Subject: - Not getting of HONDA ACTIVA DELUXE MODEL (white) after 5 months of
booking.
Dear Sir,
I have booked Honda activa on 2nd September 2009 at your dealer TAJSHREE AUTOWHEELS PVT. LTD. , Deonagar, Nagpur .I am a state government employee and I have taken a loan of Rs.45,000/- from my department & hence now, I have to submit the papers of purchase of vehicle to my department.
In these 150 days of period, I have asked the said dealer many times about the delivery of Activa but he said that there was 3 month’s strike in the company. Some time he told that company is not sending the deluxe model in white colour. But at the time of booking he told that we will get the WHITE DELUXE MODEL OF ACTIVA within 90 days, and then also I did not get the delivery of activa till date (i.e. after 150 days). Hence I want to know the delivery status of Activa Deluxe White model. Expecting a satisfactory response from your world class company “HONDA”.
It is requested to kindly send a WHITE DELUXE MODEL OF ACTIVA to your dealer TAJSHREE AUTOWHEELS PVT.LTD. , DEONAGAR, NAGPUR or give delivery of the same model to me from your another dealer (i.e. SUDARSHAN) of NAGPUR.

I have send the following complaint to www.consumercomplaints.in and the
following is the complete matter of my complaint for your reference and
suitable action :-

About a week ago, I had given my Honda Activa scooter MH 12 EV 5915 for a
paid service to B U Bhandari Auto Ltd. at their Viman Nagar Signal Junction
branch at Pune. I had listed about 6 to 7 complaints and was assured by
their authorized person who booked my scooter that it will be taken care of.
I even asked him if they would open the drum of the hind wheel and check if
the liners had become hard since the vehicle was not stopping as it should
when braked. He said "Of course, it is included in the paid service and we
shall pour some petrol on the liners to make them soft." I even told him
about the misfiring and excess petrol consumption and the lock of the dickey
seat not opening among other complaints. I asked him to lubricate the
handle lock and the side stand and the kick start, as they were running a
bit rough. He spoke very diligently and assured me of good service. I
signed that the service was done satisfactorily and I was happy - NOW THIS
WAS DONE EVEN BEFORE ANY WORK HAD BEEN PERFORMED ON THE SCOOTER. I WAS MADE
TO SIGN ON GIVING THE VEHICLE FOR SERVICING - ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. When I
contested that how can I be satisfied when the vehilce has not even been
touched by him or his mechanics for any repairs, he answered that this was
the mode of functioning of all their service outlets in Pune and if I had
any objection to it, I may take the vehicle elsewhere for getting it
serviced. NOW IS THIS CUSTOMER SERVICE AND SATISFACTION - IF IT IS - INDIA
HAS REALLY PROGRESSED BY LEAPS AND BOUNDS. I was getting late for my office
and kept quiet and just gave in and signed on the service job card as he
wanted me to do. I asked him for the charges and he informed me that for
servicing their establishment charges Rs. 200/= and for spares extra as per
costs. I asked him that if any spares need to be replaced, will

sir,
I brought my honda shine bike one year back. My fuel tank cap was rusted inside. I gave the bike for service on 30/1/2010. Age of my bike at that time was 1 year 2 days. The deler says the warandy is for one year. My argument is it is not rustedin 2 days. I feel that the manufatures gave some defective part to me. I requested to change the cap in warandy

recently I have purchased a Honda Shine 125 bike from dealer named "SHyam Honda" Indore. Headlight fering made of fiber which is screwed, is broken out because of mere speed breaker's up-down impact. service manager did not take responsibility of damage. my bike is only 2 month older.
please do the needful and replace my parts because it was due to weak material.

i purcahsed a unicorn on oct.2009. within 500 km riding i got severe backpain and informed the dealer about this problm. they adjusted the shock up & the prblm still continue. after that i reduced the air pressure in the rear wheel to 20 psi. & the pain is reduced. now my doubt is, is it advicible to ride the vehicle in the 20 psi.
or the company may take the responsibility to rectify the prblm.

Dear Sir,

I bought a Unicorn (Black) in the month of Aug 2009 from JSP Honda showroom, which is in AnnaNagar Chennai. After First service dated 22/08/2009 (Job Card No: 112384) the total electrical system was not working. I approached the service dealer (JSP – Annanagar, Chennai), he told that the electrical fuse malfunction and replaced with new one.

Within next 300 Kms of riding I faced the problem of malfunction in the rpm meter & speedometer (Odometer reading: 1450 Km). They replaced with newest under warranty.

Again after one month I encountered a problem of total electrical system failure just before my second service. I filed a complaint during the second service dated 2/11/2009 (Job Card No: 117800).

After the second service also I faced the similar problem. I filed a complaint during my third service dated 30/12/2009 (Job Card No: 122043). They told that they have checked the total electrical wirings and suspect in the brake switch. They disconnect the electrical connection for both the brake switch connection (Connection to Brake Tail lamb) and asked to drive the vehicle for three days. After three days they had connected the rear brake light switch and asked to drive for 2 days. No problems were faced during that time. After that they connected both brake switch connection and asked to drive. Within two days the same problem occurred (Total electrical System failure). I filed a complaint regarding this dated 03/02/2010 (Work Order No: 124975). Then they told that this is because of problem in the front brake switch and replaced with newer one. The same day I encountered the same problem. Now I filed a complaint dated 04/02/2010 (Job Card No: 125073).

