Volkswagen India Complaints & Reviews

My vw vento is in extended warranty (Mh02cp8441) and has had the following complaints since the first year itself.

1. Gears do not engage properly
2. The fuel gauge indicator malfunctions and does not show correct reading.

I have complained to mumbai dealers (Esp. Tornado motors) and sent the car for repair but every time they do some workaround and send the car back without addressing the core issue. Within weeks the problems start again. It has now been 3.5 years and at least 10 visits to workshops, but no avail. Can you help,

I mr. Karunakar teddy i am having polo vehicle, we have given vehicle for engine start problem as well as 90 k service. After completion this service we have taken vehicle, but it was not in good condition as we are given at the time service. Now after service no ice is coming from stirring and diesel tank cap is not working and extremely i have not satisfied with your vehicle and their service. If you people will not take proper action we will approach liagally.
My vehicle no. : ap29bu 0669
Service center : uppal hyderabad.
Thanking you

Unnecessary delay in giving trc by the dealer
poor show volkswagen india!!!


purchased cross polo mpi1.2 on apr 27 2016, dealer vw india -maa sheetla autowheels, haldwani, uttarkhand promised trc

in a day or two--- but never delivered trc ( temporary registration certificate) till date (06/june/ 2016)

despite regular reminders on phone and email.The salesmanager mr. Javed doesnt pick up phone and

the junior staff simply utters the same answer eachtime that its a govt process and the file is at

govt office for same despite the well known fact the trc is issued by the dealer itself and later rc

through rto... When i insist on reasons they say that this model has not been approved by state rto

dehradoon .I say when its not approved by the state rto then how come you sell this car to

customer .Who will bear the depreciation and the loss incurred till now and what if any damage

occurs to the vehicle.Where are the legal liabilities of vehicle .Who will stand with the customer in

case of dispute----dealer or volkswagen india.Traffic police person often ask for the trc...Where is

legal liability...I have purchased car from volkswagen india --they are responsible to all the

disputes arising out of it as they have allotted such dealers who cant even arrange trc of the

vehicles they are selling to its customers ---vw india should have this much of say on the dealers

...Anyhow thats their issue but it does affects customers who are left at god mercy.


I contacted vw india complaint no.Ccr63731...And earlier each day i used to call them they had the same answer

" sorry for the inconvenience and we wil soon contact you" which they never did either thru mail, or any phone calls ever . It was me calling them eachday for the updates...Pathetic !!!
and now they have started uttering the same answer of dealer that the temporary registration is under process with the rto ...Such is the state of volkswagen, they dont bother whether the sold vehicle has the trc even issued or not even as more than 40 days spent after sale...Dont ever go for this brand i recommend ...Horrrifying!!!


all i need is a strict action against volkswagen india and they need to compensate it for all the

depreciation of vehicle till now, mental torture and future legal liabilities. How can they be so

irresponsible despite propaganda of best customer services.Atleast such incidents should never

occur with anyone ...Nightmare car!!!😡☹️

Hi

Recently the storage box of my polo dashboard was broken. I go to kirti nagar centre and there service head mr sachin attend the case and told that in volkswagen seperate part not possible so whole dashboard to be changed. The cost for same will be appx rs[protected] for dashboard and 4000 for fitting)
I argue but he deny.

Then i go to jahangirpuri centre and mr rohit attend. He is very genuine person and changed the broken part itself in rs 2050 only.

How can volkswagen policy differ in two centres.
This show clearly that kirti nagar centre is cheating customers and making unethical money

My Volkswagen Polo car's clutch has been demaged from last 2 months and it is in not moving condition. As I bought that car from Guwahati(Assam) 2 years back and according to Volkswagen, now their service center has been moved from Guwahati.

Firstly when I contacted Volkswagen customer care they adviced to bring my car to Kolkata which is totally unethical because I bought that car from Guwahati.

Then repeated complain Mr.Debasish Das of contact number [protected] from Volkswagen Kolkata contacted me first week of last month saying that after 2/3 days their technician will reach Guwahati and will replace the damaged clutch plate.

But till now whenever I use to call him he always downplays and say by next week surely will be done.And that continue to happen till date.

