Ford India Complaints & Reviews

We bought ecosport titanium model car in 2016may, after six months i observed rust on front and rear wifer arms and rust forming on the body also i have seen in two places, after one year we observed oil consumption problem also, after six months i have been observing that rust forming on the alley wheels also i have seen some bubbles on the wheels they look like very ugly, regarding all the problems i complained in lakshmi ford service centre in guntur in andhrapradesh. They took all the photos and sent to the company finally they agreed to replace the wifer arms and replace the part in engine to rectify oil consumption problem and to rectify the rust on the body problem but they did not say anything about alley wheels rust problem so i would like to loadge a compliment in consumers court against all these problems. I think i got very worst piece from the ford company...

Sharing in chronological order.
Dark smoke been noticed just beneath the wipers-front glass, under bonnet, somewhere near to oxygen sensor. This has happened after the car was just parked, drove hardly 7-8 km in local. (Chances are there where smoke might have started few minutes earlier, before the car was brought to rest at my residence-apartment parking)
The moment i parked, noticed smoke coming out inside the bonnet, i immediately switched "off" the engine and called ford india support. They advised me to get the vehicle to ford service for inspection.
Immediately private car towing service has been called at my residence and car been brought to so called great elite ford service, mahadevpura to understand the root cause for smoke and solution. Ford service have asked me that they will give a call back once vehicle service is done.
After couple of days, elite ford asked me to come down and collect the vehicle. I rushed to the service center to get the vehicle. To my astonishment on asking the reason for smoke, i was answered a weird reason saying "sir some debris of old cloths/plastic found near to oxygen sensor device which got melted due to heat and hence the smoke. Nothing to worry,,,???
The reply was having no technical backbone and i was just restless. Further, i asked ford technical guys to start the engine and run it for few minutes before actual road drive test and final handover of vehicle.
To be shocked just after 7-9 minutes of engine in"on"condition, again smoke started coming out of engine rear side - somewhere near to oxygen sensor. Immediately i brought the issue to the notice of ford service manager. He asked some of his other technical staff to recheck and asked me to wait for a while and finally told me that vehicle is"ok"now, please pay 4227 inr. I paid the amount, billing was made for changing some front hose pipe + few oils + others xyz.
I paid the amount and since the situation seems suspicious, again i started the engine to observe for any issue to ensure complete piece of mind. Shocked to see, smoke coming out again, just after 5-7 minutes when engine in"on"keeping accelerator at 1.5 rpm, immediately i shown smoke issue again to your ford manager + other staff members who were present near to my vehicle.in sudden, now i has been asked to come down after 2-3 days.
After couples of days, i received a call from ford service to collect the vehicle. I visited and i was told that vehicle is"ok". Due to worst past experience i thought let's start the engine and check it again for 10 min, in case no smoke issue / other issue are visible let's close the smoke chapter here and enjoy pleasant driving.
Shocking here again - smoke started coming from the same area when engine kept just"on"for almost 7-10 min (No driving) and now your ford manager was having no answer rather to lying, saying that debris still keep on melting hence the smoke. He finally asked me come in next week and they will clean the so called debris area to resolve the smoke issue permanently.
After few days, again i got a call from elite ford to collect my vehicle stating that its free from any technical engine fault and smoke issue has been fixed.
To be noted : this was my third visit to elite ford service and before to get the vehicle out from elite ford campus, i again switched"on" the engine and kept it 7-10 min, voila - smoke started coming out from same engine area and now your ford services managers + service advise having no answer.
As on date, it's 4 months completed today, i am without my vehicle and there is no solution or reason shared for smoke issue. Despite serious issue of smoke that may be hazardous and vehicle is not safe to drive, elite ford service center staff + managers have tried returning back me the vehicle by hook or crooks in the same dangerous condition. The issue also recalls for the fact that ford india does not have well qualified mechanics who can identify the issue and certify that the car is free from technical fault and 100 % safe to drive.

Threat this mail as a single reminder before legal proceeding. I want immediate resolution.

