The vehicle was bought from Shanthi Motors, Narayanaguda, Hyderabad, in the year, 2012. The required scheduled servicing was also carried out at Hyderabad, by M/s Shanthi motors. The registration No of the vehicle is AP09CJ6110.
2. After keeping it in Hyderabad for a few months, in the year 2013, it was sent to my son, Mr. Karthik, who was then pursuing his Engineering at MIT, Manipal.
3. First indications of something wrong with the vehicle's ABS came to light when my son met an accident and had to be hospitalized at Manipal hospital in May 2013 itself. While returning from a nearby restaurant, the brakes failed and he went and hit a wall. Fortunately, it was not a major accident, other than damages of around some 10k and hospitalization for a couple of weeks. In fact, I attributed the accident to youthful exuberance of my son rather than the defect in ABS functioning, though my son was categorical that break jamming resulted hitting the wall.
4. After due checking, servicing at authorized TVS service center, Sri Radha TVS at Udupi, Karnataka, and replacement of damaged parts of the vehicle, my son continued to use the vehicle.
5. In the year 2014, we shifted to Bangalore, Karnataka, as my son is placed here in ITPL. My son continued to complain about the occasional jamming of the breaks and we have shown the vehicle at three of the authorized service centers of TVS, namely, Neo TVS at Banneragatta Road, Ace Bike service at Madiwala, Trijal service centre at Whitefield and Tristar service center at Domlur, Bangalore.
6. At each of the service centers, the service personnel claimed that nothing is wrong with the functioning of ABS, and we had to replace many parts associated as per the advice of the service center. All the listed replacements were genuine parts only.
a. Three times front brake pads
b. Twice front brake cable
c. Front Disk.
d. Cylinder assembly front master
e. Kit pad assembly
Even after all these replacements, the vehicle's front ABS malfunction has been continuing and in fact, the vehicle is with TRISTAR service for the last 10 days as they are unable to rectify the defect.
The vehicle, which has been bought with a lot of hope and expectations, has left nothing but misery for us. All the time at regular intervals, it was serviced at TVS Authorized service centers only and whatever the recommended parts, were replaced. Till now the overall expenses o[censored]nnecessary visits and servicing at service centers coupled with parts has crossed rs.40, 000/ excluding the pain and misery of my sons accident and hospitalization for fifteen days. You can verify your database based on the vehicle service record about service carried out at various service centers. Remember, at each of the service centers, the same problem of front brake ABS failure was given as a complaint.
I am so much frustrated with the vehicle and its frequent break downs that, I am ready to dispose off the vehicle at half price and don't touch TVS company even with barge pole in my life.
