Dear Sir/ Madam,
Greetings from Rajmohan Dhandapani to all of you at Maruthi NEXA!!!
At the outset, I wish to congratulate the articulated efforts taken by Maruthi Suzuki in manufacturing people-friendly and pocket-friendly cars for INDIA and the world. Around six months ago had bought my first car " MARUTHI XL6" much to the liking of my son and family and the car has clocked around 4k odd kilometers.
We had planned to visit our home town and prior to our travel had given the vehicle for thorough inspection and service to your Nexa dealer (Udupi-Service Centre).
On 3rd October 2021, my family and I were returning back to Manipal from my hometown Trichy, Tamil Nadu and as we had approached near Agumbe at around 10 PM, we heard a loud burst from the left front of our car, and luckily I was driving at a 40-kilometer speed so I managed to stop the car safely and my family was saved from a major accident/catastrophe. When I got the tire replaced by the spare wheel, was able to notice that the tyre sidewall had burst. We have spent so much money on a car of good repute, why is the quality of tyres at stake?
Also when we try to change the Stepney tyre, the Jack was also broken. It was really tough to handle those situations, especially on the dark night @ 10 pm.
Kindly look into this very seriously, and take care of the safety of your customers’ life and of course Our big trust in your brand.
Thank you for the Bridgestone report., as I anticipated, They washed their hands off the issue by citing numerous reasons. However, you must understand that we purchased the car on the trust of the Maruti Nexa brand, not on the strength of Bridgestone tyres. In fact, when I purchased the car, I specifically requested Apollo or MRF tyres from your salesperson. However, because it is a company fixture, they denied it. Then there was no choice but to buy the XL6 but since I liked that so much.
Now since my car tyre had blown up just after 4100 kilometres, will you, as a customer, accept Bridgestone's negligent reply? But it's immoral to me. Brand-Maruti Nexa's customer support should not be like this.
I request that Maruti Nexa investigate this thoroughly and respond positively to this matter. I've attached a few screenshots from the XL 6 owners forum on Facebook, which highlight many of the owners' complaints about the terrible tyres. I'd appreciate MARUTI NEXA to replace all of my car tyres at no cost with MRF or APOLLO. Because the safety of my family's ride is in jeopardy due to these low-quality tyres. Due to the busted tyre, we already had experienced a dangerous night in the jungle.
I would appreciate it if you could organize to get the tyre changed from your side and also inspect the car for any other damages due to this incident.
As a possible consequence, I politely request that you perform the needed as soon as possible. Look forward to hearing from you at the immediate earliest to resolve this issue amicably.
