Dear Team,
This is in respect to the list of issues (which I shall address) during my purchase of Sting Ray from one of your authorised dealer.
For a simple background info, I bought the vehicle from Kannur, Kerala where I believe there are 4 authorized dealers for Maruti. I did my research and decided to buy the vehicle from Popular Automobiles in Mele Chowa, Kannur due to the fact that they provided me the best deal than the other dealers.
Popluar promised me a 25k discount, all standard accessories like mat and mud flaps etc, along with a gold coin, which they told me will be given only if I book my car before July 31st. I did the booking before the day, but as I had applied for a staff loan from my bank, it took a little time, so the dealer advises me that to hold the gold coin scheme I pay him Rs.50, 000 in advance. (photo of receipt attached).
I believed his lies and paid him the same on July 26, by the time my loan got sanctioned and when the vehicle got delivered to me, I did not receive any of the items as promised by the dealer. He simply replied that they do not give them as freebies and I have to pay, when asked about the gold coin, he simply said that the scheme is closed.
The vehicle which got delivered brand new, also had a faulty horn which never worked.
1) My question to you is if as the dealer says every accessory is a paid item, why promise them in the first place?
2) If the gold coin could not be delivered why promise it ? I could have gone to the other dealers whom atleast would have given me the accesories .
3) Now doesn't the dealer owe me interest for the 50, 000 he held with him from July 26 to September 9 till my vehicle got delivered to me?
I have already made a complaint about the faulty horn to your mail id [protected]@maruti.co.in for which initially I got a reply asking the chasis no, but no contact after that. (Refer: CRM:[protected]
I am expecting a quick reply addressing my queries this time, if not I will have to move to stern actions as I am fed up already with the kind of faulty products and fraudulent marketing tactics adopted by Maruti.
Kindly do the needful, please feel free to call me directly on my mobile if required.
Regards,
Akhilesh Pai
