VW IS A CHEAT & FRAUD
I bought a brand new VW passat 2.0 TDI on 26th jan 2010 and the car broke down on 30th jan 2010 on only driving 400 kms due to failure of a faulty part (Engine Control Module). The car was not starting and VW took 15 days to replace that faulty part but were not ready to replace the car. The same car broke down again severely in 2 months due to failure of another part ( Gear lever). Now the company does not want to refund the money or replace the car, instead they offer us to buy back at 18.5 lacs from us for which i paid 27 lacs, wihtout any compensation for all the harrassment and lossess incurred!!!

PLEASE DO NOT BUY VW PASSAT CARS AT all! Its a shame for such a brand to keep breaking down a brand new vehicle! shame shame shame!!!

This is with reference to my car service whose details are as under –

Vehicle Number – KA – 05 – MJ – 9962
Vehicle Model – Volkswagen Vento
Place – Bangalore – India
Purchase from: Elite Motor Bangalore. India

This is to inform you that I had firstly given my above stated vehicle for service on 17th January 2013 to Elite Motor Volkswagen service center for complaints pertaining to Air Conditioner / Clutch & Break issues & Water leakage problems FROM WINDOW (DAY ONE PROBLEM) , wherein after 3 days the car was returned back to me in the same condition without any of the above stated complaints being rectified & resolved. On receipt of vehicle when I contacted M/s Elite Motors (Volkswagen Service Centre) as usual their careless attitude showed up with o response to calls primarily & later once after speaking to one of the executive there no proper explanation or justification was provided from their end, herewith the mail I’m enlisting the people with their contact numbers mentioned below to whom I have personally spoken –.

1) Land line at office 080 4280 8000, 42808001, 080 4208099. ( No one their to pick up phone and answer
2) Mr Disoza kaise 0********75 ( He will not pick up phone or answer call )
3) Mr Natraj 0********88 ( Same issue )
4) Ms Radha GM.. 0********74
5) Service Head Mr Ramdas ( Not available any time )

PLEASE CAN CALL AND TRAY FROM YOUR END ALSO TO SEE RESULT .

Again I sent the vehicle for service on 20th February 2013 but till date there is no response & the careless attitude speaks up for the rest wherein inspite of talking to the higher authorities they are least interested in the customers problems that are being faced due to this reckless service due to which I have been paying Rs.3500 on daily basis for taxi which is mentioned herewith for your information.

I regret today for having purchased a hopeless company’s car wherein they speak & boast a lot but delivery & point of action is a BIG ZERO, wherein we have to wait for hours & hours together for the delivery of our vehicle & minimum they keep the vehicle for 7 days of service which is not the case with any of your competitor companies!!!!

I will definitely speak about all the mental trauma & harassment that I have been facing & faced not only to my near & dear ones but also the media to warn the innocent people NOT TO GET TRICKED & FOOLED BY THE LUCRATIVE OUTER PICTURE BUT WILL SHOW THEM THE REAL INNER PICTURE .

I support this complaint. I had very bad experience with VW service . No body bother about your complaint and no any reply from service dept. Very Very poor Service and attention !!!....please dont buy any VW Car.....you will land up with big problem !!!!!!

Forget about the dealer, Had written to Vw on their website form, asking for the servicing details and price of Petrol Polo...no reply till date, all the dealers in delhi are Frauds and cheats. VW sucks

Had bought VW Vento Highline Diesel from Delhi based dealer.‎
‎1.‎ Dealer tried to deliver car without PDI. ‎
‎2.‎ On objection car sent back to PDI but just formality. As no PDI had been done or partial PDI car ‎engine chamber under hood was full of dust hence sent car again back for PDI. ‎
‎3.‎ After second PDI still there was issues like rare power window was not working and car sent ‎back third time for PDI same day.‎
‎4.‎ After third PDI found the Coolant level is below minimum. It was told by dealer staff that its ‎VW strategy to deliver car at minimum Coolant level hence will not top-up.‎
Apart from above when compared with other Vento Highline Diesel found ‎
‎1.‎ Chrome on steering wheel accent & handbrake lever gearshift is missed. These components ‎without chrome comes with TrendVW line car.‎
‎2.‎ Genuine leather wrapped steering wheel, gearshift knob, handbrake lever is missed.‎

Be careful if going to by any VW Car.‎

I bought a VW polo Trendline TDI in Feb 11. In few days time I found most of the vertical louvers of the AC vents being mis aligned. When I took up this with the dealer, they advised me for an replacement for Approx 6K. As per them the plastic parts are not having any warranty. When I asked them what happens if the replaced part also mal function, then I was told that the replaced ones will have 2 years warranty..... Funny...is int it ?? I wonder what VW (or its dealers) think about the Indian consumer?..

I support this complaint. I have VW Polo and the oil chamber broke when going through a speed beaker. Replaced and then a new problem came in the engine. VW is asking for 2 lacs and the car is with them for past 2 months. I think I have to move to consumer complaints forum.
