[Resolved]  Kinetic Flyte — Criminal negligence

Hi,

This is with reference to my earlier complaint regarding the Kinetic Flyte that I had bought from the Kinetic showroom - Sri Surya Wheels, Ranigunj, Hyderabad 8 months ago. I have been having a problem with the vehicle from the 2nd month onwards and despite repeated complaints there seems to be no solution in sight. To give you the history once again.

I took my vehicle for its first servicing and on receiving the same realized that petrol was leaking. I took it back to Sri Surya Wheels and they changed the tank as it had developed a leak. After that I had the same tank leak problem and other problems for which i wrote to you. This time you sent Mr. Mohan to repair the vehicle, which he did.

On 10th Jan, 2008 I took the vehicle for servicing because the tank was leaking again. The workshop engineer tells me that the tank will leak if I fill the tank, so only fill it 1/2 and I shall have no problems. He also said that this is a problem with this model and that I will need to manage in this manner.

Now my tank is continually leaking and there are heavy fumes around my vehicle. I called Sri Surya Wheels today and told them that the tank is leaking and i need them to come and repair the problem. The workshop engineer tells me that there is no danger if the tank is leaking and i can ride and bring the same to the workshop for them to check it out.

If an accident happens to property or person due to the leakage of petrol I will hold Kinetic Honda liable for criminal negligence and will sue the company for damages. Despite repeatedly bringing the matter to your Dealer and company's notice both of you have been taking the complaints very lightly. It is obvious that non of you understand the magnitude of the danger this vehicle poses.

I am once again asking the company to do the decent thing and return my money and take this vehicle back. As per your own dealer this model has a problem and has no business being on the roads in the first place. If you have sold me a faulty piece and there is no permanent solution to the problem, and I was not told about this problem at the time of buying the vehicle, then the onus of restitution lies with Kinetic. Why am i being made to run from pillar to post?

verrrrrrrrry poor service at RAMESH CORPORATION AUTOMOBILE, AHMEDABAD.
I have been having the same problem with my Kinetic Flyte, purchased from the same dealer in Feb-08 I have had the Petrol tank replaced thrice already and repaired once in the middle, since they did not have stock. Initially, the dealer refused to change it under warranty and tried to reason that reckless driving might be the cause, where the bottom of the scooter has scraped the speed breakers. But on showing him evidence that there are no external scratches or dents on the bottom of the vehicle assured him and he replaced the Tank, but I find that the life of the petrol tank seems to be only 5-6 months after which it has to be replaced.
Mahindra Two Wheelers, who now owns and manufactures this scooter should either reimburse the amount back to customers and take the vehicle back, or provide a lifelong warranty for the Petrol tank, so that owners can atleast be saved from spending more money on a defective product.

There is also a problem with the Brakes on the vehicle, where they need to be tightened every month or so. And, the problem with the petrol tank makes the pickup sluggish sometimes and cold starts is a common issue being faced.
I am also facing the same issue and looking for a solution. I contacted the company but no resolution so far.
if you have any tips on this email me at gmail.com id :kmukul
