Hi,

Further to my telecon discussion on 14th feb with Sam and BIndu regarding my vehicle bearing registration no. KL35B 2555, this is my official notification to inform you that my car has again broken down yesterday 14/02. As you people suggested, I am not going to give my car for repair anymore. I have a lot of work other than this and I can trust any local roadside garage but not Ford India or Kairali Ford anymore. My car is going to be displayed for public in two days with all supporting documents. Thank you for not giving any support so far.

Regards

Ramesh Joseph

We once again wish to bring to your kind notice that there was no inherent defect in the vehicle. Its noteworthy that the vehicle stalling issue could not be reproduced /replicated during the inspection/road test carried out at the dealership, however as a proactive measure an improvisation on the performance parameter of the vehicle was carried out, an extensive road test was also carried out to ensure the performance parameters of the vehicle and to rule out the possibility of any abnormality.

We kindly request you to fix up an appointment with our dealership and to understand the concern better as well request you to demonstrate the said concern in your vehicle, we also kindly request you to intimate us through an email with regard to the appointment which would enable us to co-ordinate.

Hi Reshma,

Thanks for your mail. There was numerous appointments I had with your dealership people in kottayam and ernakulam and also people from Ford Chennai. What you people think. Do you think I have no other work other than running behind your people and my car. I have clearly explained to your people, what I need. And don't ask somebody to call me and say there was no fault with my car. I don't simply listen to that scrap.

Now, i am going to let others know what is happening with my car. We have a small network here, so at least a couple of people will come to know about my Ford Figo and it's history. Don't worry I will be updating you people a swell.

It's for Sam

&&&&&

I have asked you for a clear service history for my car not a story. Can't you provide me a accurate one..? What you gave me is scrap. I thought you have a system for that. I can get better one's from local roadside garage. Send me the real one because I need to match that with my bills. Hope you can understand.

Regards

Ramesh Joseph

Hi Reshma,

Thank you for your response. Well, as we discussed while you called me today morning, I won't be able to give my car for repair anymore. You know it's been repaired so many times. I have told you clearly that I don't want to take anymore chance because your people from Ford (Mr. Arunagiri and your technician) inspected my car and certified that the car was 100% fit. You know what happened then. So there is no options for you apart form replacing my car because I am no more gonna risk my life and also others. I thought being in that responsible position he (Mr. Arunagiri) should have a minimum common sense.

Now let me tell you clearly, I can wait till Tuesday (07/02). I would appreciate if you people settle this issue without further complications. Do let me know.

Regards

Remesh Joseph

Dear Mr. Abesheik,

This mail is in continuation to my earlier correspondence (dated on 29/01) regarding my vehicle bearing registration number KL35B2555. They have collected my vehicle on monday 30th jan and returned it on the next day evening. Today morning (01/02) when i took my vehicle the same fault was repeated. Then i left my car with kairali kottayam and they again repaired it and delivered back to me in the evening.

Now let me come to the matter, i am really fed up with this car and i don't want to continue with this either. If you people can't solve this issue then i will be forced to sort it on my own. I would appreciate if you could solve this in a professional way. Let me know whether you will be able to settle this issue.

Hi Mr. Abesheik,

Hope you remember me, This mail is in continuation to our earlier correspondence regarding my vehicle bearing registration number KL35B2555.

Your people inspected my vehicle on 04/01 and certified that my car is in perfect condition. Believing that I took my car back and started using it. After 2 days the break noise started again and also on 19th jan my car shut off twice while I was driving. I spoke to Mr. Sam and I met him in Ernakulam (same day) and he requested me to leave the car with him on the next day (20/01). I did that. It was there till Tuesday (24/01). On Tuesday he said that they updated some programme in my car and there won't be any more engine shut off. The same time he agreed that the break issue is not been cleared. Again I took the delivery.

Now let me come to the matter. Yesterday (28/01) morning when I took the car, there was a heavy noise and some high pressured leak near to the engine. I realised that this is the same fault which I had it in a month ago. I had a repair for this same fault in Kairali kottayam. They told me that they replaced all that. Now it is repeated again in a period of 4000km.

Yesterday I spoke to Mr. Sam agin, he told me that he will arrange a pick up on monday and they will repair it. This is all fine. Let me ask you something as a customer, what you want me to do? I am really fed up of using your car. I have a lot of work other than running behind my car and you people. I used to rent car whenever it goes for repair. Who will pay for that money and also my time.

And also I have a faulty head lamps which I have showed Mr. Sam. He agreed that. Again I am going to change the third Batch of tyres now. In 44000 kilometres I am going to change the third batch of tyres now. Do you think its reasonable? Let me tell you, this car is a total loss for me. As a gentleman I have suffered so much. Now this is the high time

I appreciate if you people give me a decent solution for this.

We are also given to understand that the vehicle was delivered to your goodself by our dealership post validating the parameters. We request you to drive the vehicle with complete confidence on the product and provide us your valuable feedback. We regret for the inconvenience caused to you.

Hi Mr. Boneham,

I have logged a complaint on 20th dec for my Ford Figo (Reg No. KL35B 2555) and the complaint ref Number is 800014248. On the following day i spoke to Swapna in Chennai and she said someone from Kirali Ernakulam will speak to me. But no one contacted meThen i tried to call Swapna twice and left my contact details and asked her to call me but didnt happen that day. Then i spoke to Mr. Arunagiri on 27th Dec and he said that he will meet me with Mr. Sam (from Kairali Ernakulam) on 30th dec and check the car. On 30th dec i met him in kottayam and he promised me that he will send a technician from chennai and they collect my car and give me replacement car for time being to manage and then rectify my car issues. Yesterday 4th january i got a call from Mr. Elias (service manager Kairali kottayam) and he told me that the technician is on his way from the airport without even informing me prior. Even though i managed and asked them to collect my car without a replacement car. Then today morning i called the manager and asked about my replacement car and he said my car is ready and they could n't find any fault in it.

Now Let me brief you about the real fault.

1) There is a fault with the break system. There is a heavy grinding noise while applying the break. It started from 3000 kilometer. They changed everything and still there. I left my car with kairali in kottayam and ernakulam but invain. Now it is nearly 42000 kilometers.

2) The engine shut off while i drive. It started say 6 months ago and i left my car with kairali kottayam and they couldn't find anything. after that the same thing is happening again. Last time i was driving down the a hill station the engine went off and it was a narrow escape because the break and the power steering didnt work. its a risk of driving this car now.

when i met all the above people, i told them clearly that the engine shuts off anytime and there is not any particaular timing or intervals for that. Today morning i spoke to the technician from chennai and he told me that he drove my car for around 30 kilometers yesterday and couldn't find anything wrong in there. It is not that it will happen when we expect to happen. And My car was taken and repaired arround 18 to 20 times in 1.5 years.

Finally, i am not going to take my car from Kairali, kottayam, unless until its been repaired and convinced me that its in a perfect condition.

If you people can't solve this then i will be forced to take this legally and there are so many people lined up here with the same issues. Hope you can understand that.

Regards

Remesh Joseph
