Volkswagen India — Sabotage or shoddy service?

Address:Secunderabad, Telangana

After sending the car for routine service and being told it was functional and no further advice for service/repairs, we noticed the car suddenly developed a very bad starting problem. To the extent it wouldn’t start after stopping at traffic signs. We send it for repair, and we’re told the throttle has malfunctioned engine wiring is severely damaged. The car has not been driven at all- how can such major damage happen suddenly and with no justification, how was it not picked up on during the last service job? After repairing- the same problem continues and now the EPS sign has started flashing. Highly frustrated with the poor service. Requesting VW to look into the matter and provide a fair resolution. Car model: Polo Highline Petrol (AP10BE8747), Dealership: PPS Motors, VW Secunderabad- Jeedimetla. Service Advisor- Lakshman Vivek, Sreenivas.

Still no resolution in sight. Volkswagen customer care has been very rude and trying to bully us into replacing parts at full cost with no explanation at all to how the damage happened after service. They’ve been claiming they’ve informed us about the issue, but there’s no mention of it in the service invoice or any emails informing us of the matter. They’ve spent their time arguing with us and insisting we’re wrong about the matter, despite evidence to the contrary, instead of providing any service. Will not recommend anyone to purchase a vehicle from VW if this is what a long term customer is treated like. Absolutely dismal.

They’ve been trying to fool us into thinking clutch hard and fan motor equates to a malfunctioning throttle and engine wiring, as someone not knowledgeable in car parts, I can still tell it isn’t the same thing, They’ve spent their time arguing with us and insisting we’re wrong about the matter, despite evidence to the contrary, instead of providing any resolution.