Dear sir/madam,
I dayanand wade have purchased a ford aspire sports edition from samadhiya ford guna on 08.02.2018. The ford aspire sports edition is have tyres of r15 195/55 but the spare tyre in the boot is of size r14 174/65. Why is this difference. When i spoke with the sales person. They told that its provided by the company itself.
I launched a complaint in ford site. But the resason provided by them is that its only for emergency purpose. If this is the reason then why not the logic is applied in ford aspire other variants. Ford aspire sports edition is a part of ford aspire variant only. Then why is this difference done with the sports edition and not with the other variants.
Is the emergency purpose concerned only with the sports edition variant.
As ford being a very keened company according to safety & that is why i have chosen the ford as my vehicle, but safety is directly compromised when i use the spare wheel as the car would be riding only towards one size.
Please consider my issue on priority to the maximum level.
Regards,
Dayanand wade

We booked a car “ecosport-1.5-titanium-petrol-lightining blue” for official use on 11/01/2018 in the name of “national insurance co, ltd.” (A govt. Of india-u/t) with user name: rajeev ranjan from the dealer “jayshree motors pvt. Ltd.- ranchi” having its registered office at jamshedpur.
On 04/01/2018 the sale team of ranchi called me to deposit entire amount with assurance of delivery of the booked car by 14/01/2018. We made entire payment (I. E. Ex-showroom price+ insurance+reg. & tax) on 05/01/2018 and mailed the dealer to deliver the car on due date.
On very next day i. E. On 06/01/2018 we received a stunning call from sale team-ranchi “ you have to wait for 06 weeks to take delivery of booked car”.
It is a very grave & serious matter. The dealer may use this govt. Fund for its own business rotation and cash flow.
To rectify this grave marketing malpractice of the dealer, to avoid complicacy of further litigation, to alleviate the mental agony of valuable customer and to keep customer relation intact with your esteemed car company, please arrange to deliver the booked car immediately (Ideally within a week).
Kindly inform your line of action on “mail-id: rajeev. [protected]@nic.co.in”

I was driving on highway with my family and all of the sudden my ford figo car engine got stopped, and did not start again. I got stucked on highway with my family and this was really unsafe. I had to drop my car there only and made arrangements to take my family to the city and then my car to the workshop. I came to know that timing belt has broken. It was quite a surprise as i have been getting my car's timely service on ford workshops and i was never told that the belt to be changed. Although on inquiring on workshop, your people said that timing belt must not break before 1 lac km. My car has hardly run 65 thousand km. Then the repair expenses estimate was given around 50 thousand.
I have been getting the service done at authorised workshop and never advised on this. This incident incurred expenses and more over a big risk. I am not liable to pay any expenses incurred, please help in getting the solution urgently.

This is to bring into your kind notice that i am really disappointed by service being offered by ford india, i purchased ecosport (Up -16 bk 3454) last year and currently facing problem with battery. I informed noida ford from where i purchased the vehicle. Yesterday (06 feb 2018) they picked my car from my home and supposed to check the battery.

Issue: battery has no gravity and easily drained after some time when you keep car’s music system on for some time (Approx 1- 1.5 hrs), and in order to start the car it requires push manually with the help of people.

Today (07 feb 2018), service man called me and saying that since you have deployed after marker lights in headlight and aux led light which caused wiring to be cut that is why car’s battery is draining. This is totally illogical and they are using wiring cut as an excuse. If service man is right then no one would have gone for hid headlights and everyone would have been suffering with same problem.

I would put some light on this matter, right after 2 months of vehicle purchase when there were no hid and aux lights, i have had same problem but i ignore because after that i didn’t use car in stand by that much.

After seeing wire cut they are just making an excuse, i want battery replacement as it is under warranty else i have to knock other door which may ruins your reputation and especially noida ford.

I hope you will revert me asap.

