Faulty clutch design replaced with new design clutch

 

Have got the engine shutting off problem resolved from Maruti after chasing them for 6 months. This was due to the faulty clutch design of the car. I was shocked to understand from Maruti that swift & dzire diesel cars sold in 2008 & before have a faulty clutch by design. Due to this engine shuts off at any speed. The clutch has been re-designed by Maruti and fitted in later cars. But Maruti never did a recall of faulty vehicles to replace the faulty design clutch.

This was very bad. There is a high risk of accident due to this. I have driven the car for 50000 KMs with fault clutch and with high risk of life. So all those who are facing engine stalling problem, please get your clutch assembly checked and replace if its of faulty design. This can help to prevent any accidents. Please note, because of the faulty clutch design, engine halts at any speed when clutch is pressed, thus loosing the car control.
