The ordeal translated for us into severe hardships and sufferings. Our diwali festival turnout into a ‘diwala from renault’, we had to cancel our holidays & hotels bookings for the family trip planned in new car, paying rent for the ‘parking’ with vehicle not being used.
1. Uptil the delivery date of 27-sep-2017, this car was lying at renault’s dealer’s premises for 3 months.
2. Car delivered with lot of dust on the day of delivery. Manufacturing date of car as per the records was 22-june-2017.
3. Sales teams were incompetent & found unaware of the key features of the product they were selling.
4. A consistent loud rattling noise from the steering column was experienced. The cause of which was identified as a screw left loosened by renault’s staff.
5. Severe ‘rusting’ has been found in the ‘car’ on the obd connector/ diskey, stepney, front-wheel-hubs, chassis etc.
6. Clutch noise found during starting, sound increases with woo-woo sound on changing-of-gears and sound increases on putting the ac on. During the visit on 29-sep-2017 at renault’s service centre it was found that their technical staff was incompetent in diagnosing the cause of problem.
7. This car was found to have low pickup & low performance as per renault’s any other kwid climber 1.0 rxt.
8. Mil ‘fatal warning’ light flashed within 24 hours of the ecu firmware upgrade (From 7.7.9 to 7.8.0) at renault’s service centre on 29-sep-2017.
9. Statutory number plate and extended warranty papers pending for last 3 months and not delivered by renault till-date.
10. Renault & its product have compromised with the safety & security of me & my family.

I want renault to take full ownership of their misdeeds that are ongoing and take back their defective and rusted product.
