Kia india - Sold a defective Car to me

D Madhu Sudhana Reddy filed complaint against Kia india on Jan 14, 2022

Fatal Engine Mount Breakage of my Car on January *st near a Speed breaker on Tirupati-Chennai High way, with a close save from a deadly collision. The Car has been towed to “Hoshi kia Auto Pvt Ltd” Tirupati. Preliminary Diagnosis from the Service center says Driver shaft and C-mount got dislocated along with A-mount (engine bed) breakage.

Engine dislocation on a meagre bump is something unusual and I consider this as a serious Manufacturing lapse. Engine bed should be the hardest and elevated part to get an impact.

Same thing sent a mail to KIA Care but no reply from KIA care.
After * day Hoshi Kia has sent a mail as below.

I am not satisfied with the reply from Hoshi Kia and called to KIA care ( **** *** ****) again to take appropriate action for the damage what happened to my car.
I got fed-up with KIA care reply and I travelled all the way from Chennai to Tirupati visited Hoshi KIA on **th January **** without any intimation.
Requested those guys to show my vehicle.
After through inspection I don't find Any SCRATCHES under the body.
I asked them there is no scratches and why you sent a mail stating that there is a scratches.

For that there is no reply and the agreed to repair the vehicle under dealer good-will fund.
And I demanded them to send a mail stating that there is no scratches under the body, but they are sending it so I took photos and videos of the vehicle and asked them to repair it.

From Jan *st vehicle is at Hoshi KIA Tirupati.
Provided wrong information to me stating that there are scratches under the body.
because of that wrong information I have travelled from Chennai to Tirupati by taking leave to my office.
