Maruti Suzuki India Complaints & Reviews

I may not be one of the proud owners of Maruti Swift. My vehicle no is PY 01 AE 2054. I had an accident May 2008. After that I gave it for repairing it in Vasanthi Automobiles in Pondicherry. As I am not tied up with Maruti Insurance Vasanthi asked for some payment. Initially I paid Rs. 30, 000/- but they did not even touched the vehicle. They were convincing me stating that parts have not come from maruti. Every time it was next week. Again they asked for payment and I paid Rs. 100000/- on 11/12/2008 and I also told them that I will pay again once they start the work. But still the same promises are made to me that still parts not received from maruti. For some parts if it takes 9 months. I have wasted my 9 months behind following this

I have recently purchased a Maruthi car taking loan from SBI after doing extensive research and analysis based on the information provided by Maruthi Udyog Ltd. In the website, www.maruti.co.in its declared that there will not be any processing fee from SBI for taking vehicle loan for buying Maruthi car from any authorised dealer.

I have purchased car from the approved agency ‘My Car’ Bhopal. But when I approached with the printed copy of the finance obtained from the website, SBI declined to waive off the processing fee. A copy of the information is attached herewith for your kind information. To get the loan sanctioned at earliest, I gave a cheque(No. 352404, SBI, Bhopal) towards the processing fee(0.5 percent of loan amount). The exact processing amount is Rs.1130 of Rs.2, 26, 000(loan amount).

In this regards, I have sent emails many time at [protected]@maruti.co.in. Mr. Dilip Patnaik informed me during telephonic discussion on 4th Jan’09 that the processing fee can be refunded from our side in reference to the email. The last email communication of reference no HT20081230_[protected] received from Mr. Dilip Patnaik on 10th Jan 2009.

I am seeking your kind attention to the matter.

Kindly do the necessary steps to refund the processing fee collected by SBI, which is a violation o[censored]ser information provided in the website.

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,

Hai Everybody,
It is digusting to use the Maruthi suzuki auto card from citibankcredit card.mY CARD NO [protected] . It is very shameful and disgraceful for CITIBANK TO HAVE A CALL CENTRE WITH IRRESPONSIBLE CUSTOMER CARE OFFICIALS.
All this happened in 2006 when I was offered a Maruti Suzuki Auto Card at a Maruti Service centre. I was told that you would get reward points for fueling your car at Indian Oil bunks and for servicing the car, renewing insurance premium, buying Maruti genuine accessories at the authorised Maruti Dealer or exhanging your Maruti Car.
Dear friends it is very difficult to locate an Indian Oil PETROL bunk with Citibank EDC machine in a WORKING condition. Even if they have one they are not able to redeem the points for us. When contacted the Citibank customer care[WHICH OF COURSE IS NOT TOLL FREE] they said redeem at Maruti Outlet.
I have got a reward point balance as per Feb'09 Statement of 3193 auto points equal to that many Rs. Now when I have gone to service my car the dealer says as per Maruti swipe machine it is only 816 reward points. So straight away 2377 points swindled and when contacted customer care they say all those reward points which appear in the statement are not fully redeemable they are null and void if not if not redeemed in the first year of card purchase when asked about why the reward earned every month are not redeemable THEY PUT YOU ON HOLD NOT EVEN SWITCH ON THE MUSIC AFTER SOME TIME THEY WILL TERMINATE THE CALL ridiculous...So my question is why does AUTO POINTS appear in monthly statement plus current month points earned for fueling in Indian Oil which once again are not redeemabale at the bunks but to be redeemed at Maruti Dealer who says he can not redeem points earned at Indian oil bunks, This whole affair seems to be fishy and fraudulent. So my dear friends please do not GO FOR MARUTI SUZUKI AUTO CARD OF CITIBANK and lead a peaceful shopping with other cards.

Sir,
I have booked for new car maruti zen estilo sports model at BIMAL AUTO showroom located at Mahadevpura, Bangalore on 25JAN 2009.I paid 10000/- for the same.But after 5 days i.e.on 30th i came to know that the car cannot be delivered to me as the company has stopped manufacturing it.When i enquired about the booking list in the showroom, i was inforemd that it has not been booked officially!! i was shocked!
Finally after lot of discussion with the sales person -Mr Sultan Pasha and Mr Hussain Pasha we had been forced to take bck the money refunded as no similar offer is available to us.
I want to lodge complaint regarding this;
Please guide me .The details of the booking is also attached to this mail.

