Faulty ca

Fiat Palio Stile March'08. Clutch replaced at 1st servicing as car came with hard clutch and part was not available. Front Brake Disc's within 6 months (4000 kms) because of juddering. both problems still exsist. 18 months (last month of warranty) steering rack got spoilt and was replaced (8000kms.). Car was delivered with some noise in front suspension. It was given for 4th servicing and to solve above problems and noisy door, hand brake and front suspension noise. It was delivered next day, but not one problem was solved. I left next day for work to a place called Belgaum 160 kms from Goa. At 150 kms the power steering became hard. A pipe had burst. I got it replaced the next day, but within 15kms it got hard again. I called goa service station, they asked me to drive down slowly. Next day I took the car to the service station. It took 15 days. They replaced the pipes, belt, power steering pump and front right side lower arm (suspension noise). All this cost me 9, 500/=. But some noise is still coming from front and power steering pump is making noise, oil is heating to 79 degrees and circulating like whirlpool in the power steering oil container, unlike other cars. They have asked me to drive and come back if there is a problem. What if the pipe bursts again due to over heating or whatever. Belgaum was the 1st long trip after rack replacement. I think they did something wrong for which I had to pay and even now I am suffering. I emailed many times to tata/fiat people and the owner of showroom & service station Auto Industry, but not a single reply. I then tried Fiat international. I got a mail and call the next day and they are now trying to acquire data of the same from their sources.
