Maruti Esteem
Attery problem

Hi,
i had purchased a maruti esteem dated 22/11 and had being giving my vehicle the regular service menton on the manual. Today as i was getting ready to leave for my office to my disbelief my car won't start, tried to start once again but in vain. Then i had it push start still the car did'nt respond. later on i changed the esteem battery with my maruti 800 battery and i a single self it started.
Now on taking this matter to my nearest dealer (B.M. Autolink) they said that the time period is overand that we will just recharge it and if it works then fine other wise you need to change the battery. But since normally exide batteries have a waranty of 18 month's or so; then i that case why can't my battery be changed as i would consider the date of purchase.
It was a dream of mine to own a maruti esteem and even though i came to know that the model is going to be discontinue i still took the stand of buying this car. But today i feel that i hae made a really great mistake as i don't feel comfortable ridign the vehicle with all soughtsof noise coming out of the vehicle (the glasses are loose, some bad noise from the rear of vehicle tried to check it but cld not get, even asked the service plp to but still when i drive the car the sound comes out some time.
Though i fully won't blame the service provider (B.M. Autolink) but it makes me feel that even they feel like this car (esteem) is outdated.
Though my first service was with the City Car Care and it was really a bad experience they had not done anything and later came to know that since my car had not beign used much (Kms wise) so they jus washed and gave back to me and did not heed to my request of doing the service later (i.e Kms wise)
I don't know hw much you could make out from this what i have written, but i know that the thought of my dream car esteem make me feel uncomfortable.
The ATUL MOTORS PVT LTD-RAJKOT has provided me with a car that they must have found difficult to sale as all sought's of problems are well from the begining. They hav'nt even given me the battery warranty card. They had given me a wrong registration no. in the begining i.e instead of 8075 i was given 8507 which i used for a couple of week and later on after getting my registration book i came to know its not 8507 but 8057 and on asking the atul motor (gandhidham office) people they simply let the things go loose... its jus a example of what your dealer do to make the company " MARUTI UDYOG" proud..
Kindly let me know what i can do with the battery problem
