I bought the maruti swift diesel car vehicle bearing registration number kl-07-ce-3854 from m/s indus motors in september 2015 and have a mileage of 46375 kms as on 06/10/2020. I have done all the periodic services/ maintenance scheduled by maruti and got it done at your authorized service centre m/s indus motors, thevara, cochin. I have availed two years extended warranty also which expired in september 2019. During the warranty period itself while availing service from m/s indus motors, i have complained many times that i had to crank the engine many times to get the vehicle started. Meanwhile, the warning lights were glowed and visited the workshop on 10/02/2018. Initially they told me that they could not find any fault as it was not giving any error codes during computer assisted diagnosing. Later i was told that it was due to fault with collapsible steering column assy and changed it and kept under observation (Jobcard no. Jc17029384 dated 10/02/2018). Even after changing it, the warning light glowed again. Subsequently, the eps controller assy and eps controller were changed on 27/02/2018 suspecting the fault (Job card no. Jc17030788 dated 27/02/2018). But to my dismay, even after changing all these, the warning lights again started glowing off and on and was told that they will keep it under observation. The problem with engine starting persisted though they gave a recommendation vide job card no. Jc19020623 dated 18/11/2019 that they checked the hp fuel pump and could not find fault during computer assisted diagnosing but still kept under observation. Mileage was less than 40000 kms then. On 05/10/2020 the car engine completely failed to start and i had to get the maruti emergency team’s assistance to get the car started. On 06/10/202, i gave the car to m/s indus motors, thevara and then they informed me that the high pressure fuel pump is defective and needs to be replaced which will a cost rs.30, 000/-. I firmly believe that the fault with fuel pump was not properly diagnosed and left unattended due to lack of proper investigation. From the service records you can understand how i am caring my car by doing all periodical service/maintenance as per schedule approaching the authorised maruti workshop, indus thevara by availing the extended warranty and service packages etc.. It is very unfortunate that a car manufactured by a reputed brand maruti needs it fuel pump replaced within a short mileage of 46375 kms which is unbearable for a customer like me using car from a trusted brand of maruti for the last many years. It may be noted that i have made many complaints about the engine starting problem well within the warranty period itself and if the defect of the fuel pump was properly diagnosed at that time i would have get it replaced within warranty. Hence it is requested to look into the matter urgently and take necessary action to replace the fuel pump free of cost.
