[Resolved]  Honda Unicorn — Rotten & leaking petrol tank

Hello,
I purchased Honda Unicorn 3.5 years back, from Sterling Honda, Chinchwad(Pune).
Recently the petrol started leaking from the tank. I took it to the service station and found that the bottom of hte tank is completly rotten and beyond repairs. I hardly drive my bike in rains and still this happened. I have a hero honda CD 100, which never had such a problem in past 12 years.
The service engineer at Sterling took pictures of the tank and said he will send them to the head office and let me know within a week. Now I received a call saying that the main office (Mr. Prashant Shinde) rejected to take any action since the bike is out of the guarantee period.
If the tank gets rotten in 3 years, should the bike become a piece of junk in total 5 years? When I paid 54 thousand rupees, I expected a quality product from Honda stable. What I got in return is a rotten piece of junk.

I want to pull Honda motorcycles India in the Consumer court for selling such a substandard product. Can somebody please tell me how to approach Consumer court and what will be the charges? There are many people like me, who are suffered and need justice. (many many bad reviews on this bike on www.mouthshut.com)

Please advise,
Rahul Deshpande ([protected]@gmail.com)

I also have a problem with my petrol tank. The rain water goes into the tank. In rainy seasons i have to clean the petrol tank every 15 - 20 days to get the water out of it ( Atleast 1 - 1.5 Litre water is thers every time). And the worst part of it is that they dont do it in the authorised service centre i have to do it with a local mechanic who is now taking full care of my vehicle ofcourse i will neber again go to the authorised service center
Hi all,
i am also facing the same problem, my bottom of the fuel tank is full of holes, i bought it on dec 2004. Wht can we do about this ?
