I've just been through the whole thread and I am SHOCKED. I cannot imagine this happening to anyone in this day and age - SHAME on Tata Motors. I dont care whether or not their personnel were involved in ripping off the stickers and I dont care whether or not Tata Motors themselves were aware of the problems faced by this gentleman - NO MANUFACTURER CAN SELL A LEMON AS DESCRIBED IN THESE PAGES AND IF THEY DO THEY SHOULD BE DRAGGED TO THE COURTS AND PUBLICLY REPREMINDED, FINED AND THEIR LICENSE TO MANUFACTURE REVOKED. THAT ALONE IS CRIME ENOUGH - none of the other instances of neglect or high-handedness can be a bigger than that.
If this is true, I am ashamed of the country's largest 'indeginous manufacturer' and I hang my head in shame for the respect I have had for this organization in the past.
I have already forwarded this thread and links to the pictures to most of the people I know, and have included AutoCar India and BSM in a separate mail. We at Team BHP should ensure that those at fault for this criminal neglect are smoked out...an instance like this deserves a personal apology from Mr. Ratan Tata amongst other things, which would include the replacement of this vehicle with ANY vehicle of the owner's choice, substantial damages, a full investigation into Tata's manufacturing processes and a revocation of their manufacturing license for a period of at least 6 months or till they get their ducks in a row.
If it kills them as a manufacturer, SO BE IT. If this incident is true in its entirety, they are scum of the highest order.
