Case History (HR 51 AJ 8820)
This is in regard to the inconvenience, loss and harassment I am facing due to the Hyndai Authorized dealer named Himgiri in New Delhi, India. I bought my Hyundai Accent Car under the registration number HR 51 AJ 8820 on August 12. This car I bought with Dealer fitted CNG for which they charged 45, 000 rupees. After a month car met with accident damaging the right side door and the car bumper. There wasn’t any damage to the engine. It was completely body damage. Himgiri took one month to service it reasoning out parts are not available they are in transition. Post delivery I could notice that my JBL speaker was washed out and wasn’t responding although I explicitly conveyed them to take care of the front speakers. I got them verified from the Audio System Dealer I purchased from and they said company (JBL) will not replace as they are washed out in water. So there I incurred loss of 5000 rupees. I conveyed this thing to the workshop manager Rakesh but he did not bother to hear that.
Thereafter I escaped major accident due to continuing CNG missing problems. It became the regular practice that point of time that my car was at their workshop on every weekend due to the CNG missing issue. Rakesh promises me that he personally took the rectification of the problem under his supervision but the result wasn’t as promisable as his wordings. This problem continued for months and thereafter when I warn them about lodging the case against them due to the loss and the inconvenience and to the most risk of life then kept my car for 1 day and it was then rectified. The number of visits would have been near about 10-15 times that point of time.
After some time I could realize that there is some problem with the breaks. The car wheels are running smooth and the excel became a hit tight. So I could realize that something is touching the wheel as the rotation was not smooth. I got it checked with Himgiri and get to know that break shoes was touching the wheel and due to which I had to get them replaced with the new one for which they charged me 2500 bugs approx But I was not convinced with the fact that at merely 14000 kms my Car break shoes was replaced and due to the reason it was touching the wheel. I asked them the root cause of break shoe touching the wheel so they weren’t answerable and reasoned out that you need to get it replaced. So I could notice another flaw in their fitting post accident which resulted in a loss of money to me.
On that day itself I saw them Hand break lever slipping cause of which I could not park my car with hand break on I have to park it with car geared. I asked them to replace it as it is under warranty to which Mr. Rakesh said it is not in the stock and will be available very soon. He made some temporary arrangement to fix that hand break issue. But as expected his fix did not worked out and again I asked about the availability of the hand break in their stock past 15 days so the status that time was not available in the stock.
Moving ahead Car started missing on petrol. It is in the period of May (past 9 months from my purchase) I could not start my car on petrol. I reported this issue and I also reported that there is some noise I m hearing from the car while driving. They sent some technician at my office so that I can show the problem. The car did not started so he assured me that he will fix this issue. I also told Mr. Rakesh about the sound I could hear while driving. My observation was that when this sounds is heard the car runs as if the engine is overloaded and when it goes off the engine picks up immediately. This problem I noticed while the Car AC is on and this voice goes on & off while driving with AC on. I showed this problem to another Hyndai dealer named FX in Faridabad but they said you need to visit to your dealer as the CNG kit is being installed by them and we won’t be fixing it. Left with no choice I had to call Mr Rakesh to fix this missing on start issue. Mr. Rakesh me again delivered the car with petrol missing issue fixed and assured me that it won’t be occurring again. I had to rely on his words as there was no option.
Past 15 days the same issue (Car not starting on petrol) recurred. Again Mr. Rakesh asked me to hand over the car to him for 1 day. I allowed so and they kept my car for 1 day at their workshop and delivered me the car. They reported that we have taken the test drive which they perform as a part of their procedure and the missing issue is not reproducible. They handed over my vehicle to me with this missing issue fixed but still hand break and that noise issue was not resolved. After driving for another 10-15 days the same problem recurred. This time I get Mr. Pankaj (HMIL) involved and have asked him to get this issue verified at HMIL workshop as Himgiri is not able to rectify the problem. I explained him the complete history of my car and the inconvenience, life risk and the money loss I have faced due to Himgiri in 9 months. The case is still pending as Mr. Pankaj wants me to again get my car repaired under the supervision of Himgiri at their Wazirpur center to which I am reluctant. On each visit I had to shell money for filling extra petrol so that there isn’t any issue while repairing. This is also an extra expenditure to me.
