Dear Sir,
Ref. : Your Job Card S. no. NIL dated 15-10-12, 4.30pm.
Sub. : Our Vehicle no. TN 06 E 2440 – JETTA TDI.
This is to bring to your kind notice that my above vehicle got suddenly breakdown on Sunday 14th Oct. 2012, while proceeding to Hotel Ashoka at Egmore, Chennai. Immediately it was brought to the notice of an Emergency Volkswagen service and after their inspection it was clearly seen the only a small belt was broken in the enigine and due to Sunday it was towed and brought to the service centre.
Till my father went and enquired about the position of the vehicle, it was neither taken for check-up nor the job card prepared. When enquired, one Mr. M. Venkatesh attended and said we would not undertake the said vehicle for check-up or for service for no reason in my name.
After pleading several requests, Mr. Prakash agreed to take up the vehicle under certain conditions and the job card was prepared in my father’s name at 4.30pm on[protected].
Till 5th of November 2012, nothing was carried out on the vehicle, and after several calls and pleading requests, Prakash after cutting a sorry figure, promised to deliver the vehicle before deepavali.
Again when contacted, they said, due to rats bitten the wires and we are unable to locate the exact fault that why it is not starting. Again after a week, when contacted it was stated Sorry! Sir we are still unable to locate the exact fault. Because till than nothing was done to the vehicle.
All of a sudden on[protected], Prakash called up and reported that the vehile many parts of the engine have been bend and all the parts we have requested the management for Warranty, as the vehicle was just 10 months old. This will take some time.
Again on 16th Nov. Prakash called up and said they have received a mail asking all the photographs of the vehicle to clear the spares under warranty. And the same has been sent and we are expecting a favourable reply. In the meantime we have also placed the required parts to be supplied by the factory under Warranty. No sooner we get the parts from the factory, under priority we shall get ready the vehicle in 2 to 3 days time.
Till the last enquiry on 23rd Nov. and personal visit to the service centre, it was reported that all the parts have come and we would deliver to you by the coming Wednesday / Thursday.
Suddenly, to-day i.e., 26th Nov. my father received a call from Mr. Prakash saying that the vehicle is ready with all the parts fitted and test drive taken, and it is fit for delivery, but we are sorry that you may have to pay a sum neary 82000/- being the parts and serv ice charges, as the management have refused to give Warranty for the spares which were actually twisted due to manufacturing defects.
Still Mr. Prakash promised to give one day and I shall again check with the management people for Warranty and let you know tomorrow the exact position. We had asked him to deliver the vehicle in complete running condition with all the services, water wash and buffering by tomorrow, so that we eould file a claim and damage suit against your company for such a wonderful service for a German based company.
Their was previous service of the vehicle given to same sundaram motors in july and their was huge delay from mr.venkatesh on inspecting the vehicle and it took nearly 14 days to deliver the vehicle that too only after my personal visit to workshop and after huge complain I got the vehicle back that too one late and with out wash and polish.
For this I had complain to Volkswagen to take proper action but till date their has been no reply to my mail also. I suspect some kind of foul being played by workshop people on the vehicle and wanted delay and over billing this seems like clear cut unwanted malpractices. I sincerely want all the parts replaced and to inspected by Volkswagen head office as I suspect huge foul play. If no proper action is taken I would rise a criminal complaint against sundaram motors and official incharge.
Everything happens in your company all of a sudden, without any reason, mistakes at your yard are built up on the customer such as rats bitten, spares twisted and bend due to rats bitten as all the Engine parts are plastic made and so on and so on etc.
Hope you understand the situation of a customer, after dumping 22 lakhs on a vehicle and praying God for the goodness of the vehicle for the past 42 days.
Now we shall meet at the consumer court for a claim amd damage suit which follows shortly.
Thanking you,
Yours Sincerely

Dealer's Name- Viraj Automobiles Pvt. Ltd.

Noida - 201301

Date Of Purchase : 11th nov 2012
Date Of Expiry Of Temp. Registration:22nd Dec 2012
Email I.d: [protected]@gmail.com
i have purchased a VW JETTA HIGHLINE model from the above showroom on the 11th of nov 2012.i was promised by the sales head team Mr.Sharad and his sales executive Mr.ajay that i will be given all assistance from the dealer's end to obtain the registration of my car as i was outstationed customer based in meerut-U.P and not putting up in noida.He also promised me that a choice number can be arranged and wont be a problem.I am sorry to inform you that the even after a great deal of efforts and argument from the entire team of VW noida including the Sales head Mr.sharad their is very little help which has been offered to me obtain R.C of my car.the fact that my temporary registration has expired and i still dont have been any other document of legality in hand, leaves my car worth 21 lakhs to bite dust in a garage ever since 22nd of dec2012.Inspite of my regular complains to the sales head regarding his team not taking enough interest in my case nothing has been done to aid my case.They are not even receiving my calls these days which forces me to travel all the way from meerut to noida everytime i have to know the status of my documents.i have been given all sort of execuses in past 15 days.i have personally been to meerut RTO to ensure that the series of my number required has opened up where as in the dealer is still trying to take me on ride by telling me that the series is yet not available or you will have in a day or two's time every time i call or visit them personnally.what hurts the most is that inspite of my complaints to all top bosses no one is even ready to keep me informed regarding the progress of my case.now they have stopped responding to my calls all together.if required i can even go ahead and present VW my call records to press my charges against the dealer and its team.
And if its of any help let me mention this across to you that even the temporary registration was offered to me as much as after 10-15 days after the purchase of my car.till then i was running the car on a TC number and i was given the story by Mr.sharad that because the car has been arranged from some other show room in delhi hence forth the delay!!!the car itself was arranged after the due date of sale as the showroom never had the car in stock but none the less they convinced for booking.
the enitre team of VW noida has mis treated/misguided me in all possible ways( in particular mention to MR.AJAY-sales excutive/Sales head -Mr.Sharad/Mr.Neeraj-Registration Department).it took them more then 17 days even to mail a receipt of confirmation of my number which was done on 12th of dec.it took me more than 100 calls and a lot of argument with the entire even to have the receipt of confirmation of number.finally i was given the receipt of number on 29th dec which if required can be confirmed to VW as i have the forwarded mail with date and email i.d in my inbox.ever since then i have been struggling to obtain My R.C from the dealer.every new day i am given a new story new thoughts/new commitments only to last till the next day .
Sir/Madam i have invested as much as 21 lakhs in a car and the least i expect is to see the car lying in the garage and that to because of sheer negligence of dealer.not only this causes inconvenience to me as a customer but also compromises the brandname and integrity of VW.the odd hours in which i am writing this email should present you my due consirn for my car and lack of faith in the dealer.In such time of crises i look up to you and the team of VW to aid me and to take strict and prompt action in this case so as enabale me receive my required documents as early as possible.
Best Regards
SIDDHANT TOMAR
