Dear Mr. Marwaha,


With reference to your mail attached below marked to our Vice
President Mr. Jnaneswar Sen, We would like to draw your kind attention to his
mail dated 18th May’10 and various other communications from our
After-sales Head and our Customer Relations desk sent to you, wherein we have
put across our stand clearly on this issue and have tried to explain to you
that the Extended warranty is valid only if the Periodic Maintenance Services
of the car have been done at specified intervals. For your car not one but
three PM services are missing, which has invalidated the Extended warranty on
your car.


Despite of the above we tried to accommodate your request by
offering a relief on the cost of parts and labour, which was out of our respect
and appreciation of the inconvenience caused to you, and was done purely as a
goodwill gesture towards an esteemed customer. It was never intended to hurt
your feelings in any way.


Kindly let us how can we help you further so as to restore your
confidence on the product.


Assuring you of best services always.


Kind Regards,

Rajneesh Raheja

We were hoping for the satistfactory responsed from ur side but we think that your Customer Relationship Management is not able to give us any good satisfactory response. They are saying the same word I think they are not worried about customer problem . By saying that in future we will satisfy you by our service, I just want to know that In present if ur not able to solve the problem then how u will satisfy customer in future.
We like to meet u inperson and want to share with you plight of your customer been mishandle by your employees.
It mensProblem of customer is only inconvinece for u .
Sir if this is your last response from ur side than tell me when will I come with the poor quality car and handle over the key of the poor quality car to u, may be u know how afraid it is to run the car who may be the reason of our death.

The mail send by Mr Rajneesh Raheja Customer Relationship Management Show that, we are making them irritating by sending the mail to u and he his not botherd about customer problem .I think that he is only sitting there for making the Customerfoolish .He is not concern about company image.

We wish to inform we have put across out stand point on all the the issues raised by you, every time you have approached us at HSCI. We have reasoned out and answered all your queries over telephone and also in writing.

With reference to your comment on the car lying unutilised, we once again urge you spare your car for repair which will be undertaken on payment basis. We assue you the quality of repiars will be as per Honda standards.

We once again regret the caused to you and assure you of our best services always.

President,
Honda Siel Cars India Ltd
Greater Noida – UP

Dear Sir,

We would like to bring to your notice our plight & treatment given to your customers by your team members & dealership staff.

Please find here the pathetic, inconsiderate, irresponsible, irritating reply from your company V.P.-Marketing.

From his reply he seems to be irritated by the fact that

Why a customer is sending repeated reminders?
His reply seems to be pinpointing that your so called great company has replied 3 times against our 10 reminders & 50phonecalls, nowhere he seems to be bothered about our condition or what was our reply over the mail sent by your CRM Deprtment.

We are shocked to see the reply of your VP – Marketing stating that

“We would like to reiterate that the Extended Warranty of the car is valid only if the regular maintenance is done as per schedule specified by the manufacturer. In the case of your car, the PM services scheduled at 55K and 65k Kms have not been done which invalidates the Extended Warranty on your car. The above fact is also mentioned in the Extended warranty booklet handed over to you at the time of purchase.

Further, to your query regarding the relationship between PM Service and Steering, we wish to inform you that during all PM services, we undertake extensive checks on steering and suspension parts wherein all the nuts and fasteners are re-torqued, all electrical wirings, connections & couplers are inspected and all steering & suspension joints are lubricated to reduce stress on moving parts. If you don't get the routine maintenance done regularly, covering the above jobs, the parts will experience increased stress which may result in their failure as has happened in your case.”

Does this means that HONDA CARS uses power steering of such poor quality that they needs re-torquing at every 5000kms & if not done it would fail. We have already stated in our various communications as we have skipped theses services on recommendations of Service Advisor at your Dealership RING ROAD HONDA, Gurgaon, who told us to get car serviced at 10000kms at the time he insisted us to go for synthetic engine oil to be filled in place of normal engine oil.( He told us this is of better quality & needs replacement to 10000kms so you can get your car serviced after driving 10000kms).
From the reply received by your VP & CRM it seems they are least bothered about customer & everyone is saying the same song.
Nobody at the time of delivery told us that the car warranty is only 40000kms & after that the parts would be covered under extended by Insurance Company & Honda Cars have no say over it.
Why when we first time reported this complaint of noise coming from steering on 24-11-2009 at Kms : 59027
Your dealership staff at that time only tightened a bolt & not replaced unit under warranty .
It seems that your dealership & Honda Company staff just trying to pass the buck some way or other to each other & finally back to customer.
We still feel that the problem of noise coming from power sttering is due to poor product quality and not due to services not done ( That also was not done due to your dealership service advisor telling us so)
So we would request you to kindly ask your dealership to replace the power steering under warranty, with no cost being shared by us. We also feel the offer given by your VP

“In view of the above, we are constrained to express our inability to repair the car under warranty.However, you can get the part replaced on chargeable basis, in such a case as we have already offered to you, we would advise our dealer to pass on a discount of 5% the part and 25% on labour as a gesture of goodwill towards an esteemed customer.”

