Hi. We are working on all alternatives. Will keep you posted soon.

Hi Harish,

I went throught your tale. Its really sad to know that your being literally robbed. Hats off to your honest attempt to go against a large company.

I felt that only way we can handle this is by going to media. Why dont you proceed to write a book compiling your experience in dealing with this case so far naming the book as "Volume 1 of so and so.." and you could work on volume 2 and 3 when the case moves from high court to Supreme court in about "a decades" time.

I am sure our dear T-BHPiens will help in editing and reviewing before a formal release of the book. On my side, I will, at least buy 10 copies of the book to gift to my friends making sure none of us would ever buy Skoda. Use the proceeds from the book to fight your case.

You could distribute a free copies to the book to few Skoda bell weathers.

My 2 cents!

PS: The company would definately try to move the case as long as possible to nullify the effect of the case in the public eyes.

This is what I experienced (a very bad one) with skoda. NEVER BUY A SKODA

I haven't read this whole forum but I think you should ask all the Auto Magazines and media people to go through this forum and then wright articles on this so that people should know how bad is Skoda's after sales service.

The Skoda management deserves to be publically tried, lynched and hung for the pain and the bad spirit they have injected into the indian automotive market.
Ironically their punchline 'Obsessed with quality' sounds more like an oxymoron. Never heard of a more practical one!

A good candidate for this thread

may be we can send mails to friends and so on. like Tommy Hilfiger (even though it was a fake news). By this most of the people would be aware of the issue!!!

Thank MODS for doing the needful and getting the Skoda removed from headers.

[Gaurav Mathur]

Here is another horror story of the pathetic Product and Service given by Skoda. Skoda shuld really be ashamed of taking the Customers for a ride and not even feeling a bit guilty about it.
I have purchased a Skoda Fabia Elegance 1.4 MPI around one year back, and within 10 days of the Purchase, the Engine had started Stalling. I had immediately complained to the Skoda Customer Care Sudhir Srinivas, as the Engine has stalled more than 10 times on the highway, and poses a great threat of physical injuries to me and my family.
Inspite of repeated complaints to Skoda for the past one Year, there has been NO Action from them. Their Customer Service to describe in one word is 'pathetic'. The Skoda technical people have inspected the Vehicle more than 10 times in the past one Year and assured me that the problem is rectified, but the Engine has Stalled every single time after their inspection. This car has caused me more mental tension and risk of serious injury, instead of any driving pleasure, and that too with one of their premium models. We have paid a lot of money to Skoda for their brnd name, and all they do is treat the Customers so shabbily. . I have never seen such poor service from any other Car Manufacturer. Skoda is the most ir-responsible car maker we have ever come across. I feel it has been the biggest mistake of my life to trust Skoda brand.
On top of all these troubles, their Dealer in Dehradun Oberoi Auto, committed total fraud by replacing a damaged Bonnet in our Car and claiming full money for it as for a new bonnet. When we confronted them, they simply apologized and said they will replace the new one.I think Skoda Customer Care is hand in glove with their dealers to commit such frauds, if they can carry it off. The entire Skoda Customer care in India seems like a bunch of Frauds and Cheaters.
I am so much fed up of Skoda that I am ready to file a Court Case against them. Skoda shuld be taught a lesson for cheating the customers.
Can anyone in the Team BHP help me find some media contacts where I can highlight the troubles I am facing at the hands of Skoda. I am ready to join anyone for Court case against Skoda, I am already in touch with a lawyer, but if we go against them as a group will be better.
Would appreciate any media contacts to bring out the troubles I have faced from Skoda in the past one Year.

Sorry to hear about your experience, Gaurav. On my way to your thread to comment.

[wanderernomad]

So the skeletons keep tumbling out.
@Harish: Hang on in there. I also feel that courts are not sensitive to the finer aspects of natural justice as in some other countries.

Can team bhp not organise a small protest every week in front of the skoda head office for 30 minutes. Members can volunteer and join in as per their convinience.

[superbhikari]

Gaurav, i suggest you to e-mail Skoda officials ASAP and be prepared to a long fight. Don't wait for anyone to join you. File a case against them for sure in the consumer court if the response from the top officials is again the same.

[diffsoft]

Gaurav:

I would like you to push for what you think is right. Believe me, my personal experience and Harish / Evo's with Skoda tells me they can be nastier / dirtier than you think!

Be prepared and get ready for a long haul (though I wish it turns out much shorter)

Cheers,

[harishv]

Hey Gaurav

We are all with you. Skoda cannot keep playing with each and every one, and get away with it.

We are waiting for Skoda to act. We have waited for a month. Looks like they are testing our patience.

Do not worry. Justice will be delivered.