The same story keeps on going. I don’t know what service they are doing. I really disappointed over this. Please advice on this and resolve the problem.

I have purchased a Honda Stunner on 24th Aug 2009 from Bangalore(Dhruvdesh Honda).
On 20th Jan 2010 I had done my 3rd servicing at Dhruvdesh Honda.
I had complained about the abnormal engine sound above 50 Km/Hr. Which is not been rectified during the servicing.

The services provided by the service staff are unsatisfactory.
following problems have been faced by me:-
1. observed abnormal engine sound at a particular speed ranges, above 50 Km/Hr.
2. this abnormal sound does not appers in other speed ranges
3. fuel economy is very low than prescribed by the dealer, it is just 48-50 Km/Ltr
4. heavy vibration on higher speeds above 50 Km/Hr.


Thanks

Dear Sir,
I purchased Hero Honda Glamour FI from Varenyam Motors, Bhopal on 07 Dec 2009. They while giving the bike took the money for Insurance of the Vehicle & gave me a Cover Note of The Oriental Insurance Co. Ltd Insurance assusring me that I'l be receinving the Policy Papers within a month. The Cover Note has an expiry period of 15 days. The police has once caught me on the lines of not possessing the Insurance policy even after a month of vehicle purchase.
The officials out there at Varenyam Motors, Bhopal arent responding positively at my request and even after repeated cals, they havent followed up my case of non delivery of the Insurance Policy.

i will be highly obliged if you can please help me out in this respect.

NOW IS THIS CUSTOMER SERVICE AND SATISFACTION - IF IT IS - INDIA HAS REALLY PROGRESSED BY LEAPS AND BOUNDS. I was getting late for my office and kept quiet and just gave in and signed on the service job card as he wanted me to do. I asked him for the charges and he informed me that for servicing their establishment charges Rs. 200/= and for spares extra as per costs. I asked him that if any spares need to be replaced, will he inform me. He took my mobile no. on the job card and told me that it would be done.

I have now driven the vehicle for about 4 to 5 days and found that the misfiring is still continuing, the rear brake is still not working to satisfaction, the dickey seat and handle locks still do not function smoothly, the kick start lever is still very very hard to turn on its side before kicking for starting, and the fuel average has gone further down than what it was when I had given the vehicle for servicing. I approached him on Thursday to report about these points and told him to reduce the idling too as the vehicle when stopped near a signal, raced a bit too much. He reluctantly told me to meet one Mr. Mirajkar, whom I presumed to be the head of the service department there. Mr. Mirajkar gave me about a minute to tell him all of the above and he indirectly softly shouted at his mechanic to attend to the idling. The mechanic made a face and got some meter and non-interestingly banging around, opened the bonet of the scooter and showed me the idling meter reading saying it was normal. I told him to reduce it. He reported this to Mr. Mirajkar, who was sitting close by - who sarcastically told him to reduce it till I was satisfied. He did it while murmuring to himself - to which I felt very insulted. He told me that the fuel consumption had gone up and the average come down as the fuel tap had become direct - now what he meant by it, I could not understand. I asked Mr. Mirajkar that since my vehicle was still in warranty, should it not be replaced free of charge. He told me no and that I would have to pay for it. I then asked him if they had opened the brake drum since it was not functioning properly for braking. He said that we do not include it in the servicing and that I would have to pay Rs. 60/- extra for it if I wanted to get it done. I told him what the person who had booked my scooter for servicing had told me - that it was included in the service. He disagred. I asked him then what did they charge Rs. 200/= for - was it only for washing the vehicle. He said they did many a task on it. I told him I found none of my complaints had been attended to. He plainly told me to complaint to the company HQ at Gurgaon. I told him that I was not a person who feels afraid to complaint and if he thought that his rough talk and high handed attitude would frighten me from exercising my right, he was wrong. I would surely do it since I am an educated man and know how to deal in such situations. I even told him that I would knock the doors of the consumer court and write letters to Times of India for all that had transpired between us. He retorted "GO AHEAD, NO ONE IS STOPPING YOU".

It is for t his reason that I am now sending this complaint to you and would request that I see the light of justice. Please advise me what should be the first step that I should do - should I go to the Police and complaint or is there something else that would get results faster? PLEASE DO ADVISE ON TOP PRIORITY.

Eagerly awaiting you cooperation.

Sir,

I have purchased the Hero Honda Passion Pro on 11.11.09 at Nagappa Motors, Chennai from the day of purchase i reported that wheel vobling, they said it will get adjusted in the 1st service. After 1st service ie., 12.12.2009 still it is vobling inspite of four times replacing the tyre by the service center. Once against I complaint of Vobling. Now I have given my vehicle to the service center on 21.1.09 for the same complaint but till now they have not rectified and return my vehicle. What I come to know is of technical default by the Manufacturer itself. So I request that New Vehicle may be replaced.