Dear Sir

I bought a Maruti Swift in May 2008, it is a 7 month old car and i am alrady having a terrible time using this car and the kind of services Vipul Motors Faridabad is offering me. I had an accident on the month of December and i got the repairs done form Vipul Motors Faridabad itself.
However the work done is not satisfactory and i have been facing problems in my car evr since.
I have been a loyal customer to Vipul Motors and got it serviced from Vipul itself everytime.
My car has done 22000 KMS and today my brakes were not working. I gave it for 4th Free Servicing (Earned from Loyalty) and they have given me a huge bill and also told me that I HAVE SPOILED brake shoes in 22000 kms.

This should have been checked and rectified in december itself when i gave my car from repairs as it was damaged from front.
Also If Maruti Swift has got Brake Shoe damages after 22000 KMS them how do other cars pull it for 100000 KMS.
I am regretting my decision to buy Maruti Swift and the services provided are also terrible.

Kindly advice.

I had purchased a brand new Maruti Suzuki Swift VXI from Magic Auto Karol Bagh on 30/12/2008.From the day one I am experiencing an irritating clicking sound from the rear left side of the car. For which I took my car first to the concerned dealer on 3/01/2009.I was told that hook of rear seat was broken. They replaced it but it did not help in removing that irritating clicking sound.
Some friends told me to take up the car to Maruti Service Centre(Company owned Workshop at Naraina).I visited the workshop on 16/01/2009, the engineer after taking trial found that there is some defect in the rear left side safety belt. They replaced the whole unit of the belt. For distance up to my home that problem seemed to get solved .But unfortunately in the morning on my way to office I experience the same irritating clicking sound, which not only frustrated me but shaken my belief and confidence over Maruti Suzuki customer care services. I had sent this feedback to Mr. Pankaj Narula on a business reply envelop provided to me. But so far no reply has been received from that end.
Again I visited Maruti Service Centre (Company owned Workshop at Naraina) on 22/01/2009.After spending full day at the workshop from 10 am to 7 pm the problem was not at all diagnosed by the engineers available there. After facing such a harassment and mental tortture I took my car back to my home without getting the problem solved.
I feel very disheartened that within just a span of 15 days and mileage of just 200 Km I am facing such problems that even so called expert from your owned workshop could not able to even diagnose the problem in my car. I feel deceived that may be I was sold a defective car by the dealer.
I wish & request to Mr Pankaj Narula CGM(Service) Maruti Suzuki to please look into the matter and help me out.
Thanks

Through this forum I advise the Maruti Suzuki's top officials to awake,


Mr. R.C. Bhargava
Chairman Maruti Suzuki




Dear Mr. Bhargava,

I behold a last ray of hope which is why I have finally decided to write to you after having begged before all officials of Maruti Suzuki to rectify the faults exhibited by ALTO I gifted to my wife on her birthday. Kindly ponder asymptotically the miseries I and my wife had to suffer by dint of negligence of service personnel of a multinational giant (Maruti Suzuki).

1. I purchased Alto car for my wife Deepa Chopra from Bagga Link Motors Patparganj Industrial area Delhi on 20/09/2008 (Regd. No. DL7CH 4953). Three days after taking the delivery of the car I found huge vibrations and pulling in the car towards left side. I took the car to Bagga Link Workshop. The mechanic adjusted the steering wheel and did some alignment but all in vain.

2. The mechanic (Mr. Jitendra) told me that the car was delivered to me without PDI. However, he assured me that the faults would be rectified at the time of first free service. I had no alternative except waiting till first free service. Meanwhile I reported the matter to the Maruti Suzuki regional office through e mail (also to Mr. Raghvan) but no action was taken.

3. On 12/10/2008 I drove the car to Bagga Link Workshop for first free service and had a horrible experience there. The car was delivered to me in the same condition as before. I penned down my remarks at the job card. The faults viz. pulling and the vibrations are still there which can be verified.

4. On my perpetual complaints, an engineer Mr. Tikendra inspected the car along with Mr. Vijay of Bagga Link and returned the car back to my wife after deflating and then inflating the tyres. The workshop officials were primarily interested in getting the satisfaction report signed by my wife rather than correcting the faults in the car.

