TVS Motor Company Complaints & Reviews

Hi,

I am Arun. I bhought TVS Apache in Dec 2009. After 3rd day (I only drove for 80 km) my engine bold was gone and all the engine oil went off. It seems that this caused because of bad component fixing by the TVS or by the show room.

Please do not buy TVS vehicle from SriHari Motors, Bangalore (Opp: Forum Mall). The service is very bad. These people took money for additional parts like indicator buzzer and laddy handle but these were not really installed in my bike and they closed the shop and kept my bike outside on the day I purchased the vehicle. The response was so bad.

I request TVS, please take care of this kind of bad show rooms.

MY BIKE'S front has been changed before it was sold to me. I have informed the TVS company in the initial 7 days of purcahse that either there is some fault in the bike or the parts have been replaced but they do not admit to the fact. One showroom in panchkula says that there is some defect and has changed the front of the vehicle however the CMPL TVS showroom in chandigarh denies the fact till date. I had never thought that it is so unsafe to buy products from shwrooms. It means stand at the showroom door and wait for the delivery truck. As soon as the truck comes buy the bike else some changes would be done to your bike.

I have written complaint to the TVS authorities thrice. I am pasting the emails to this complaint. Please help.


EMAILS ARE AS FOLLOWS


I am marking a copy of my complaint to the consumer court. I do not think there is an alternative to this issue.

regards,

Bhaskar Verma

Sir,

I really disappreciate the kind of importance given to the cusotmers in TVS.

I am wring down my story once again and if you understand kindly give an immediate response as 60000 rs of mine are lying at home, standing in the shape of TVS apache.

i PURCHASED APACHE RTR 160 from CMPL AUTOMOBILES CHANDIGARH on[protected]. In the initial days as it was mentioned that the bike needs to be driven slowly I did not drive it at a speed of more than 40km/L however after the first service when i drove the bike at around more than 50 km/L i and my friends experienced that the bike is not stable and is bending on one side. After driving the bike for 10 kms at a stretch a pain used to emerge in the left hand of the driver. I took the bike to CMPL and told them regarding the issue. The mechanics and the head of the agency there said that there is no issue and the shaking of the bike is only because the tyres are having a defect. They gave me the number of the tyre engineer([protected]. I kept on calling the engineer but to my misfortune he was always travelling and we could not meet for a week. In the end i got the tyres replaced from outside.

Now, the bike was still instable and the pain in the left hand story did not stop. I took the bike to EKAM AUTOS IN PANCHKULA and they admitted that there is some issue in the front of the bike. I then wrote a letter to your company stating my problem. I did receive a call from an engineer in Delhi and some people in chandigarh and was finally told to give the bike to CMPL for repair. I went there and the service engineer Rohit Aggarwal checked the bike and said that there is no issue and the bike is perfectly fine. I was so disgusted with his reply that I literally wanted to take the bike and go back home and write the incidence to a local news paper but rohit told me to collect the bike in the evening. They softened the rear shockers and gave the bike back to me. There was no difference in the running of the bike. Same instability, pain in the hand, bike's face dropping on one side. I then came to know that ROHIT ([protected]) and AREA MANAGER Mr. Bhatia ([protected]) are going to do nothing about this issue. They are just trying to passify me and finish this complain.

The CMPL people asked me to write on a paper that the bike is fine now and then only can i take the bike. I thought that it might be the regular procedure so I followed it and the very next day I took the bike to EKAM auto in panchkula. The EKAM people said that they will change the front of the bike and the problem might get away. I was not at all ready for the repairs but as the problem was not shedding away I agreed so that I can at least ride my new bike at ease.

TO MY AND AGENCY PEOPLE'S SHOCK, when the bike's front was opened for changing the t and the shocker rods the bike was found to be pre-opened. The support under the front mud guard known as the chimta was missing. It clearly states that the bike was opened and while fitting back the parts the mechanic forgot to put the chimta in place again.

