[Resolved]  Volkswagen Jetta — All alloys bend with in 4500 km

Address: Kerala

I found alloys bend when the car was just 4500 km when the car had vibration during the drive .

After repeated complaints i have just received a courtesy call from the dealer .And now they are telling that it is wear & tear .I have request that i want the contact detail of company official but the dealer is not willing to had over the details .

The only option for a complaint is customer.[protected]@volkswagen.co.in.

i have not been offered any solution till date after several repeated attempts and requests to solve my problem .

I have not seen such a irresponsible & pathetic customer care in my life

Dear Sir /Madam
Hello, I am a proud and loyal owner of VW jetta. I bought Jetta trend line on 2nd June 2011. My car vin no is WVWK101K8AA554565 and Registration no is UK07AK7979. My car has completed 14743 km till now. I have done servicing of my car in regular interval and other maintenance from time to time.
Now I am having an unusual problem in my car. Few months back my driver side wheel (Alloy) colour faded off and black spot appeared on the wheel (alloy). I complained the issue to the dealer and asked them to change the wheel (alloy) under warranty. They said me that for clamming warranty they have to report the matter to higher authority and they can change the wheel (alloy) under warranty only when they will get approval from the head office. They took the photographs of my wheel (alloy) and mailed everything to their head office. After few days I got the phone call from the dealer and the service manager over there told me that they did not got the permission to replace the wheel (alloy) under warranty but they got the permission to paint the wheel (alloy) for free of cost. I agreed on their proposal and they did painting job on my wheel (alloy).
But from past few days I was getting a shaking experience in my steering wheel whenever my car goes above a speed of 60-70 km/hr and I was feeling waving and shaking experience. I thought that my car is waving and shaking because either my wheel alignment is out or my wheels are not balanced. So for wheel alignment and wheel balancing I went to an authorized garage. But when they checked my car and inspected the wheel, they brought to my knowledge that all the four wheels (Alloy) are damaged and they were not fully even in appearance.
I went to VW authorize dealer 30/08/2012 and they investigated my wheels (Alloy) and tried to figure out the cause. They also called the insurance surveyor, but they were not able to find the cause of the damage. The insurance surveyor is saying that since there is no physical damage in car he is not sure that the insurance company will give insurance claim or not. Although he has referred the matter to higher authority.
My car has no physical damage. Neither my cars shockers nor suspensions are damaged. All the systems of my cars are working fine except my wheels (Alloys).
So it is my humble request to you and your renounced company to look in my matter and replace my wheels (alloys) under warranty free of cost because there is no physical damage to my car and its other parts (not a single scratch) and it is due to manufacturing defect that all four (4) wheels (Alloy) lost their shape all together and same defect happened in all four (4) wheels (Alloy) in same time.
ON 31/08/12, I contacted Mr Joshi Surveyor of Bazaj Alliance about the progress of my claim he told me that Insurance Company has refused the claim since it is manufacturing defect. He also told me that he is unable to give me this in writing.
ON 1/9/2012, I got a mail form insurance that the wheel rims cannot get deformed in a single event when there is no other apparent visible accidental damage to any other part and same does not fall under the purview of insurance cover.
I am trying to contact MR Abhishek, Service Manager on his phone but he is not responding and he is neither picking phone. After lot o[censored]nsuccessful call to Mr Abhishek I decided to go service centre myself. I met Mr Abhishek there and asked why he did not pick my call, he gave many excuses. I asked him to replace my wheels under warranty, he gave me same old answer that for clamming warranty they have to report the matter to higher authority and they can change the wheel (alloy) under warranty only when they will get approval from the head office. They took the photographs of my wheel (alloy) and mailed everything to their head office.
But till now i got no answer from the dealer.

Since insurance company is saying the above statement then it means that everything happened due to the bad quality product supplied by VW India then it is the responsibility of a renowned company like Vw to change the wheels under warranty free of cost
So I request to change my wheels


PLEASE HELP ME OUT OR I HAVE TO TAKE LEGAL ACTION...


Thanking you
Your proud Customer