Regards,
Peeyush s

We bought ford ecosport 1.5l diesel trend+ on 30th sep 2017. Vin no majaxxmrkahp45679 and vehicle no is ts08fk9845. Yesterday i. E on 02nd feb 2018 the vehicle brokedown all of a sudden. The vehicle was towed to fortune ford in hyderabad and the dealer told that clutch plates has to be replaced and asked us to pay 12000 rupees for the replacement. He further said that engine has to be opened entirely. How could the vehicles engine will be opened just in the 3 months of the vehicle purchased and why should we pay money when it is in the warranty period. I request the forum to please go through the issue and do the justice

I do have the same problem. Even in my case the ford service centre had informed that 2 injectors and some plate is damaged and had demanded 100, 000 inr for repair. I bought my ford figo in 2013 and its driven only 49k. I took my car for repair of steering pulleys at harpreet ford, service centre. During the inspection of the vehicle the service engineer told me that the car engine is missing. I did not understand the actual problem but he told me that it had to do with the engine. He suggested to do the compression testing to check if the problem is with the engine or fuel injectors. After compression test dealership confirmed that the engine is faulty and need to open the engine to check the problem. And then the horror came. I was informed that the ford had not accepted to take the charges for engine repair and had blamed me for the damage. They said the diesel used is of bad quality. I had 1 more car running on diesel, one year older than this car and is driven in totality 95 k but no such problem with that car so far. Interestingly i use the same gas station for diesel filling in both cars. All the complaints above and referance i had for my own, it seems ford had a very bad quality assurance plan and bad quality check system. Also from the year of purchase of all the cars it seems the engine manufactured during that time were defective, more of latent defect in them.

I bought new ecosports in Dec. I m not satisfied with tyre size or suspension. Car gives shock jerks on speed breakers. I m very disappointed. So once. So once send technical person to check this issue. My contact number is I bought new ecosports in Dec. I m not satisfied with tyre size or suspension. Car gives shock jerks on speed breakers and too much body roll is in running on normal roads. I m very disappointed. So I need a technical support to check this issue.

I m waiting for ur technical response.

HI Team,
This is to share an experience which impacts my satisfaction level to an extent, as iam a privileged customer of FORD and recently I’ve purchased a new Car FORD FIGO on 13th Oct and I was delighted after owning a car, but eventually this instance hits my satisfaction level and I was not expecting this type of response from FORD.
Instance: - regret to inform you that iam facing an issue with a tyre which was completely damaged when it was replaced with spare one when I felt that it’s been punctured.
Local mechanic showed the condition of that TYRE as it was damaged from inside.
Same I’ve communicated to the Agency “CARGO FORD” (Vadodara) but they are annoying by saying that this type of issues are not covered in guarantee/warranty provided by the company.
Goodyear dealer voice:-TYRE is run on low inflation/flat condition and it will not cover under warranty but this is counter that I am an employee whose daily Run from office to home is ~5 km.

Need resolution regarding the same and let me know if there is any chance to retain your privileged customer for future who already bought 2 Ford car?

Regards
Nakul

And the second thing is that i complained about speedometer also (Uncontrolled steering during driving) 3months ago but the problem was rectified after 3months. Like these somany problems i have been faced with this car... Everytime i go to showroom they used to keep the car with them nearly 1week and above even though it is a small problem. They are behaving rudely with customer while during in call... Saying dat i cut the call in middle... And i have faced somany problems with service men in warangal ford showroom. This is the worst service i have experienced. They even doesn't know the problem though i have send video about steering problem during running car.. Like these somany problems are there but they are not responding. They are saying silly reasons when ever i go to showroom.. I'm getting irritated with there service. So i kept mail for you.

Hi team,

I own a ford figo (Dl 10 cf 3802) bought in the year 2013. I get my car serviced at harpreet ford gurgaon.

There are multiple issues in my car as listed below:
1. There is cabin noise that has been persisting since a very long time / light adjustment.
2. I have changed the front wheels of the car twice already and still the new tyres have already worn out to the maximum within 1.5 years of changing them.

I have given them multiple reminders about the issues listed above but they have been unable to give me proper solution to any of them. I have been following up with them constantly but i have been disappointed to say the least.

Meanwhile i checked with other servicing station for second opinion and it has come to my notice that there is problem in the shockers of the car (Which harpreet ford gurgaon were unable to tell me).

This incompetent servicing has damaged my car and they seem least bothered to help out. Being a ford customer i expected better.

Kindly look into the matter and guide me as to how can i get this resolved at the earliest.