As my car is in garage from last 2 months, there might be some more problem can occur due for not driving that car.

Please help me and guide.

Thanks and Regards,

I Vinod N Patil owner of Volkswagon Polo Highline, Car number- MH 14 EU 3121. I gave my car for a second service of my car on 24th may 2016, i received my car that evening only, though service was not that good, cause inside of tha bonet was not cleaned well. I went to Lonavala on thursday 26th may 2016 . i reached there stopped my car at my bunglow, then when i went to take some stuff at market, while returning when i ignited my engine, all the lights started flickering and when i gave a start to the car, it wasn`t happening. It was like the car has left with no battery. i tried to push the car and start it up in the 2nd gear but that also didnt happen.The i called up the customer care and then they send a technician for help. he jump started the car and told to let it be on for 30-45 mins and try to start it up the next morning, he told us that the battery of the car was full down. We went the next day to give the car in the service center. they examined the car and told that it was a battery fault. they gave us a service battery. the compain is that, when i gave my car it was fit and had no battery issues, but when i received it, it got a problem. This Has Happened in Global Gallarie Group Thane. All the Batteries has 2 year warantee but they said battery has 1 year warantee. I want a replaced battery. Please look to it.
Thankyou.

I, Mrs Saroj Chaudhari owns Vento automatic MH12 HL 6595 in Pune .
My car has damaged the bumper and radiator in small accident and i have deposited my car for repairs at Vidyut Motors Pune on 12 May 2016 .
The Garage has claimed from insurance company and same is sanctioned . They got the bumper but says that Radiator is not available from Company due to shortage and they have placed order long back .

I request you to give me information firstly if there is really any such shortage, and secondly when can it be made available .
And as a manifacturer company isnt it your duty and responsibility to provide the spares through all the dealers ?

I am sure Company will realize that this tactics or delays is going to affect your name And bussiness in future directly, because like the good publicity for good service the negative word also spreads equally or rather faster .
So please let me know the actual status of the Radiator delivery yo Vidyut motors for my Car .

I own volkswagen vento car (Petrol version), on[protected] i renewed my car insurance with the oriental insurance co.In the care of volkswagen.
On[protected], i submitted my car to ncr-east, sahibabad workshop for service and bodyshop.. I got some dents on the right back door, on the left penal, left front door, at the bonut, on the roof, and some minute scratches at the back and on front..
Left backlight and right mirror cap is broken..
I understand that the policy doesn't include old dents that is why i don't want the claim of left backlight, right mirror cap, bonut and roof (Bonut and roof have major dents which i will pay for it myself as they are older)..
But surveyor is not giving me the claim of the rest fresh dents and scratches..
There is no reson of taking the insurance with volkswagen if it doesn't meet with the satisfaction of costumer.
I've been talking to bodyshop departments over a month and there is no cooperative answer..
If volkswagen wouldn't help me then who will standby the costumer?
Note: this is my first claim since i've purchased my vento..

My name is Purathur Thomas Francis, i am an NRI from Muscat. Beginning of this month i purchased VW-polo from Phoenix car-trichur., for my son who is studying in b'glore. Reg. No. KL 08- BJ 4807.
Before finalising the deal, my only request with the Sales Manager was to arrange a driver to deliver it in b'glore, for which initially he hesitated and then he agreed. When i specifically asked him how much will be the extra cost, he said he will manage and send one of his driver in showroom for free.
But things turned bad, when it came to the time of delivery, we were informed that we need to pay 4000 rs with return ticket and hotel accomodation to the driver. this if he had mentioned earlier i would have either agreed or arranged myself some other person.
Inspite of my several calls from muscat to him, his response was poor, and he was avoiding us.
This is not the service i expected from a senior person like him.
The car is really good, and we came to this showroom to have a long relationship with VW. But with this kind of dealing, you leave bitterness
in the hearts of the customer.
i am writing this only to put it in record what has happened to me and also to ensure that this kind of incident, atleast doesn't happen to others.
This sales manager mobile no. is [protected].
my son mobile no. is [protected].
Thanks,
Francis

Own a volkswagen vento highline tdi, bought on July 2012
From past few weeks my car started loosing its pick-up while driving, i took my car to the authorized workshop and got it checked.
At the workshop after checking my car, i was told that the turbo charger (Glow) sensor is faulty and it needs to be replaced, the cost of replacement is approximately 120k to 141k inr.
I inquired why the sensor got damaged, the concerned people were unable to answer.
I find this fishy, please help me...

