[Resolved]  Mahindra & Mahindra — Dangerous Design

Address:

Ernakulam, Kerala

I own a Xylo E6-of Aug 2010, which is single driven and clocked only 7000 KM so far. I had a horrifying experience today: While driving at good speed, ie. 60 KM/hr , suddenly a warning came up that the “alternator not working and battery not charging”, thereafter the brakes became very hard and vehicle went out of control. Only to my luck, that patch of road was empty and nearby there was slushy field where I could stop the vehicle. Earlier once, after 40 KM of continuous drive, the fuel pump gave up and vehicle did not start. Enough is enough.. I gonna sell Xylo and no more Mahindra products. Hope the TVS service stn. (Ernakulam) will not qoute any excuse not to replace alternator and fuel pump under warranty. This feature of design wherein the "Brake getting hard when alternator fails", Steering getting hard when engine stops" are of extreme safety concern and govt. should do something to ban such vehicles from road.
