[Resolved]  Maruti Suzuki, Ertiga Car — Delivery Schedules are not being met and delieveries are been delayed fro even petrol vehicle. Reasons Unknown and no explanation provided.

Address:

Maharashtra

Hi All,

This is in reference to the Eritiga ZXI which I booked with Mahalaxmi Automobiles, Pune. When the vehicle was booked, I was told that being a petrol vehicle delivery will be met within 30-45 days (Verbal commitment), but to be on safer side they mentioned 60 days time(Written commitment). Now, after multiple follow up (you can refer my mobile bill) starting with the sales person to the manager, I am being told after 45 days that your vehicle can’t be delivered because o[censored]navoidable reasons and you need to wait for next 3 months. What reasons no one knows. On 31st May-12, I was informed that the vehicle has been dispatched and will be available within next 10 days, I went ahead and sold my previous car. Now, I am in a tight situation, as I don’t have a car. I need to rely on my two wheeler. I am in a fix, because of your wrong commitments and bad follow up.
Maruti doesn't admit this especially for Petrol version, I haven't seen any information or news being published in a print or electronic media. This is absurd. I don't understand, Why does a company give a written commitments when they can’t be met. It’s amazing a company of international repute not able to meet it's commitment. Or does the company policy stands on “Promises are made to be broken”. I am still in a state of shock and in a fix.
I feel Maruti needs to come out in open and give an explanation why they are not able to meet their commitments, why are they playing with common people on the road, are we so dumb that anyone can comer and fool us. I am not going to take it lying low and would like to take it further. I am getting a sense that couple of people who got the vehicles were either friends or relatives of the dealer. This issue needs to be probed and if required needs to be taken up in consumer court. But before that I would like to share with the general public the way things and fact are being distorted.

Kindly help me to have this issue escalated through electronic media. For details please refer the below email from the dealer:
