Maruti Suzuki — Major Manufacturing defect in engine of Swift VXI

Address:Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh

Hi, I(Swati Khare) bought a new Maruti Suzuki swift vxi, one of the trusted vehicles in the market, on 7 June 2015 from KTL PVT. LTD.(R-Squre Complex, Opposite SRS City Mall, Vipul Khand-6, Gomti Nagar, Lucknow-226010). My vehicle is in brand new condition, my First service was done on 7 july 2015 and I went out of India from 14 july 2015 to 9 Aug 2015 so the vehicle was standing in my house for this time period. Today when I came back I took out the vehicle to go out in the city I had driven nearly 2 kms from my house then suddenly on the high way a noise came and I saw heated fumes so I quickly parked my swift and came out and saw the engine oil was flowing out from the engine so I called the KTL workshop in lucknow and toe chained my vehicle to the workshop. I was shocked with this type of casualty happening in a much trusted brand. I was travelling with my wife the accident could have been major one if I would have been travelling at high speed This is not at all acceptable from maruti suzuki If anything would have happened to me and my wife only maruti suzuki would have been responsible . The guys in the workshop are saying that the whole oil chamber and block has been damaged in the blast My swift was a new one and never had an issue in the past 2 months but this issue is the major one. This could put a question on the maruti's brand value and trust that peole have on maruti. I would like to request you to look into this issue very seriously and on high priority I would not accept this faulty repaired swift, no one knows next time It can blast at high speeds also and could cause severe damages to my life and passengers travelling in it . Please replace this faulty, defective swift with a new one as We do not want to drive a life threatening car any more . I have attached the screen shots of vehicle. Date of Purchase : 7 June 2015 Maruti Suzuki Dealer : KTL PVT. LTD.(R-Squre Complex, Opposite SRS City Mall, Vipul Khand-6, Gomti Nagar, Lucknow-226010) Number of KMs : 642 Registration Number : UP32GH1225 Model : Swift VXI Date of incident : 10 July 2015 Desirable Resolution : Please replace this faulty, defective swift with a new one as We do not want to drive a life threatening car any more

It has been 10 days since the incident happened but there is no appropriate response from the KTL lucknow(UP) and from Maruti.
KTL guys are telling that the incident has happened due to presence of water in the engine. I want to ask that I never washed my car I only gave for the first servicing then how can the water enter into the engine .If a person buys a car he/she will take it out in rainy season also. If water is entering into the engine of Maruti swift then this is a manufacturing defect and they need to resolve this issue why we customers should suffer due to their manufacturing fault.If swift is not suitable for rainy season then Maruti should tell this to all the maruti swift customers. Maruti and the KTL showroom guys are ready to change only the parts that have been effected in the incident and not the whole engine. They also don't care about if the incident will get repeated or not, the passengers riding in it(repaired) swift will be safe or not . We are constantly paying the EMI for our car loan and at the same time we also don't have our vehicle for which we are paying. Please replace this faulty, defective swift with a new one as We do not want to drive a life threatening car any more . We have paid the money and we have driven only 642 KMs and We would not accept the repaired vehicle. Please provide us a better solution.
