[Resolved]  Maruti Suzuki — New SWIFT ZDI (Diesel) Broke Down due to Clutch Plates Worn out 2 times with 23,000KM drive

Hi, This is Nagaraj Kamath. I bought new Swift ZDI(Diesel) from Mandovi(J. P. Nagar Bangalore) 2 years back by now. Swift ZDI is with new engine and newly released to the market in Nov-2011. Until on Nov-2011 Swift ZDI (Diesel) was not existing. First time it broke down with clutch plates completely worn out after 17, 000KM drive(in 1.5 years). I have been servicing it with Bimal Mahadevapura and I had to toe my car after it broke down completely. Bimal replaced the whole clutch assembly charging me around 8K Rs. I thought this would solve the problem. Again I got a shock when my Swift broke down for same clutch worn out problem in just 5, 000KM from the clutch replacement. Again They replace the clutch charging me 8K Rs. The reason Bimal gives is clutch worn out because of driving problem. I had experience of driving Alto before Swift which I drove for 22000KM and I never faced clutch problem. In Swift ZDI My clutch got replaced twice in 23000KM. I think there is clutch related problems in Swift ZDI(Turbo Diesel engines) which are yet to be proven as they are not existing in market for too long to prove themselves. When I raise this point, many people tend to disagree and say swift is proven vehicle but they forget to note that SWIFT ZDI is released in Nov. 2011. This is not the swift which is existing from 2005 onwards. I’m Planning to sell this off soon…. A unsatisfied customer of Maruti. Nagaraj Kamath [protected]
