Ford ecosport, new model delivery taken on 23rd march 2017, its al 4 months old, new tyres of apollo 205/50 r17, one rear left tyre side wall git crack, with in two months of purchase. Replaced the spare tyre, this one also, at the same spot side wall crack. Means its understood some issue with the quality, spotting in the same location. And also, you cant see any nylon layer, or steel radial. The field engineer who attended the complaint doesnt even have the technical knowledge about the tyre, structure, how it could be., if so he could be able to judge and give correct decision.
In my case, the person who is attending the complaint is differenet, and the decision maker is who is sitting in the office, what does he knows, what exactly the problem.
In my report, they have mentioned sharp object hit the tyre, if so there must be scratch or dent or external visible damage, but it is not there, even the filed engineer has confirmed that, and he says, he has been asked by his superior to write that and close the complaint.
Its alomost i lost my 4 hrs time, we took our own risk to open the tyres and show, it is supposed to be by apolo tyres. Aftre all this end result is zero, why we should be suffered with the bad quality tyres, whic h is most dangerous on road. Also, he has specified not to drive on bare roads with stones, is there any specifications from any tyre manufacturers like that?

Still no reply from Apollo, not responding to my call by Customer care.
Its really very embarrassing response from a reputed concern.
My issue is exactly the same.I own ford ecosport just 2 months old and two tyres have got ruptured around the alloy wheel rim diameter.The Apollo engineer said R17 tyres are not recommended for Indian roads.and ford has not changed its suspension to match this uprising. I asked him to give this to me in writing but he refused.
I have preserved his call recordings.my third tyre has got bulge and two have cracks in same portion of tyre which is problematic as per ford service center in charge.
Ford service manager is supporting the fact that tyres are not good and should be replaced by Apollo
But even after 12 days I am still awaiting the solution in spite of verbal commitment from Apollo engineer

Can we come together and complain in group for such technically Incorrect Apollo tyres in ecosport platinum. R17
I am planning to report this to news channel
But would be good if all o[censored]s come together
Both my new ecosports R17 tyre are damaged beyond repair. The cracks in same portion of tyres occurred at normal speed and normal pune city roads

Ford service manager has also identified technical issue in tyres and has sent emails to Apollo escalating the issue.

BUT APOLLO IS TAKING TOO LONG TO RESPOND 12 days have passed and my ecosport is still in service center

HERE IS MY NUMBER [protected]
