GEAR SHIFTING HARD AND NO BODY BOTHERING FOR THE SAME EVEN REPEATED COMPLAINTS AND AFTER THE SERVICE COMPLETE OIL DRAINED DUE TO LOOSE OFNUT WHEN WE CALLED UP THEY ARE MISSBEHAVING. SONU KUMAR 4799 -INDRA GARHI GHAZIABAD UP CONTACT No-[protected]

Sir / Madam
I am an owner of Honda Unicorn Bike in India with Reg. No. KL 40 E 4438, I purchased my bike from your dealer - Muthoot Honda in India ( Kerala, Ernakulam ) . My concerns are following.

1) After one or two days ,I purchased my Bike, the bike was not getting started with the electronic starter .I contacted the dealer and was asked me to bring the bike to their service center for rectification.I submitted my bike for the first free service when it reached 500Kms of running. At that time I found more complaints that the chain was loose and I asked to fasten the chain also.
I recieved my bike after service and was said by the service personal that the listed complaints were corrected.
But from the next day on wards the electronic starter failed to work with.
The chain was still loose and on my checking I found that they even didn't attended the chain tighting .
I informed the same to the service center and the reply was to bring again my bike back to service center

2) I am facing a problem with slipping of gear while riding. When I informed the same in the first service itself - the comment of the service personnal was it is happening for all unicorn bikes up to 6000 kms.I cannot even just imagine such a fault from Honda and if that happened so I believe Honda had already found a solution for that. After that I submitted my bike three times for service still noe the complaint persists
Will there be any solution for this ?????????
Whom shall I contact with to get my problems rectified ????????
I dont trust the service of Muthoot Honda any more
Please suggest somebody else who is trustworthy.
Thanking you

Hi,

Would like to bring to your notice about the 3rd rate poor service by Honda Didar Motors in Anna Salai (Thousand lights) Chennai.

I had a very bad experience. Didar had my vehicle for 2 days without attending the complaints I had notified during booking the service.
The service advisers are totally unprofessional. Do not know how to behave towards the customers. They try to escape from the fault. However had to finally admit, which was the most ugly part.The excuse taken was - "Spares not available" and this was informed, after me suffering lot of pains.

Didnt expect such a bad service from Honda.

Already being dissatisfied several times, since the time of purchase (purchased from KUN Honda Adyar) starting from the wait time for delivery, Honda has always been proving inefficient, except for the Engine quality.
If not the quality of the engine, Honda wouldn't exist only. Honda having its own peculiar rules puts more pain on the customers. Above this the dealers take more advantage of it, pulling the customers as and where they wish. The customers are forced to bear all these pain just because that we have bought Honda vehicle.

Respected Sir,

We had sent the following mail to [protected]@honda.co.in whose id was available on the web site but no reply received also we are not satisfied with the response from the showroom from where we had purchased the bike requesting you to intervene. n

This is to inform you that we had purchased one of your product which is honda shine (modle cbf125mca, frame no. me4jc36dgb8140745, engine no. jc36e2408547, invoice no. 11In02302). But we are not happy with the product as we had faced the following problems,

1. The front wheel is defective and due to which it shakes while driving at even a speed of 30-40 due to which there arises a possibility of mis-balance and may lead to accident. When contacted to your showroom from where the bike has been purchased they say that the wheel is not proper and it needed to be changed, the scan copy is attached herewith for your reference of the receipt to replace the wheel completly of the NEW BIKE.


2. The showroom people are sending to distant places which is 15-20 km apart (total 35-40 km when we return). For each trip we are not even treated properly and sent to local mechanic to change the tyre. we don't know why we HARASSED for the fault of the company. Do you have any kind of agreement with the local mechanic to transfer the fund for the new wheel, or do we have to pay initially and then we will be compensated.

3. At the initial level it is your responsibility to sale non defective products but you have sold an defective product. We want to know why this has happened as we had paid you for a non defective piece and received a defective piece. And the people here are also not responding properly.


4. Also the fuel indicator is not working properly which is also an error in the product. Also there is a starting problem in the bike which they say it is due to new bike it it but we dont think so still after 310 km it is the same even after one service still the problem remains.

please let us know what should we or if this mail needs to be forwarded to some specific id then also let us know

Hi,
This is to bring to your notice the huge black market of honda activa in Pune, due to which, customers like me are suffering a lot. I've booked an activa from one of your showrooms in hadapsar "Yash honda". The dealer is telling me a waiting time of 3 months even when I've no specific color preference, however if I pay the entire amount in advance ( which is 55k in total, again increased price, due to high demand), he promises me to deliver it in one and a half months. I'm utterly disappointed that no action has been taken against this huge black market due to which people are suffering a lot and also this is adversely affecting the honda image and surely activa sale as well, as many of my friends have already suggested me to go for some other option, which obviously i dont want to. Sincerely hoping some immediate action from you in this regard.

