I AM A OLD CUSTOMER OF TATA AND PURCHASED TATA INDICA IN 2005
(GJ1HJ1417) FOR 4.3 LAKHS BUT ALL I GOT IS BIG PROBLEMS AND SUFFERINGS.
EXTREMELY POOR QUALITY PARTS USED OF CAR AND MORE POOR IS THE QUALITY
CONTROL AND WORSE IS DEALER SERVICE. I SOLD IT OFF JUST IN 2.5 YEARS AT
40% PRICE AND THEN I DID THE BIGGEST MISTAKE OF MY LIFE I TRUSTED TATA
PEOPLE AND PURCHASED TATA INDICA DICOR (GJ-1HP-8692) FOR 4.5 LAKHS. TATA
PEOPLE HAD ASSURED ME THIS TIME I WONT FACE ANY PROBLEMS AS THIS IS A
MUCH IMPROVED VERSION. THEY WERE RIGHT. I DIDNT FACE THE OLD TROUBLES
BUT A WHOLE NEW TYPE OF TROUBLES. MY INDICA DICOR IS 20 MONTHS OLD AND
IN 40 DAYS OF PURCHASE ITS ENTIRE COOLANT ASSEMBLY FAILED, HAD TO BE
REPLACED AS IT FAILED AND COOLANT LEAKED, 2ND ITS POWER STEARING FAILED
(WITHIN 75 DAYS OF PURCHASE) AND COMPLETE ASSEMBLY OVERHAUL COSTING
27, 000. ENGINE BELT WHICH RUNS MIN 1LAKH KMS BREAKS COMPLETELY AFTER
EVERY 5000 - 10, 000 KMS AND NOW ITS POWER WINDOWS FAILED WHICH ARE NOT
COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THESE ARE THE MAJOR PROBLEMS FACED APART FROM 20
OTHER SMALL PROBLEMS OUT OF WHICH 10 PROBLEMS ARE STILL PENDING AS NO 1
CAN REPAIR THEM.
10 PENDING PROBLEMS:
1. EXTREMELY POOR QUALITY & NOISY SUSPENSION. EVEN MY BIKE SUSPENSION
ARE BETTER.
2. DOORS & SEATS RATTLE AS IF A LOCAL BUS .
3. WINDOWS WHEN OPEN MAKE MUCH NOISE (NOT ABLE TO FIX AT ALL)
4. ENGINE BUSHING HAS PLAY HENCE ENGINE VIBRATES AND MAKES NOISE ON
ROUGH ROAD. (TO BE REPAIRED IN NEXT SERVICE)
5. AT TIMES ELECTRIC LIGHTING & HORN SYSTEM SUDDENLY FAILS AND
AUTOMATICALLY RECOVERS ON ITS OWN WISH.
6. AT TIMES THE KEY FAILS TO START THE ENGINE AS IT DOESNT MOVE AND GETS
STUCK
7. BACK SIDE DOOR ONE NEEDS TO BANG TO CLOSE IT (PROBLEM SINCE DAY 1)
8.AT SUDDEN PICKUP ENGINE EMITS EXTENSIVE QUANTITY OF BLACK SMOKE. SO
MUCH THAT YOU IF YOU LOOK IN BACK REAR VIEW MIRROR ALL YOU SEE IS BLACK
SMOKE NOTHING ELSE.
9. RETARDING PICKUP (WHICH THEY NEVER ADMIT)
10. AC FAN IS TOO NOISY (TATAS PERMANANT FEATURE) EVEN AT LOW SPEEDS
UNLIKE IN ALL OTHER NON TATA BRANDS.
NOW I GOT SEVERAL FEEDBACKS THAT INDICA VISTA FAILS ANYTIME AND CAR
COMES TO A STAND STILL ANYTIME ANYWHERE.
I FAIL TO UNDERSTAND IF SUCH IS THE QUALITY THAT TATA DELIVERS IN 4.5
LAKHS THEN WHAT WILL THEY GIVE IN NANO? THAT TOO TATA MASTERS IN DIESEL
ENGINE TECHNOLOGY. MY QUESTION TO YOU. WHEN A CO MAKES A PETROL CAR IN
WHICH THEY DONT HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE AND WHICH MASTERS IN DIESEL
TECHNOLOGY ONLY AND GIVES IT JUST FOR 1 LAKH PLUS WHEN ITS MASTERED
DIESEL TECHNOLOGY CAR WORTH 5 LAKHS FAILS ON ROADS WITH 3RD CLASS PARTS,
NO QUALITY CONTROL AND SERVICE SUCH POOR THAT YOU WILL EVEN GET BETTER
SERVICE AT A MOTORCYCLE SERVICE CENTER AND WHEN ITS SERVICE CENTER
ENGINEERS / SUPERVISORS ARE JUST WAITING TO FIGHT WITH YOU 24X7 THEN
...WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT IN 1 LAKH PLUS CAR? YOU SHOULD THINK A
MILLION TIMES BEFORE YOU BUY NOT ONLY NANO BUT EVEN THEIR 8 LAKH RS
SAFARI AS I HAVE PERSONALLY SEEN A CUSTOMER TRYING TO SET ABLAZE HIS NEW
SAFARI AS IT HAD REPEATED PROBLEM WHICH A TATA MOTORS FAILED TO RECTIFY
TILL TIMES OF INDIA COVERED IT.
PLEASE DO HELP ME IF YOU CAN AND GET MY WHOLE CAR FIXED OR A NEW CAR OR FULL REFUND. "REFUND WILL BE BEST SO I CAN EASILY FORGET TATA BRAND FOR LIFE TIME."
I APPEAL TO PEOPLE NOT TO GO FOR TATA CARS COME WHAT MAY. IF YOU HAVE
ANY DOUBTS SEARCH THE NET AND YOU WILL FIND 90% CAR COMPLAINTS ARE OF
TATA AND PENDING 10% FROM THE ENTIRE INDUSTRY. IF YOU ALREADY ARE A TATA
CUSTOMER...THEN ONLY GOD CAN HELP YOU. BECAUSE I SUFFERED TOOO MUCH
SO I CONSIDER IT MY DUTY AND RIGHT TO INFORM OTHERS AND MAKE THEM AWARE
SO THEY DONT FACE SUCH PROBLEMS. IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBTS GO TO ANY
SERVICE CENTER AND CHECK MY CARS RECORDS AT ANMY SERVICE CENTER.
