Final Words: Need to improve on engine quality 

 

Areas of improvement : 

Bought the T8 manual white in April end 2016 after 4 months wait. Drove the vehicle in city for 1500 KM and in traffic one day black smoke came out of engine and gears did not work for some time, I stopped the car to side, waited it to cool down and went home somehow. Next day I sent the vehicle to their service center, they kept it for one day and said nothing wrong with the vehicle, they have instructed me not to drive in 2nd gear and not use clutch so much. Not sure how can we drive not using 2nd gear and clutch in traffic. Drove another 500 km, finally it broke down near necklace road middle of big junction. Engine is running but unable to change gear. It was a big traffic jam everyone honking from behind, traffic police by my side somehow pulled the vehicle to side, waited for 3 hours for the towing company tow the vehicle to service center. Next the service person called and told clutch plates are gone and will be replaced free of cost. Took two days and said the parts were replaced. The vehicle is back but now I feel kicks when I change gears, it is not at all smooth. I have complained again that problem is not resolved. On top this I am getting mileage 7.9 km per liter with econ a/c on in city driving. Service person told it was due to clutch and now that it was replace I will get better mileage. The vehicle is yet to be picked up tomorrow. I spoke to sales manager about returning the vehicle with so many problems, but he says he has never heard any technical problem so far about TUV300 and he is able to see 25 cars per week and was asking me to call other buyers to check how the vehicle is running. I have no time for that, asked him to either fix or replace.  My family is hesitant to go on this car for long rides with such a bad experience. Will keep you posted. Vijay 9052264000