5. My incessant calls to the regional office and the customer care resulted in a phone call I received from Mr. Siddharth on 08/12/2008. He assured that the car would be repaired to my satisfaction but when ‘Only God knows’.

6. On intervention of Ms. Harpreet Kaur of Regional office, the vehicle was taken to MSSD Narayana by Mr. Vijay Of Bagga Link Services, but again the same old story, the leftward pulling in the car could not be solved however, the vehicle was supposed to be attended by the so called senior engineer Mr. Lalwani.


6. Meanwhile my several telephonic complaints (phone[protected], and e-mails to the regional office were ignored as if I am an insane person. As a top official of this so called customer caring company kindly ponder asymptotically ‘why should I waste my time, energy and money if the vehicle I drive is in reasonably ok’ and if raising the voice against the wrongdoings of the officials at regional office is a crime than I shall keep on repeating it.

8. On 20/01/2009 I took the car to MSSD Narayana for second free service, and the mechanic Mr. Devendra agreed that the leftward pulling was there even after the service was done. My written complaint in this connection was thrown by the G.M. service in presence of Ms. Meena Gulati.

9..For your kind information I quote below the names of the officials I have contacted telephonically or otherwise (Bagga Link Service’s Mr.Vijay, Mr.Jitendra and Mr. Munjal; Regional Office Marti Suzuki’s Mr.Siddartha, Mr. Raghvan, Mr. Tikendra, Mr. Iqbal, and Ms. Harpreet Kaur; MSSD Narayana’s Mr.Lalwani, Mr. Sarkar, Ms. Meenu Nagpal, Mr.Devendra and G.M.Service; and innumerable complaints lodged through Maruti’s website

Kindly intervene so that I may not be put into further hardship.
Thanking You

Yours Sincerely

We experienced your 24X7 hours service when my family was droved in the Brand New Wagon R which just completed 1000 km, on the way for the Ashtavinayaka Tour. When they were on the way to Daund (it’s near from Pune) on 17th January 2009, in the afternoon suddenly the new car got overheated & started showing the high temperature. While checking with the near by local workshop, the workshop person told that there is problem in the Engine Cylinder head gasket due to which the oil got mixed with the coolant.

As there was no authorized Maruti dealer in Daund, through service book they contacted the Baramati Authorized dealer (M/S Mahalaxmi Auto). After ½ Hr. the dealer person came with the Service van & their technician, after checking told the same thing i.e. oil got mixed with the coolant due to defect in the head gasket & hence they towed the vehicle from Daund to Baramati (30 KM).

There they told that, for the correct fault finding they required the time hence they called my family in the next day morning around 10 a.m. So all my family came to Baramati by Bus & wasted there night & the tour too at Baramati in the Lodge.

As the next day was Sunday, all the maruti regional offices in Pune & Mumbai are on weekly leave (24X7 service) & hence we are not able to contact the correct person to talk or to inform. After one more failure test of Thermostat change (may be the service people don’t know that thermostat failure is not concern with the oil + coolant mixing) they told in the evening (4.30 p.m.) that the problem is in the cylinder head & for changing they don’t have spare part, hence it will take 4-5 days if they ordered it from Delhi (factory). Through my local dealer (Nashik) contact I told the Mahalaxmi dealer to collect the Cylinder head from the Nashik dealer but instead he told that he has to take permission from the maruti regional manager for changing the head (who was on leave that day). Hence my family left the vehicle to that dealership & started back to home in the evening by bus.

This all I am stating here just to understand you the situation & the mental stress & excursions of my family due to the failure of the very new car & the unbelievable bad service of Maruti.

Next day the Regional Service Engineer Mr. Ashutosh Sani who was busy in their own meeting told on the phone that they have to do more study on the defect & in the afternoon he told the same thing that the cylinder head has to be replaced & to arrange a part from the factory it will take more 2-3 days.

Till today I have not received my vehicle (4 days are already over).
I was extremely disappointed & unhappy with the service & the product which I received. If you would please address this issue with your Service team, I would greatly appreciate it. I enjoy being a part of maruti family, however if I receive this type of treatment again, I will take my business elsewhere.