Sub: Honda ACTIVA- several complaints.

Dear Sir / Madam,

I am regret to inform and lodged my complain regarding my accidental repair to my recently purchased HONDA ACTIVA due to non availability of spare parts with the service dealer M/s. Shivam Honda, Bhubaneswar.

I have purchased HONDA ACTIVA from M/s.Shivam Honda on 7th May'2011 but due to my bad luck I met with an acccident after one month of purchase and took the scooter to the above service dealer for repairing work on 11th July'2011. All the insurance formalities had been completed within two days. I have been regularly following up with the service dealer for completition of repair and early delivery. But to my surprise last week I came to know from the dealer that the parts are not in stock and will be available next month i.e. in September'2011. I had also discussed with your Regional Service/Spares Manager last week in Bhubaneswar while he was on his tour to M/s.Shivam Honda, Bhubaneswar and got assurance that the parts will be available next month.

Now tell what shall I do except or waiting for indefinite period.

Kindly, give me immediate feedback for early repair and delivery of my scooter.

Thanking you.

Yours faithfully,

Prakash Kumar Behera.

My bro has purchased a honda stinner 8 months back. in the beginning we used to get 60-65km/ltrs but after the first servie the milage dropped drastically to 35-40kms and the same time the speedo meter cable broken from inside. So went to the service center where they said there is no guarantee for such parts even if its broke from inside. it was only a month old and a part gone, when i said i will pay for the replacement they did not have a cable with them. I went to all 3 service centre in our district no were it was available. Some how i got it from my local service center aftr waiting for 3 months. I have shown my vehicle in all 3 service centre, they tried to increase the milage by doing something but didnt help. the other big problem is the chain keeps getting loose every week. U can not fix it urslf, every week taking the bike to service center n waiting 4 them to tight it is a big headache n u have 2 pay 20bugs to that also. and the battery of the bike is not at all good.. After 15days of purchase the battery died completely without doing anything. called the service center, they came to take the battery n said we will get a free replacement. when asked how it went dead they said the battery is not manufactured by honda and we can not tell how long it comes. the guy came teached us how to put jerk to start the bike without battery n said we will get the replacement battery in 15days.. So we used to put jerk n start the bike wherever we stop n all the people around looking n laughuing at us as new bike not getting start.. n the bike tyres not good, doesnt have any grip.. wasted money 2 change the tyres also..

the guys in honda couldnt fix d milage prob but a local garrage guy neear my home did something n now atleast 45-50km i get.. thanks 2 him..

I checked the same with around 10-15 guys in my area who own a honda bike like stunner shine n unicor there is no positive reply all r fed up with HONDA

so NEW BUYERS please DO NOT BUY A HONDA TWO WHEELER except activa

On 6th of August, 2011 I left my vehicle Honda Shine TN 10 T 8847 in KUN Honda Service Centre, Ashok Nagar, Chennai for servicing. The complaint was some hard noise was coming from the chain while riding the vehicle. One of their service persons (Aravind) who was instructed to attend the vehicle neither started the vehicle nor opened the chain guard to check the problem informed the supervisor Shri Janakiraman that the chain sprocket was worn out and the same had to be replaced by a new one which cost around 850/-. When I questioned how can he tell without attending the complaint in a proper way Shri Janakiraman assigned the work to another person called Basker. He checked thoroughly and told that there is no problem with the Sprocket but with one of the chain links. Another complaint lodged by me was clattering sound is coming from the place of tail light while riding.
I took the vehicle only on 9th August as they bargained time to get the chain link. They had rectified the problem of chain by changing the link which was earlier reported as sprocket problem. Otherwise, I would have been unnecessarily forced to spend around Rs.1,000 towards the cost of sprocket and labour due to the irresponsible attitude of the Service person.
As the vehicle was delivered only at 11 'O' clock and I was in a hurry to go to my office I took the vehicle immediately and left. While riding the vehicle to my office I found that the horn was not working properly, self starter was not working, clattering sound from brake light had not been corrected. I informed the Supervisor about these problems. He asked me to bring on another day. Today when I took the vehicle Shri Janakiraman, Supervisor was not available. Instead someone named Deon who was acting on his behalf asked Mr.Don to attend. He opened the battery unit and told the battery to be replaced. When I told him to rectify the tail light problem he behaved in a rude way and ordered me to go and wait in the waiting room. The person who initially reported that my vehicle had the sprocket problem joined with him and intimidated me. I questioned him how he made wrong diagnosis to change the sprocket he became furious and the acting supervisor also joined with him shouting that I should leave the place immediately. So I asked them to close the battery unit and hand over the vehicle to me.
If the persons working in a reputed concern are behaving like rogues to customers and misguiding them just think of innocent customers. If action is not taken on these persons your company will lose lot of customers in the near future.
