Address: | Chennai, Tamil Nadu |
I had just been to Bangalore and back to Chennai, after reaching Bangalore I experienced puncture in the left rear on the tread area and on the sidewall. I fixed the puncture from a puncture shop and it has until now stayed.
Yesterday(04th Sep 2014) in Chennai, I drove the car to office and while leaving the office at night, found the rear right puncture. I replaced the wheel with spare and drove home.
Today(05th Sep 2014) I had to visit the fiat service station for some other reason. I asked them to fix the puncture. When they took wheel, they found the puncture on the sidewall again for the rear right.
The vehicle is just a year and a half and has just done 17109 kms. If the sidewalls are going to damaged like this and if it cannot be fixed or even if fixed it might not stay, since the pressure is constantly applied to the sidewalls while driving, I really am concerned about the quality of the product.
In my previous car I had GoodYear tyres and had not faced any such issues for 51000 kms.
This is sheer cheating and taking the customers for a ride. I would certainly demand a complete replacement of all the 4 tyres from the company for giving such a poor quality product. Was this information helpful? |
I have never seen a tyre damaging so early in its life span and that too in the side wall. If it was just one tyre I would agree, but both the rear tyres being damaged in just a week shows the poor quality.
We need to stand up against the car manufactures and be strict with them that we would not buy a car if it comes with apollo tyres.