This above statement / offer by your VP seems to be like giving a offering to a beggar. What help a person of VP Level offering to a customer has no fault & who has purchased a car for 7 Lacs, he is offering us 2500/- what he think of us, what he means by discount of 5% on part of 45000/- a mere amount of 2250/- & 25%on labour of 1000/- i.e. mere 250/- more. ( 2250+250=Rs2500).More ever same was offered to us by your CRM & we have refused for same earlier .

The car is lying unutilized for a month now, as I promise to not get it changed at my cost as I feel this failure is due to product quality & nothing to do with services being done or not . I don’t want to put life of my family members while driving this car . In case of any mishappening OR Accident happening to myself or any of my family members while using this car the entire responsibility now lies with you & your company.

We would request you to kindly help your customer in getting justice which is already being denied & delayed to us.
A customer of yours who is promisising you to not take Honda car again in future by self or any other members of my family members if my justful right is not delivered to me.

Looking for a favorable response from your side by giving free replacement of power steering under warranty to us.

Dear Mr. Marwaha,


This is with reference to your below mail, wherein you have mentioned that
you are still awaiting response from our end prompting you to send reminders
.We, however, would like to draw your kind attention to mails from our
Customer relations department dated 26th April, 11th May and 13th May,
wherein our stand on the issue was explained to you quite clearly.


We would like to reiterate that the Extended Warranty of the car is valid
only if the regular maintenance is done as per schedule specified by the
manufacturer. In the case of your car, the PM services scheduled at 55K
and 65k Kms have not been done which invalidates the Extended Warranty
on your car. The above fact is also mentioned in the Extended warranty
booklet handed over to you at the time of purchase.


Further, to your query regarding the relationship between PM Service and

extensive checks on steering and suspension parts wherein all the nuts
and fasteners are re-torqued, all electrical wirings, connections &
couplers are inspected and all steering & suspension joints are lubricated
to reduce stress on moving parts. If you don't get the routine maintenance
done regularly, covering the above jobs, the parts will experience increased
stress which may result in their failure as has happened in your case.


You will also appreciate that you have already covered more than 71 K Kms
and the car has been giving you trouble free service till you were getting
it serviced regularly. The problem arose only after the PM services were
neglected.This also validates the fact that the steering failure is not
due to any manufacturing issue but due to irregular maintenance, .


In view of the above, we are constrained to express our inability to repair
the car under warranty.However, you can get the part replaced on chargeable
basis, in such a case as we have already offered to you, we would advise
our dealer to pass on a discount of 5% the part and 25% on labour as a
gesture of goodwill towards an esteemed customer.

Sub: Defect in Car Reg No:HR 26 AS 2466


Respected Sir,


We have purchased Honda City on 30-4-2008 from Ring Road Honda .

This car has travelled 71515 Kms as of now.

This car has developed some complaint of noise coming from front side.

We have shown this car on Ring Road Honda, Gurgaon on

1. On 24-11-2009 at Kms : 59027

They told that there is some play in power steering & they have done
some adjustment by adjusting some screw . They that time told this is maximum
they can do for this complaint.

that we have not done service between 59027 Kms to 69759Kms so our claim

It seems your dealership is trying to refuse the warranty repairs on our
car on one pretext or other. First they said there is noise due to power

there is noise but claim is rejected due to services not done on time or

Can anybody explain that on which basis dealership reject Power Steering
replacement under warranty?

On grounds of 2 services not done,

Is the defect in power steering happened due to 2 services not being done?

Or

Its due to poor Quality of Power Steering?


Or

How this defect can occur in just 70000kms, is it means at every 70000kms
the Power steering assy. Needs replacement.

We strongly feel that it’s a complaint arising due to poor product quality
& nothing to do with services being done or not ( which also were lapsed

Dear Sir,


Kindly refer to your e-mail and our tele conversation regarding above mentioned
car.


The car came on 20th April 2010 for noise in the front. During diagnosis,
it was observed that power steering rack required replacement. As this
part required to be replaced under extended wtty, surveyor from insurance
company was called.


The surveyor rejected the claim as two to three services were not carried
out as per maintenance sehedule.This was communicated in person as well
as on telephone.


We assure you that it will be always our endeavour to provide you our best
services.


Thanking you for patronizing Honda product.
