warranty is not under control of the dealer. He will give a letter to the battery dealer for free replacement.

2. And second thing there is a possibility of battery problem again due to the recharge of the vehicle. Mostly the recharging system have some problem in charging the battery. Better get it tested from any one of the "good" dealers near by.

3. Drop a complaint to the consumer court near by with photocopies of documents u have through a registered INDIA POST with acknowledge card and before that inform the dealer that you are going to give consumer complaint against him if he believes he should help the customer better give him time.

After all this is India you can expect this much only from dealers as a average. They do not know the meaning of a customer and customer rights.

Best of luck.

A very BAD experience from "HONDA" brand after sales service, not expecting this kind of Quality mishap from this company. We are almost suffering due to the Battery Proble which is down from the very first month of purchase, and till date we are being told by the service center that you have to wait for the battery for another 6 months. May i know know why you are not taking the battery failure as your QUALITY failure . I am expecting this complaint to reach the Service Quality head of Honda Motors . Many more options are also available with me to move ahead but I want a response from your side.Definetly I HAD NOT Enjoyed so called "QUALITY"

Vehicle is fine, but, the EXIDE maintenance free battery goes within or over 1 year. EXIDE 4L battery which Aviator uses is hell to you. It is not Maintenance Free… It is a big Headache since you need to change your Battery.

One more highlight is Battery casing they use which doesnot allow 5L battery to fit in (5L battery is being used in Activa and Dio). You need to take care you have to buy only 4L battery for Aviator which is not available in Amaron.
I brought Amaron BTX5L battery on recomendation from the service center guys since, they told Activa or Dio battery would fit. But, to my agony after purchasing 5L battery, they took the vehicle to replace the battery only to discover that it only fits with 4L battery which is not available in Amaron.
Service guy asked me to get Exide 4L battery only. I got very annoyed and angry. Why should I buy Exide… It is the worst battery I found. Even, I had to replace this EXIDE battery for my car too. EXIDE BATTERY IS LIKE SUICIDE BATTERY… it will kill itself very soon and creates a big problem to the owner.
I stongly recommend as being a customer to Honda…. not to go for EXIDE battery which is obviously a big headache for the customers.

Now, I need to change the Battery casing with fabricated plate holder to fit my BTX5L Amaron battery into my Aviator. Also one suggestion to Amaron battery to manufacture 4L pro-bike batteries since, I found this to be a good battery and none of the aviator owners should face the problems which myself and other aviator owners faced till now.

Customer satisfaction should be every company’s motto.

Yesterday, I changed the original Exide battery of our Aviator after facing the self-start problem for over a month.My reliable and experienced auto-mechanic gave me the same feedback and changed the battery at a price of Rs.1345/- all inclusive with a two year warranty.Although I am satisfied with the vehicle otherwise, a world famous company like Honda should live up to its reputation by immediately looking into this issue.

Sub:- Complaint against battery problem

This is really a very bad experience considering I have bought so called reliable company like Honda. Within 3 months of buying I had self start problem. Even after service personal taking care to problem, it is still persisting. It's being 1 and half year now and still living hell. I had Activa before and was very impressed and thinking it would be the similar experience with aviator I bought it. I would never buy anything Honda again. All that wonderful experience with Activa is wiped clean with this experience. If a reputed company can resort to outsourcing such bad batteries for their vehicle.
Now I have to spend almost every 2 months for doing repair work. I have to spend more again on new battery. This is very irritable.
Like I said I am NEVER going to buy HONDA again.