Respected Sir,
I the undersigned dr divya nigam 31/fem an owner of maruti suzuki wagaon-R, would like to launch a complaint againste lovely automobiles official dealer and service giver for maruti suzuki india limited jalandhar punjab.

I Ayan Chatterjee want to
inform that I have purchased a MARUTI SUZUKI ALTO
LXi on 14th December, 2008 from
DEWAR'S GARAGE
83/1, TOPSIA ROAD (SOUTH)
Ph #:[protected], 22855287, 22855288
Fax :23435381
Email :[protected]@dewarsgarage.com
Pin Code: 700069
under the supervision of the sales-manager named Mr.Debraj Saha.The
detail of my car is as follows

Engine Number- F8DN-3602267
Chassis Number-MA3EYD[protected]
Regd Number- WB20TF3904(valid from 16th Dec 2008 to 15th January 2009)
WB52G4910(Permanent for 5 years)

But I have not yet received the user
manual of the car.I am continuously calling Mr.Debraj
Saha, asking him to deliver the user manual.But he is
telling me that he will send the manual to my postal
address or himself will carry it to my elder sister's
in-laws house as he(Mr.Debraj Saha)stays near. But he
is showing too much laziness to do that.That is very
much irritating to me because without this manual I
can't take the proper maintainance of my car.It was
promised that I will get the user manual within a week
after the date of purchasing(14th december, 2008).But
till now I have not received the manual.I am quite
frustrated with the behavior of the sales person named
Mr.Debraj Saha.As the days passes he is trying to
de-touch himself from us by not receiving the phone
calls.Infact the showroom DEWRAS GARAGE(from where I purchased my car)is so careless about the problem I am facing.I also wrote a mail to the customer care manager Ms.Rajni Khanna telling her about the same.He replied that I will get the manual by the next monday.But this promise also was not kept.

So, I am feeling so helpless and requesting you to look after my problem so that I can get the user manual as soon as possible.
Thanking you,
Ayan Chatterjee

Dear Sir / Madam,

I have sent the following email to DD motors about a couple of days back without any response from them. I tried to register a complaint on the website but was unable to locate the complaint registration on their website:



I got the service done from DD Motors Mayapuri Service centre (WHICHI HAVE BEEN DOING FROM MANY YEARS NOW as it is very near to my residence). I had given my vehicle for service/ repairs on 3rd January 2009 and was expecting the delivery at 3 pm. Instead, I got the car at about 7:30 pm.

Observations:
1. I was asked to make the payment at 6pm.
2. I was shown the car for test drive at 6:30 pm.
3. About 1 quarter of the fuel(petrol) was missing from the car.
4. The speedometer was not working. Both the things were informed to the service adviser as well as also informed the customer support manager, who had already left for the day. The speedometer wire was fixed later at about 7:15 pm. But nothing was done about the missing fuel. The fuel indicator was shown to the service advisor at the time of making the job card and specifically told that the take is full. While taking the delivery I had shown to the service advisor that the needle of the fuel indicator had come to 3 quarters leve. Which means that about 8-9 liters of petrol had been taken out of the car.

5. After driving the car for about 5-6 kilometers, I observed that the car has started giving vibrations (Missing probably) and the problem is still persisting.

6. Next day morning i.e. on 5th January 2009, I observed that the rubber bidding of the driving side door is sagging and is protruding out of the door while closing the door.

Even after paying an amount of Rs. 9475.00 for the service, the car is not serviced to my satisfaction. I expect a prompt action from your side at the earliest else I shall be constrained to lodge a formal complaint to the manufacturing company.

This mail is just to bring to your notice about the service provided by Maruti.I am avid user of Maruti Cars since 10 years, 2 years back I bought a Maruti Esteem Vxi model.The problem started a month back, I gave my car for service to DD Motors, Mayapuri for service and problem with my power windows, since then my power windows have not been properly repaired .The car has gone thrice to the sevice centre ( DD Motors) with the same problem of Power Windows in the past month .God knows what do these guys do at the time of the delivery of the vehicle, the power windows at that point of time work excellently but in one or two weeks they are in the same old condition.

Sir, this is not expected from a quality company like Maruti and is this the way you provide TRUE VALUE Experience to customers?


Please help in getting my problem resolved from concerned person in the organisation.

Looking forward for a positve response .
