[Resolved]  Skoda Laura — terrible quality issues

i faced major issues with the car airconditioning of my skoda lura ( may 2006 model) for 7 mnths through the summer of 2007.. the servcie centres kept on playing hide and seek game and my car had to go through umpteen times to the servcie centres before skoda finally had the air conditioning fixed.. it is already winter now and i have no ide if it works actually.
another preculiar problem i have fced is that the tyres bulge out for the laura afterv some time...i understand that this seems to be problem faced by many skoda laura customers.. aparrtently the wieght of the car and the tyres are out of synch./.. would like to hear if others have faced similar issues

this is reg the bad experience i had purchasing new FABIA.
I booked a FABIA under the name Mr. Pramod Kr. Gupta on 03.02.2008 thru Oberoi Motors, Dehradun. i had even given a booking amount of
Rs. 10000.00 as i was confirmed a delivery by 12.02.2008 for Satin Grey in Classic.
i again visited the showroom on 06.02.2008 when i was reassured the delivery by 12.02.08.
Yesterday i asked my ICICI loan agent to reconfirm the delivery, when we were on a conference call. Mr. Amit the sales executive at Oberoi Motors asks the agent to misguide us and ask us to pay another Rs. 100000.00 as down payment and once the payment is done then they will take another 15-20 days for the delivery and 12.02.08 was confirmed just to get the car booked still if the customer is in hurry then convince him to buy white color in ambiente which is available, this was all that i was hearing.
i was really shocked to hear this from a company that is has just started to grow on customer confidence.
when i contact other dealers in Delhi or haryana, none is willing to offer the car for other state as a pact between all the dealers.
Because of this monopoly we customers are being taken for granted and are cheated which is bringing a bad repute to the SKODA.
finally i have planned to drop the idea of buying any Skoda car,if this is the servise before sales then what it would be after.
Thank god you chose the right path

There is a weight and abnormal tire wear out problem in the Laura as rightly pointed out by you. Any amount of Wheel Alignment or Balancing wont help. The tyres on this car dont go more than 40000km whereas on other car you can get up to 65000 with normal driving and following tire rotation and alignment schedules. Some how this car is a BIG LIABILITY and I hate myself for buying it. Toyota and Honda are better options.
