Honda Cars India Ltd. — Bad tyres on my new honda city mh46-al-3789

Address:

Mumbai City, Maharashtra, 400058

I bought my NEW HONDA CITY on 14.02.2014 from Apex Honda Mumbai. In the last 10 months the front left tyre is punctured 15 times. The vehicle drags to the left due to the bad tyres. The valves of both the front tyres were found leaking and are both replaced within 10 months from the date of purchase. I drove a Hyundai - Santro before and used it for 9.5 yrs before purchasing my new Honda City. For the 9.5 yrs. that I used Hyundai - Santro, it developed puncture just 3 times and not a single tyre valve had to be replaced. In my new Honda city in a short span of 10 months, there are total 15 punctures developed in front left tyre and 4 punctures in front right tyre plus the valves of both the front tyres are replaced. I have spent nearly Rs 3550.00 on tyre related faults ( Rs 150 (per puncture ) x 19 (Total punctures) = Rs 2850 Plus 2 valves x Rs 350 each = Rs 700 ) in a short span of 10 months. I can safely conclude that the tyres supplied with the new Honda City are of inferior quality and this is totally unacceptable in a car costing Rs 12.5 Lacs which is a lot of money in India. Pls escalate this matter to the Honda management and send me contact details of Honda’s technical director responsible for tackling such issues. I don’t want to trouble the dealership, since this is a manufacturing defect and dealer doesn’t have much of a role in this.
