Automobiles complaints, vehicle complaints in India

Automobiles Complaints

Automobile or car remains one of the easiest modes of transportation. There has always been a debate about the invention of automobile as some people think that automobiles has made people lazier whereas the other half thinks that it has made life easy. According to a recent survey, there are a total number of 1.2 Billion vehicles in the world which clearly states people generally see it as a boon. People generally purchase cars over other vehicles as it is convenient and an easy way of transportation. The leading automobile companies in India include Tata Motors, Mahindra Ltd, Maruti Suzuki, Bajaj etc. The common problems an individual faces after buying an automobile include worn out tires, registration issues, RC number not provided, damaged car supplied etc. So how can an individual file a vehicle complaint? First and foremost the consumer should try to contact their customer care number as they value customer feedback so they will try to resolve the complaint at this stage only. The customer care number of some of the leading automobile companies in India are :

Tata Motors Customer Care India - 022-62407101
Mahindra & Mahindra Customer Care India – 1800 209 6006
Maruti Suzuki Customer Care India – 1800 102 1800
Hero MotoCorp Customer Care India – 1800 266 0018
Bajaj Auto Customer Care India – 7219821111
Toyota Customer Care India – 1800 425 0001
Chevrolet Customer Care India – 1800 3000 8080
Mitsubushi Motors Customer Care Number – 1800 102 2955
Honda Motors Company Ltd. Customer Care Number – 1800 708 6555
Ford Motor Company Customer Care Number – 1800 419 2500

However, in some cases it has been seen that the Automobile companies refuses to cooperate with the customer specially in cases such as Car damage during service center, engine leakage, battery issue, car warranty etc. So how can a consumer file a complaint against automobile company in such cases? Firstly you should talk to the manager of the particular showroom and try to understand their case. If you feel that they are being reasonable you should try and settle the case. However, if you feel that they are totally at fault and are unwilling to offer any compensation you can file a complaint at your nearest police station. Apart from this you can file a case at your nearest consumer forum. We at Voxya help in approaching the consumer forum by preparing the case documents. Moreover, sending the legal notice can be another option as no company will want its name & reputation to be dragged in court so they will try to resolve the issue. We generally receive about 20 monthly automobile consumer complaints which include used car complaints, auto dealer complaints etc.
