i have gone to the hero honda showroom from where i bought the bike...
but they are not replacing it ..

Sir,
I booked Honda unicorn at AM Honda Tirur on 30th January 2010. The vehicle deliver at 6months in booking time.Even after 12 months (29.01.2011) the vehicle is not delivered. I kindly requested the Honda manager the vehicle arranged immediately. Am Honda is very bad performance and attitude in customer expecsialy Tirur .sir please taken the action over the am honda

Well being exicited to join Hero Honda family I bought CBZ –Extreme in November 2009,As the name indicates first month my bike gave me extreme biking experience which I never seen again.

I gave my bike for 1st servicing at 688Kms in Shiri Automobiles, Vasanth Nagar colony Hyderabad on 14th October -2009 .After that I faced new problems with my bike like vibration slow pick up and many more.
Being disappointed with all these issues I contacted Hero Honda office where they provided me a solution with Mr.Manikanta of Bhanu Automobiles ,Mossapet, Hyderabad. Mr.Manikanta concluded that there is a problem in fixing up the chain and some part has got replaced under warranty due to damage in chain system.

My problem was fixed successfully but my question is why Hero Honda allows such in qualified technicians (shiri Auto Mobiles) to repair bike?
(or)
Hero Honda is only to sell bikes and spares without bothering about the service standards and customer?

Now is the main, after realizing that Shiri Automobiles has got no proper technicians I stopped giving serving at that point and opted for Bhanu Automobiles Instead. Since I reside near erragadda I opted for Bhanu Automobiles Erragadda Branch as a service point to my bike. My Experience with this branch was absolutely miserable, below are the few major points that I can make out.



1.Every time there is a service delay and a lot of mess in providing information-when ever I give my bike for servicing they will commit for one schedule and even when I call they will simply say “your bike is ready please come and collect” but after reaching there many times I found the job is half done /not started yet there are very few cases where I received my bike as per schedule /commitment over the phone.

2.Typically there was no guy sitting at the reception to answer any one’s questions even if one is available he might be quite irresponsible as I have experienced no response /delayed response from that person.

3. Right from the 5th Servicing onwards I was complaining about some line sound from my bike like ---”Tik, Tik, Tik…….” But not even single time it was resolved and a simple answer from the Technician saying that “that’s the common engine sound every CBZ customer will get”.

4. At the time of 8th servicing I complained about the sound when even I use front Disk brake and the technician said that there was no problem but when I went after 3 days I got a reply saying that I need to change the disc pads even for that I need to wait for a week or I need to come at morning in a fine working day leaving all of my work aside. At last I went to ACE motors, Krishna Nagar to get that done immediately.

5.Last time i.e. on 8th Jan 2011 I gave my bike for servicing at Bhanu Automobiles Erragadda by that time I was experiencing some Excessive acceleration problem with my bike and one more problem is that ignition fail whenever I make low acceleration ,As usual my complaints are very much ignored and they made it on their own way which caused to face so many problems after that.

I made a full tank from shell on 10th Jan 2010 which gave me millage about 280 Km which is less than 25 Km per liter and I was experiencing the same from last one week .

Finally today 29th Jan 2011 I went to meet Mr.Mouli who was about to address these issues from Bhanu Automobiles,Erragadda.He had a test ride and observed that there is a problem in petrol which is releasing black smoke when even it accelerates and Mr.Mouli concluded that there is a part which needs to be changed in the engine will cost about Rs.300/- and including other services he gave a an approximate value about Rs.1000/-

Mr.Mouli invented a new problem in my bike which I was complaining about from last 3 servicing that is which I explained in point no 3(some line sound from my bike like ---”Tik, Tik, Tik…….”)He addressing this issue with a replacement of part which will cost Rs.300/-.Mr.Mouli also suggesting to me that petrol from SHELL has many issues and not to use that and when I requested for a written confirmation he refused to do so.
I have all shell bills ready with from past 2 months if that was true that shell petrol has problem then I would appreciate if you could give me a written confirmation on that.

I don’t understand if there is any pressure from Hero Honda to these Dealers just to up sell spares rather concentrating on customer issues.
(Or)
Hero Honda only recruits such dealers who make big figures from innocent customers’ pockets?

6.After receiving foolish solution suggestions from Mr.Mouli ,I went to ACE Motors ,Krishna Nagar Technician verified the bike and concluded that there is a problem with petrol and suggesting me to use only Shell petrol.

If someone representing Hero Honda creates this kind of mess in customer mind what should we think?


Simply I was a big fan of CBZ and even for Hero Honda and after 1 year being with Hero Honda Im in a feeling that I was been duped by Hero Honda.


Many of my friends bought other bikes having no issues with the service and actually getting more qualitative service.

