[Resolved]  Ford — SUBSTANDARD TYRES

Address:Dehradun, Uttarakhand

I purchased a Ford Fiesta Classic from A B Motors Dehradoon in mid June 2011. Two tyres cracked within 1700 kms one after the other within four days after the car was just two months old. I have written to Mr Michael Boneham, CEO Ford India explaining details and demanded compensation..but to no avail. My local dealer has been kind enough to replace just one tyre though. The tyres have cracked from the side walls and not one but two tyres consecutively. This clearly indicates poor manufacturing quality/defect. Even the quality of remaining three tyres is therefore suspect. I have written to the CEO Ford India for a replacement of all five tyres. The Company has been unreasonable in refusing to replace these tyres.

Ford — Replacement of tyre

this are the mail that I have send to ford, complete detail is written in this mail.


Respected sir/madam,

I am continously contacting you to look over my complaint, every day I
make calls on your toll free numers, and even mailed you many times,
but their is no response from your side. this is my sixth mail to ford
and I had called more than 5 times. Every day when I make call to you,
your company representative give assurance to me that they will look
over my complaint and will call back to me.
but their is no response from their side......Either ford has no
interest in solving customer problems or they have so many complaints,
ford didnt get time.

I think ford company had no time to look over the customer complaint,
i regret to inform you that none of the promises, mentioned in your
SERVICE PLEDGE are being adhered to by your team, atleast not at
vinayaka Ford,Indore . I have nothing personal against Ford nor
Vinayaka.

Ford, i hate myself for having wasted last 6 days to you coz i know
you wont be able to do much in this mater, however i DREAD sending
this vehicle back to vinayaka Ford. I dont think that i will be using
my remaining few services as a part of the deal thanks to this
experience of mine with Vinayaka Ford & Ford Motors .
But honestly when i read this service pledge of yours today i felt
that it was a big sham and decided to waste my 30 mins to bring this
out to your notice.

I had requested you regarding my problem on your Toll free number
(10/11/10), your representative promised me to look into the issue and
told me to get back to me after talking to dealer to get to me to
with solution in next 24hrs. But I would like to report pathetic
service of Ford India is here.....

also plz plz for god`s sake update ur call center profile. 99% of the
time that i am trying to reach it past 2 days via phone it was found
to... be busy and forwarded on some line which again was overfilled to
record any complaints and then to an attendant who never answered.
Now I am thinking whether I have actually made a mistake by purchasing
a Ford car by going against the advice of my family and friends. I
have not spent 8 lacs on the Ford hatch to live with bulging out
tyres.

Ford still seems miles behind service standards set by other Car
companies in India.
Keep On going FORD... no replies no support.
Great way of reducing costs and relatively making good savings

Respected Sir/Madam,

I had purchased ford fiesta from Vinayaka ford, Indore (M.P.) dated
2nd Nov 2009 on name Mr. Prem Patni Vehicle No. M.P 09 CE 7902
At the time of purchasing dealer had created a lot of problem to us,
Please do check your record.
Now again we had encountered with the problem in the one of the five
tyre, we have reported to the Service center on Monday to clear it.
But one of the service man or Supervisor (Mr. Ratnish Nair) misbehaved
us & didn't listened to our problem. and denied to cooperate with us,
they told us this tyre is not the product of ford its your problem, go
to tyre dealer. after a long conversation they get ready and deposited
our tyre.

.now i just want to inform you that within one year tyre is bulging
out, and i want a replacement for that. Since within 6300 Km tyre are
bulging out,

Please response to my problem

thanking you
Sourabh Patni S/O Prem Patni
