Dear Sir,
Sub: Replacement of Volkswagen Passat by Recalling it
due to repeated Engine Failure
Ref : Complaint CL 5903
It gives us extreme pain to intimate the harrowing experienced by us in the last few months owing to repeated engine failure within 32 months from the time of buying the vehicle
Model : Passat
Colour : C White B Class : LMV
Vehicle Number : MH 02 BG 1365
Chasis Number : WVWD0834C48A00675
Engine Number : BKP 299214
Dealer Sold : GMS Motors P Ltd, (Presidential Cars) Mumbai
Location of Dealer : Worli Mumbai
Name of Purchaser : Rajesh Ahuja,
Date of Purchase : 23 June 2008
The above captioned vehicle has experienced lots of problems including en-route Engine Failure and the Engine failure is the second time in a row within the last 30 days.
For your information, first time the vehicle experienced engine failure on Mumbai Pune Express way on 21 Feb 2011 and the vehicle was toed down to your Pune Servicing Centre at Volkswagen Pune, Vidyut Motors P Ltd, Pune 411 005(Refer Job card Number[protected].
Due to non availability of Imported parts as per report of Dealer, it took M/s Volkswagen Pune, Vidyut Motors P ltd approximately 25 days to get the vehicle and handed over on 16 Mar 2011 (See the attachment of Dealers tax Invoice)
Again, with in a period of 5 days (five) days, second time vehicle has reported heavy Black smoke, with engine making very noisy with a complete break down on 22 Mar 2011 and again the vehicle was toed down to KSM Motors P Ltd, Nerul on 22 Mar 2011 who is also not in a position to identify the cause of the problem of Engine failure on the road.(see the attachment of Dealers Repair order sheet) Again, the Dealer has not able to give neither any date as to when he can repair the vehicle nor any assurance that after such repair that the vehicle would be reliable on ROAD for comfortable use.
We can not afford to have unreliability on road for paying hefty sum to get this vehicle for our use
From the inception time, the vehicle repeated complaints were made that the coolants & Gear oil were put up after every two days though there was no leakage from the car and no one including the service centre were not able to identify since the beginning o[censored]sing this vehicle though repeated complaints were made to the dealers including Down Town, Volkswagen (Shaman Cars P Ltd) Lalbagh, Mumbai
Above all, further horrifying experience is that while buying the vehicle that the undersigned was assured that the Volkswagen India Assistance is 24X7, Anytime, Anywhere highlighting the few of the following:
Travel and accommodation due to mobilization
Companions Travel assistance
Replacement of Car for upto 48hours (car rental included)
Transportation of Luggage and personal effects
To our surprise that Volkswagen Even charged for Road side assistance in their dealer bill of Vidyut Motors P Ltd Pune for a sum of Rs. 15594 vide Invoice Number March /4508/10-11 dated 16 Mar 2011.
Neither any replacement car was provided nor any such assistance above were extended as they were all only in the “Promises list of Volkswagen India” to customers both in website and at the time of buying vehicle.
The problem of engine failure has repeated with in five days from the date of replacing the crucial engine parts ( like Part Number 03G1300738 Pumb 4 numbers, Adapter, Screw Cheese HD, Rocker Bolt etc )clearly reflect that the vehicle has inherent manufacturing defects beyond the capacity of repair by ordinary prudence necessitating that the vehicle should be recalled for the manufacturing defect by providing us with a replacement of a NEW VEHICLE is the least is expected from Volkswagen to alleviate the mental and physical sufferings sustained by me as a customer after choosing such an impeccable quality assured German Excellence Vehicle.
For your information, the undersigned as a businessman along with my family is using Toyoto and SKODA vehicles which has never given any such problems atleast for first four to five years of purchasing vehicle and on the contrary, it is to my disappointment after coughing up a huge sum of money for this German Engineering Excellence vehicle Volkswagen was a sheer unpleasant experience
Look forward to your immediate assistance and confirm having registered this complaint with Mr. Noorul also on your India Helpline,[protected] as well spoken to Altaf, Head of Customer Care, Volkswagen India today
Thanking you in anticipation that you will replace with a new Passat Vehicle, failing which I have unfortunately no alternative except to take it to appropriate legal remedial measures including approaching the Consumer Redressal Forum, which hopefully you will not permit me to do so.
Yours faithfully
Rajesh T Ahuja