Your company authorities, rohit and Mr. Bhatia are not listening to the issue at all. I will go to the court, to the news paper authorities and to everyone possible to get justice in this regards. I have spent good 60000 bucks for my convenience and not for harassment. Please LISTEN TO MY COMPLAIN AND CHANGE MY BIKE. I HAVE TOLD YOUR COMPANY MY PROBLEM IN THE INITIAL WEEK OF PURCHASE, MANY TIMES ON THE EMAIL AND NOW LAST TIME i HAVE TOLD YOU THE STORY ONCE AGAIN. i REQUEST YOU TO KINDLY TAKE THIS CASE SERIOUSLY and ask your dealers not to touch the bike until sold. i need immediate justice in this regards. I will not drive a repaired bike.

Sir/Maam,

I am very disappointed at the quality of service given to me. Your service engineer Mr. Rohit Aggarwal and are manager Mr. Bhatia is not able to resolve my problem.

It has also been proven that the bike which has been sold to me was opened before being sold. The service people of TVS at panchkula have themselves checked that the front portion of the bike was opened.

Is this the kind of crookedness being carried out at the TVS showrooms???? The chandigarh showroom owner has got this bike opened and parts replaced before it was sold to me.

I had a problem in the bike handling since day 1. I reported the problem to the showroom people in the initial days of purchase but nothing happened. They kept on saying that the problem was in tyres and not in the bike. I got the tyres replaced from outside and the problem still persists. Now, the panchkula service center of TVS opened up the front of the bike and replaced the T and the shocker rods. Still the problem is there. Why should I drive a repaired bike when I had reported the problem in the first 15 days. How the hell a showroom owner has the guts to get the brand new bike's parts replaced. This is the final letter which I am writing to the company. In case you do not give an ear to my problem, I will go to the consumer court

I will make sure that each and every news paper in chandigarh knows what happens in the showrooms at TVS outlets. I have been harassed many times now. 6 holidays from my office. Leaving important work, and what i get is only assurance.

Please call me at [protected]. I WANT A RESOLUTION RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Regards

Bhaskar Verma

message sir I have bought a bike from you with chassis number MD634KE4892K02832.From the very first day the bike was instable. I took it to the dealer (CMPL in chandigarh)and he told me that the tyre needs to be replaced and i should speak to the tyre engineer. The engineer kept giving me time for 2 weeks but did not meet as he said he is too busy(his number [protected]). I got the tyres replaced and though the bubbling of the handle has stopped now but the bike is dropping on one side. I took it to the panchkula dealer and there the service people took ride and told that the chassis alignment is not in place. Either the bike is damage in transit or it is an accidental piece. Sir I WANT REPLY ON THIS MATTER WITH THE BIKE CHANGED. IT HAS ONLY BEEN A MONTH THAT I HAVE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE AND WOULD NOT WANT A REPAIRED BIKE. PLEASE GIVE JUSTICE. I AM WAITING EAGERLY

This is reference to services provided by the company ADITI TVS in sector 10 noida. the services provided by the company is patehetic. i gave my bike for servicing on nov 15th, it was my 9th service, what the company did was replaced my original working part that is right hand ignition switch to the older non working one. i got my bike checked before submitting it to get serviced and then also they gave me a call at evening that my bike's righ hand ignition switch is not working, which was working properly in the morning before giving my bike for servicing.
i complaint this to the owner mr arvind as well but he instead started blaming on me and not his mechanics. the manner he spoke was really arrogant and disgustful. I would request everyone not to give bike for servicing to ADITI TVS. the services are really bad and this is turn makes the product of TVS company have a bad name in the public.
At last i bought it from CASTROL Bike Zone and got it fitted.
it is not the first time it happened, every time i gave my bike for servicing something or the other part which was working properly earlier got damaged and replaced.
The owner Mr. Arvind is also not cooperative and instead says that we don't issue any guarantee certicate that the part which was working before servicing will remain the same till it gets serviced.
Pathetic and very pathetic service is provided by the comapny, instead you can do the servicing of the bike yourself rather than getting it done by the ADITI TVS.
This company will make the product of TVS company have a bad image in the public

