GTO,

Amazing article. Just what i was looking for. I am at stage one currently with Maruti Udyog for my complaints for last one year with my Alto.

I have visited every service centre in bangalore to get the problem sorted out but to no avail. They have replaced a few parts under warranty like the whole clutch assembly on a car with 6k kms on the odo.

The car is under warranty for another 2 yrs but i am really fed up that noone has been able to diagnose the problem and rectify it.

I then went and approached MUL directly via email. After that they have got in touch with the dealer where i purchased the car. The dealer wants me to come with the car again to diagnose. I have already been to him and he has given me a load of rubbish that the car is like that only as the alto is underpowered even more so with the aircon on.

I am refusing to go to him again and have told MUL to sort it out directly and not through the dealer here, or replace my car as i am afraid of the costs i may have to incur after the warranty period.

lets see what happens. This articles comes at a perfect time. Thanks.