I would appreciate if anyone from Hero Honda let me know whether you can help me out at this situation or not?

DEAR SIR,

I am suresh from tirupur. Now i had a 2wheeler Hero Honda Passion. I wish to purchase a new bike and my friends suggest me to purchase Honda Shine. For that i approch your dealer "PRASANNA HONDA" located at Palladam road, Tirupur on 12.11.2010. During my visit at your dealer point MR.RANJIT KUMAR who is worked in showroom welcome me and gave the details about the Honda Shine bike and i satisfied with his approch and paid RS.1000/- as advance on the 15.11.2010 bearing bill no 9707. He gave me the invoice bearing no 1815 on my fist visit. in that invoice price mentioned for the bike including insurance, road tax, registration, engine warranty and extra fittings for RS.62629, and he also assure me the delivery with in 45 days from the date of advance.But after completion of that period i contact the dealer for so many times. but there is no proper response for me by phone and also direct visit. Finally they make a call on 19.01.2011 and inform me to paid the balance dues to get delivery. As per their words i paid the balance dues on 20.01.2011 bearing bill no 12659. During my second payment they FORCED me to get bike with AMC (Rs 975 ). Amount paying for AMC is compulsory in Honda terms or customer decision? Can i get my bike without AMC? But while contact the branch manager, he is also FORCE my to get AMC. He Refuse me to get the payment without AMC. Finally i paid the amount as per his words without satisfaction. But still i am not get my bike. IS THIS THE WAY HONDA WISH TO APPROCH THEIR NEW CUSTOMERS? I FEEL VERY GLAD TO DECIDE TO PURCHASE HONDA BIKE DUE TO YOUR DEALER APPROCH. As per your customer words, those who are paid EXTRA RS 2000/- Along with bike cost without billing to that dealer / Manager will get bike immediately. I MET 2 PERSONS GET BIKE LIKE THIS. Still i am not receive my bike. I am expecting Your Immediate Action to get back my AMC amount along with my bike.

Respected sir,

Respected Sir,

I, Mr. Shadab Khan, have bought a CB Unicorn on 10-10-10 from Jhaveri Honda in Kurla(w). I gave my Bike for periodic free
services, the work done was better at the first and second services, but later i noted that there was an enormous noise made
when the disk brake was applied, i had heard that Chembur service center(tel:[protected] works better, soon i went to the same,
i had discussed about the problem, i was told that my complaint has been worked upon and solved, but it had not been solved,
i went to a bike garage and there the problem was solved immediately, actually the noise created when disk brake was applied
was due to the leakage of front fork oil and the damage of fork seal, also after the second service there was leakage at the
so called Head-of-engine due to the damage of packing, my rear linear is also damaged now.

Vehicle number : MH-03-AV-9513
First service Invoice number:10IV04447 Date : 20-Nov-10
Third service Invoice cum Job no : 38876 Date : 28-Dec-10

My worry is so concerned because not even four months have completed and my bike is facing such problems, i imagine what
will happen to my bike after four years. I feel sorry for Honda for their ill work done at services, I also hope that you will
help make things much more better.


Regards.

sir
it was an accident case mostly half of my vehicle was damaged in it i left my aviator to ajmer branch of Honda that is RAJ HONDA SERVICE CENTER they just repaired my vehicle half and returned it back to me saying that parts are not available and the whole amount of bill was paid by me including the amount of parts which was not avalible and from last 2 months they r saying the same thing parts are not avalible kindly please check ..

Dear sir
This is regarding unsatisfactory maintenance service being provided by Fortune Honda Service center at Lucknow.
I had sent my vehicle Reg No. UP32 BV 0171 on 21 Jan 2011 for 20000Km servicing opting for Pick and Drop facility. The vehicle was delivered back to me at around 1900 Hrs on the same day. On 22 Jan 2011 when I drove the vehicle I found that there was unusual noise in the steering wheel which was not there earlier. I immediately complained to Mr Pandey who attended the vehicle who was demanding the vehicle to be brought to the workshop. When I insisted that Pick and Drop facility was availed due the very reasons that it was not possible for me to bring the vehicle myself, then he promised to get the vehicle attended. On 24 Jan a mechanic came to my place to rectify the defect and it was done. (Thanks). I also showed the mechanic that my vehicle was not cleaned from inside during the servicing and asked him to opened the bonnet, to my horror it was noticed that the vehicle was not even washed during the servicing, this is not the first time that my vehicle was not serviced properly. I rang up Mr Pal the service incharge and demanded action against such careless service expressing my suspicion that when the vehicle has not even been washed what other servicing activities would have been done on my vehicle. Mr pal was responsive enough to get my vehicle collected on 25 Jan 2011 and got it properly washed. However in the bargain i remained without vehicle on 25 Jan 2011 apart from avoidable Petrol expense for Pick & Drop. The point at issue is why the service center after charging Rs 5000.00 can not provide the satisfactory service at the first place and why the vehicle is not being checked by responsible person before it leaves service center after maintenance. How will the cutomer be compensated for the inconvenience and extra expenditure? May suitable action be taken by the competent authority against the defaulters.