This is to bring to your notice how lethargic your attitude has turned out to be . I am not sure how far this complaint would be taken seriously , however I need to express my anguish .I had given my Apache Bike for Service on 28 Nov 2009 and they gave the Bike on 1 Dec 2009 . They gave it back informing that the Battery needs to be changed and they don’t have the Stock .I need to tell you that the Service was absolutely Sloppy and they Charge Rs 300 . I am willing to pay not an issue however there should be service and the Foremost everyone should be customer centric .
I had a New battery fixed from outside and the person told that Battery is not charging since a Gadget which charges the Battery while the Bike is running is conked out and this can be done only at the Service Center and which is only 15 min job. Hence I took the bike to your Goodwill Automotive and the arrogant attitude shown by the staff was alarming . They don’t care for the Customers . On top of it they asked the Leave the bike for 1 day . Why should I ? When they have already taken 3 days and this being a 15 min job . Not only me there were 2 other Customers of yours Yelling on Top of their Voice when I went in to take delivery of my vehicle . All your Customers are taken for a ride by this careless and lethargic behaviour . No one is looking at Goodwill Motors, we all are looking at TVS as a Brand and going and ultimately it is TVS Brand which gets Bad name for itself .
For a Paid Service they take 3 Days and Free Service they give it on the Same Day ? Why is this Discrimination . Arent we giving our Hard earned Money . Ideally speaking it should be the reverse , Paid Service should be given on the same day and Free Service should be taking 3 Days.

my bike viberates above speed of 50km per hr. i have been complaining it to tvs speed hazratganj since 2nd service as it is an authorised tvs service centre but no actions have been taken until yet. this niglectance of these agencies may lead to change in brand prefrence of your customers, so its my humble request to you to kindly look towards my problem.

Dear Sir,
I bought a TVS Apche RTR 160 FI in February 2009. The rear disc of the bike is wearied out again. This the fourth time it is happening. the disc has been replaced already 3 times. The disc is still in the warranty period. When i asked the service center people they have been keep on replying badly and the service center name is Ajay Motors, Mysore Road, Bangalore. I expect it to be replaced within a week. otherwise i would need to move to consumer court. I want a immediate reply to this mail.

Dear Sir,

I have purchsed TVS 100cc Centra VTI in October 2006 from the dealer mentioned below:

Dealer Name : SUBHAM TVS
Contact Person : MR. PUSHPINDER
Address : DELHI SAHARANPUR ROAD, CHHAPRAULI CHUNGI,BARAUT
BAROUT - 250611
UTTAR PRADESH
Phone : 262018
Email ID : [protected]@yahoo.co.in,




From the last one year, i m having a lot of problems with its engine, as it never starts sometimes & sometimes its engine stops when we are on the drive. I have visited a lot of workshops for the same problem but none of them give me the exact solution with this problem. I also visited Delhi TVS workshops but there also, i m not able to find even a single engineer from the TVS who can fix this problem completely. Some says its STARTING COILS are out of order, some says that its CLUTCH PLATE is out of order, some says the problem is with the PISTON. Noone guides me correctly.



Even i also mailed to TVS 5 times for the same problem but they even not respond me for my mails. I m happy with my bike & TVS quality but from the last one year, i have suffered a lot.



I request to the concerned authorities to take the corrective steps against my problem & fix it as soon as possible.



Thanks & Regards:

I bought TVS Teenz Electric on 2nd July 2008. Since from the very begininig here was charging problem. The vehicle never completed 30 kms in one charging. The position was pointed out at the time of service but your Chandigarh unit i.e CMPL Automobiles Private Ltd. / Ekam Auto
Pvt. Ltd. Panchkula put off the issue on one pretext or the other. When it was repeatidly complained they replaced the charger but actually it was not replaced or some defective peice which only worked for a month. By the time warranty period of one year was over.Since the defect of charging the vehicle is con.tinuing from the date of delivery, the problem is deemed to be covered within the warranty period. The company is therefore liable to replace the charger at the earliest.
