The most disgusting issue is that the car is leaking, the rain water is coming in the car and the seats are getting wet and damaged, the leaking water is getting accumulated in the stepney compartment. Fungus has grown on the Ply Covering Stepeny due to the accumulated water in the compartment, all the carpets got damaged due to water and inspite of informing theservice engineer during first service nothing productive has been done. I THINK I HAVE PURCHASED A BULLOCK CART WORTH RS. 6LACS.

The inner carpets and the seat covers got damaged due to the water leakage and your ppl are charging Rs. 500 for the DRY Clean of the car to dry out the carpets and clean the seta covers. As the carpets are damaged due to the manufacturing defect I want the replacement of the carpets.

IT IS PURE DIFECTIVE CAR WHICH HAS BEEN DELIVERED TO ME.

Since very beginning the vehicle is developing one problem after another.

· Just after days of purchase the Air-condition stopped working and the vehicle had to be kept in the workshop for 3 days to resolve the problem. What I was told is that a component called ECU was changed. Though I could see the signs of trial and error system of diagnostics on the part of the car.

· By the time of first service (i.e. 5262 Kms on 10/06/07), the vehicle had developed number of problems which were non-usage based

o The alternator was having problem and the battery sign of dashboard was constantly flickering

o Digital Watch had stopped working

o Nokia Charger and Multi media set had developed problems (It is still in the same state even after multiple reminder and follow up with Service station and the third party agency as well)

o Rear seat had come out from one side

o DVD player was not fixed properly after the AC problem

o Left Side video screen was not working

o RPM Meter was not working (Defective reading)

o Apart from this the initial defect of left side back door ash tray was also not fixed

The vehicle was kept in the workshop for 2 days and still the charger problem was not resolved. I was assured that it will be done the next day. Then on follow up I was given the contact of the third party vendor the Nokia set (Zenox) and after many follow up the representative turned up for inspection. After he saw the problem, he was not sure whether he was supposed the deal with it or Tata Motors. He promised to revert after verifying with his superior but till date there is no communication. No one from the workshop also reverted despite my repeated follow up. It is not that it is a critical instrument but because I was given to understand that the problem was of wiring and the Watch had stopped working, I was worried of some further damage due to wiring short circuit etc.

· Now within one month of this service and just ~ 6000Kms on 03/08/07, the Check Engine light started glowing. I contacted the service station and was told that it might be due to rains. But I also observed that the color of the smoke from the exhaust had turned very dark and the vehicle was having a shaking feel while in idle state. I took the vehicle to the service station and the check was conducted with the help of Laptop and also physical verification on drive. There were 2-3 problems being thrown up by the system along with the two mentioned above by me at the physical level:

o Vehicle speed sensor fault

o Clutch switch electric fault

o Accelerometer-1 fault – Signal to noise ratio too low

Apart from the above problems diagnosed electronically, it was shown to the mechanic and the supervisors that the emission was of very dark color smoke and also that the car was vibrating even it idle state. I am not too sure but it was also felt that the pick up had gone down from the original levels.

Now the fuel injection system has been replaced as there was a fault in the product which was fitted past its shelf life and there was metalprticles inside there.

My vehicles thermostat trips very frequently, they attended vehicle for repair and worked on ac atleast 6 times and in last service they services fuel pump also but the problem is still pending,

I bought a Tata Marina about 18 months back and since then in has become a maintenance nightmare for me. The service station people are not professional and sloppy. Quality or work is too bad and ethics are shameful. My friends told me to buy a foreign brand car, however I bought TATA car because I wanted to be proud of Indian brand and let the money be with Indian Manufacturer. Seems like I did a big mistake. No more TATA vehicle for me, thats for sure.

Thanks for squashing my loyalty towards Indian Brand.

I have purchased tata indica xeta GLS with CNG fittment (by tata) 8 months back. The vehicle gives black smoke on CNG & petrol. The vehicle is jerking and having very poor pickup on CNG/Petrol. Regularly this vehicle shows check engine error. In the span of last four months, SIX TIMES I have sent my vehicle to TATA Service centre for the same repeated problems. These mentioned problems start very next day of servicing. The CNG version of TATA motors is a totally flop version. I strongly suggest eveyone to donot opt CNG version of TATA motors.