sir,
i am using Honda unicorn bike since 2005. from last 1 month i am dealing with a oil leak complaint of my bike. i went to an authorized honda service center at irinjalakuda and gave my bike for service. the next day i got a call from the showroom saying that i can take the bike, since the clutch cover packing of the engine is worn out, and they are out of stock. i waited for a week, and then i called upon every service center in thrissur district and every where i got the same result. now i dont know what to do, i cant use the bike and its very much difficult for me to get the day to day work done. if the authorized honda service centers are behaving like this, then how could a ordinary person like me handle such situations. i would be very thankful if you consider my complaint..

thank you,

I ordered for a Honda Aviator during the 15th of Nov'10. I was told that it will be available by 1st week of Jan'11. I rang up Honda Show Room "HORIZON" on the first week of Jan if my aviator had arrived. They replied that they would call up within a few days as soon as it arrives. Then come Jan 22nd when they rang me and told that it has arrived. Well I thought it might be better if i take it on Monday. Finally its 24th Jan'11 today as I write this after this event took place: I went there with ready cash around 6:30 pm as I leave my organization by 6 o clock. So, the guy sitting there in the front desk told me that it was available but i won't be able to take it then as the time was over. I asked why? Aren't they interested to sale the product. He replied it is govt. timing. WTF i thought. Are you a govt. employee? The person sitting next to him was Mr. Sharma, who regarded himself as the manager. He also responded negatively and asked me to only deposit the cash and take the bike tomorrow. My excitement went down! Ok i thought lets go with it! What was more frustrating was when i went to deposit cash in the counter, they asked me to sit for 5 mins until they finish their work when there was no customer sitting infront of them. I sat for sometime idle and without saying a word went away!! Hell !!

I purchased a HERO HONDA Pleasure scooter on 23 feb. 2010.
Since then it has gone under repair for 6 times which comprised of defective carburetter,oil pump,etc. but yet my vehicle is not functioning well yet.

The dealer RATTANLALL AUTO Pvt. ltd.,Daltonganj did not pay heed to my request of replacement of the vehicle.

I request you to take concrete steps before my warranty is lapsed.

Thanks.

HONDA CITY CAR ENGINE NUMBER L15A30141111 AND CHASSIS No MAKGD852A8N411282 HAS DEVELOPED FAILURE OF THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING AFER THE CAR HAS BEEN RUN FOR ONLY 26901 KM. THIS COMPONENT HAS A COST OF APPROX Rs 45000/-. HONDA SERVICES ( HONDA ONE-TO-ONE) HAVE SO FAR REFUSED TO REPAIR/REPLACE THE COMPONENT FREE OF COST UNDER THE PLEA THAT THE WARRANTY PERIOD HAS EXPIRED. THEY WERE TOLD BY ME THAT IT IS NOT A RUBBER PART THAT CAN PERISH WITH TIME. THE EPS SHOULD LOGICALLY LAST FOR THE LIFE TIME OF THE CAR. THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE NOW.

HONDA MUST PROVIDE A FREE REPLACEMENT OF THE EPS

I had purchased it just before 10 months, its done only 8000 km. But now its very risk to drive the vehicle, cant drive more than 10 km in a single trip. Smoke will arise from silencer, I feel shy to carry this vehicle..

I have purchased a Aviator scooter dated on 31/10/2010.After around 25 days I listened a sound from the lower side of my vehicle so at the time of first servicing I complained about it but after the service on same day the concerning service centre staff told me that dosn`t matter , there is no sign for such type of complaint , let us see next time. Unfortunately after one and half month(dated on 20/12/2010) I was passing from Deen dayal nagar location at gwalior (M.P.) occurred an accident with a road breaker and I listened such type of sound so according the advise of service centre staff I did not take that in notice.The vehicle was running in same mode as before but after covering about 2 or 3 KM , the vehicle was stopped ,and after the effort make to start again and again but i failed to do so. So I carried the vehicle Next day morning to the agency A.S.Motors, Padav Gwalior (M.P.) by foot and complaind there. There were a employee Mr.sinha who attended me told after examining the vehicle that lower part of the chamber has been damaged and right now we dn't have such part in our stock after 15 days it will be available.
After 15 days they told me that engine of your vehicle is also damaged
and it will be charged from you. The new India assurance co. is also denying to
reimburse engine repairing expenses. Regarding this matter I want Full reimburse
-ment either from the Honda company or from The new India Assurance co.
