[Resolved]  Fiat Linea — Manufacturing defects

Address: Gurgaon, Haryana

I bought a Fiat Linea Emotion pack Petrol from ABS motors, Sector 29, Gurgaon on 22/03/2010.
When I started car first time it took 2 times to start... surprised me but on second time try it started in a click.
I took car to my place.... next day morning it took 3-4 times to start. Surprised me and this was a start of taking my brand new car to workshop. It took 5 times form ABS workshop people to fix up my STARTING PROBLEM.

2. As car visited 5 times in first 3 months of purchase they changed a lot of parts following a HIT and TRY approach. This caused few new problems.
Coolant leakage
Check Engine light
Lamda sensor
Engine miss

3. Its been 14 times in past 2 years that my car has visited workshop and still following problem persists
ENGINE MISSING PROBLEM (Blinks check engine light)

Every time spark plugs are changed problem fixes for 1- 4 months but comes again after that.

4. ABS motors also called engineers from Pune to fix my car but...... NO HELP!!!

5. Even the resale is so bad that i am not getting even 40% of purchase price (car age is <2 years and 19000 kms running)

I agree that all the fixes haven't costed me money but TIME... a lot. taking car to workshop waiting for 2-3 days and bringing it back..... a big pain. I do not trust that my car will ever be fixed... so many visits of my car to workshop has made it a wreck now...engine noise, dash board vibrations, glove box fittings, ac effeciency and smoothness of car is totally lost.


I have no other option left now... went to a lawyer to go for consumer court complaint again Fiat.

I just wish I get justice..........quite negative on expectations related to car after my experience
