Subject: Anti-consumer practices by Maruti Suzuki through its agent Mohan Motor Udyog, Kolkata
Dear Sir,
Contrary to our high expectations from Maruti Udyog Ltd., the treatment we have received from you and your associates has been appalling. We purchased on April 9, 2007, a vehicle of type Swift/Diesel/VDI of colour B. Red with Chassis No.: 222289, Engine No.: 1006035, License plate WB 02 X 5702, from your authorized dealer Mohan Motor Udyog. The car was handed over for repairs to Mohan Motor Udyog on date 23/7/2007. This workshop is situated in an area without proper roads where even perfect cars would be damaged. I fail to understand why an auto workshop should be allowed in this area by Maruti. After facing several delays and going through a lot of harassment over a period of about 6 months, we were finally told by their technicians – Feroze and the workshop manager, Biplab Roy, that the car was ready. They had raised a very high bill of Rs. 93137/-. At the workshop, we found that the car had not been repaired completely and there was a sound from the injector. We were finally able to pick up the car a week later, the week of 21st January, 2008.
On July 6, 2008, the car got overheated and the coolant tank became empty just a day after refilling. We sent the car to Mohan Motor Udyog for repairs. On being informed by Mohan Motor that the car was ready to be picked up, our representative went to pick up the car on July 16, 2008, but found that the car is not taking start, and releasing a lot of smoke. The car is not in driving condition. Instead of fixing the problem, Mohan Motor had done servicing of the car. Overall, Mohan Motor has been highly negligent and given very poor customer service, and a bad name to your group.
Such quality of service is highly unexpected, especially from a reputed company like Maruti. Our group of companies has favoured Maruti cars since its beginning but with these developments, we have lost total confidence.
Compelled by your actions, we are pursuing this case in Consumer Court and other forums.
Sincerely,
Aug 13, 2020
Complaint marked as Resolved
Sir,
Sub : Complaint of “MARUTI SWIFT VDI”
Ref : Engine No.1153301 Chassis No. 379212
Colour - Pearl Arts.
Kindly refer the above. We introduce our self, we ie; Archana Industries, Kottayam are one of the dealer of “CUMMINS” India Ltd., & “BIRLA POWER Solutions” in Kerala. We are dealing smaller ratings of all kinds generating sets & are also doing services after sales.
On 19/11/2008 one of our partner named Mr.G.Satheesh bought one “ MARUTI SWIFT VDI ” (Diesel) Motor Car from Maruti’s dealer M/s. Popular Vehicles & Services Ltd., Kottayam [Invoice No.53395KRDCD9 dtd.19/11/2008]. Actually the vehicle is in warranty, but vehicle shows minor complaints right now it’s “A/c” is not working. Still the vehicle runs only 12, 545Kms., till date we follows company norms & as per company norms we are doing it’s services at the right time ie; changing it’s engine oil three times & also doing services 1st service at 1000Kms, 2nd service at 5000Kms & 3rd service at 10, 000Kms. Before buy the “SWIFT” car we are using an “TATA Motor’s Indica” car, but till the last sales which can not shows any complaint. In our experiment we compare “MARUTI SWIFT” with “TATA INDICA”, “Indica” is much better than “Swift”. So, how can we refer any other customer for buying “MARUTI SWIFT”.
Since 19th April, 2009 we found that our vehicle ie; Maruti Swift Air Conditioner is not working. After find out the said complaint we have approach ‘Maruti’s’ authorized service dealer ie; M/s.Popular Vehicles & Services Ltd., Kottayam, on 20/041/2009 for rectifying the said complaint. But till date they can not detect the complaint or rectify the same. For the past couple of days we are waiting for their response. If we inquire the current status of the said vehicle ‘Maruti’s’ authorized service officials say’s that tomorrow/day after tomorrow will rectify the said complaint. We inform the matter directly to the service manager & he say’s that at least ten to fifteen day’s for rectifying the same complaint. We buy the vehicle for our official/personal use not for popular show room purpose. In this circumstance we don’t like to corporate with you.
Hope you will take the matter seriously & expecting your earlier & valuable action.
Regards
G.Satheesh.