We were proud to be VW customer - this statement is true for only before sales & 2 months after sales.

Really very careless service providing after sales. We were now the past customers which are facing lot of problems after the first servicing regarding vehicle.

Please find the incidents details regarding the vehicle:
Resi No : MH10CA2799
VIN No : MEXF15601FT108265
Delivery Date : 27th Aug 2015

1. First Servicing Date : 6th Apr 2016, KM : 12879 = After this no problem
2. After 17928 KM – Vehicle no stable @80 to 110KM/hr = Again on dated 4th May 2016 – checked with Unique Automobiles Kolhapur = They done revised wheel balancing & alignment.
3. Received vehicle @ 5th May 2016 with assurance of the fault & general check-up.
4. After just 210 KM passed – Vehicle flash high Temp alaram & coolant was no more in vehicle. Vehicle given to BU bhandari @ 9:30PM on 6th may 2016 with KM -18138.
5. Vehicle checked & received on dated 11th May 2016 with KM -18163 without giving satisfactory problem resolution but assured that all work done with gurranty.
6. After the same dated 24th 2016 – KM- 19160 – Again vehicle showed engine check with some wire alaram. Again vehicle given to Unique Automobiles Satara.
If you check the history from customer point of view – really suffered through very pathetic situation which suffered on ROAD where I cancelled the main appointments.
I personally not satisfied the service which you are providing where vehicle was not completed one year.
Its really not good sign to live VW family for lifelong.
Can you improve your services & communication between customers.
Many complaints are given during survey call but till no action or improvements shown.

Really the promise, trust given at time of purchase was not given to customer as per commitment.

Dear sir, I had purchased a Volkswagen Vento from Volkswagen Hissar on 18h Sep 2014 through Canteen Stores Department Hissar. Since I am settled at Jabalpur on retirement from Army the Car was driven to Jabalpur and since then it has been under regular maintenance of your local dealer VW Jabalpur Frontier Cars India Pvt Ltd Bhedaghat Road Bypass Crossing Jabalpur. Due to unfair wear of Inner Edge of tyres Premature failure had resulted and Two new tyres was provided by Local Apolo Office . My car as on date has done 31000 KM but the under carriage was not taken care by your local workshop both the front tyres again had similar tears on the inner side and have again been replaced . The tyres replaced earlier have been fitted at rear wheels. You can review from the history of my car that it has been taken for Servicing and also regular checks before and after long journey, Since the wheel alignment machine ofVW garage is not working.I undertook the wheel alignment and wheel balancing in local workshop who advised me that the fault is with the Arms of my car which can only be attended by VW Dealer, I had again taken the car to VW Dealer on 12 and 16 May but the service engineers do not understand the problem, hence this complaint to you.Now my car has two new front tyres and two old tyres fitted at rear wheels I have been unnecessarily made to spend on tyre replacements

Dear sir,

From purchasing to till date, our experience with volkswagen is worst.
Bought polo petrol from vw ahmedabad, automark motors pvt ltd, s. G. Highway. We were given quotation with reverse parking sensors, and at time of delivery of car, they refused saying, its not possible. We have written proof. Our friend bought same model from another showroom (Das auto, ahmedabad), with a gape of a week, and got reverse parking sensors in it.

Then, for 1st 6monthly check up, their response was poor. There is no inter department coordination. Service centre - automark motors pvt ltd, ujala circle, sarkhej, ahmedabad.

Again this time i kept my car under insurance coverage for windscreen replacement! And very poor response, n poor coordination. Worst service ever. We deal with service head mr chirag, job card coordinator mr mayur, and engineer? Mr devendra. No coordination between these guys.

Other companies provides much much better service at door step.

We regret our relationship with volkswagen.
