Mahindra First Choice — Mileage tampering and false data

Address:

Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh

I have purchased a second hand car Oct, 2014 (ford fiesta ) from Mahindra First choice Kondapur (near R.T.O ) office. It was 2007 model. Odometer reading showed 35, 000 Kms while I purchased and I thought it was correct as it is from Mahindra first choice and there wont be any fraud in it . They are few complaints initially (side mirror issues) wiper blade tank has leak they cleared that. Later I complained about suspension as I found it weak they took saying they will get it checked and they returned saying that there is not issue in it. As I did not have expertise in using cars I thought it was OK as still saw isses . After few days I again complained directly to MFC and after I took it to CARZ upon their guidance (their affliated service center maybe) and later they told it wont be covered in their 6 month warranty. There is wheel alignment issue which I myself got sorted as they were not doing it . I replaced 2 tyres as the wheel alignment guy told they are worn out. After 9 months of purchase I had seen issues with AC sometimes petrol smell coming and colling not efficient and also seen that sometimes car stops suddenly when I go from 1st to 2nd gear especially at signals for which I had got several warning from police. Later I took it for service to Ford and they had spotted several issue(brake pads gone + AC gas leakage+ suspension+steering rod ) with the vehicle I got some cleared but even after service now vehicle stops several times in middle of the road even for small trips (20kms). After I stop engine for some time it starts again and again it stops again. Yesterday it stopped several times and somehow I managed to reach home. What I learnt for some source when I got the history of the vehicle is that it was last serviced(before I purchased) in July 2014 and by that time it made 60, 000 kms In Oct 2014 when I bought they tampered the speedometer and show 35000. This is real fraud. One of my friend also went to buy a car there knowing I brought it from there. They showed Honda city 2007 model and showed odometer reading as ~65000kms but on enquiry they found that it to be 1, 40, 000Kms driven alrady and they tampered the reading. Thinking MFC is genuine is a big mistake it is real fraud (dont know if it by loacal dealer) still I hold Mahindra First choice resposible for that. So please dont buy used cars from MFC...!!!
