Magazine/Mobile holder plastic below central arm rest.

Takes some genius to design that part which is going to get kicked by passengers sitting at the back!

1. 2012 VW Vento Highline Petrol - 38k on odo. Gearshifts are a pain last 3 years. VW service has changed 2 gear cables in 2020 and 2 in 2021, problem resolves for a few months and starts all over again. The gearshifts work normally for a while and randomly some shifts require a few tries before the gears slot. Hoping to fix during June service.

2. 2021 November Kia Carnival Limousine plus - 3.2k on odo - had installed a 360 degree camera setup through the dealer at time of purchase. Poor side visibility on 360 degree console. The installation of side cameras is at the base of the side view mirrors instead of outer edge of side view mirrors(like in seltos or other carnival 360 camera videos on yourube). Hope to get this fixed from the dealer in another month.

Mine will be one of the rarer posts with issues mentioned against a Toyota

I have a 2011 Liva, bought pre-owned in 2019. The current crop of issues are -

1. Sound from the steering rack during initial left/right turn. I went to an FNG recently to get new wiper blades, he told me that the steering rack needs to be replaced. Not sure if the issue is that bad, but quoted approximately 32k for the part.
2. Left and now right front suspension clunks. My assumption is the control arm bushes are worn out. This also causes slight wheel mis-alignment over a few thousand kms.
3. Volume control knob on the radio is loose almost never works (thankfully I have steering mounted controls)
4. Engine has always sounded a little too rough to me but haven't figured or noticed any serious issues so I don't bother

2 of these are major fixes which should have been done, but I am hoping to change my car in the next couple of months hence don't feel like spending the money to fix these.

If anybody wants a DL registered Liva in and around BLR as a beater/project car please hit me up

Hyundai Eon (2016-70,000 km)
Front and rear suspension needs overhauling,
Rear hatch hydraulic struts have failed,
Windshield crack at upper right corner
All issues will be closed at next service

TVS Scooty Pep (2008- 15000 km)
Engine seized. Will be scrapped

[sudeepg]

Car: Maruti Suzuki S-Cross DDiS 200
Age: Closing 7 years
Kms: 1,05,000 KMs

Issues:

1. Pre-Heat system failure. Have been replaced twice previously.
2. Steering wheel cover: Worn out.
3. Rattles as with any Maruti car.
4. Audio amplifier (aftermarket) failure.
5. Wiper blades (needs replacement every year)
6. Boot gas struts are weak

Replaced very recently:

1. Gear knob
2. Windshield (Front) due to stone hit.
3. Engine start/stop switch.

Other than these, it has been an extremely reliable car with the few modifications I have made.

2021 SCross - 10K Kms

Wiper Washer spray not working

Rattles - Squeaks - Rattles - Squeaks!

High Beam is out of Focus.

A small bit of the Roof Liner managed to come out of its position around the edge.

Driver side noodle mats ruined where you place the heel.

Sun film on the Driver side peeling off!

Not Broken but needs attention -

Dirt on the roof liner

Marutis not so sensible boot mat needs to be thrown out and replaced with some custom solution

That is longer than I thought it would be!

2010 Hyundai i10 Kappa 1.2L, done ~82000 KMS

Has largely been trouble free for all its life. Currently living with a few niggles:

1. Turn indicator does not auto-cancel now
2. Glovebox holder is broken on the right side so needs to be closed with some force. No problem otherwise
3. Interior light does not work when set to the "Door" setting, so does not light up inside when doors are opened

Everything else is great!

I am tired of reading this very interesting, and very quickly growing thread. I wish we could summarize with data. (Though I quickly figured out that VW has AC Vents and ABS sensor issues across its products.)

We should have something like Consumer Reports reliability ratings, flagging issues with particular manufacturers, models, etc.

May be some smart techie can scrape the data in this thread and create some easily understood charts and tables.

2015 Maruti Swift Zdi @129000 KMS.
Issues:
- Driver side window not working.
- Clutch overhaul, still running on stock clutch and the pick up has dropped considerably.
- Auto fold rear view mirrors doesn’t work on the right side and left side glass cannot be adjusted using the switch or knob.
- Suspension needs a complete overhaul.
- AC cooling not so efficient these days .
- Rattle sounds from back seats especially on bad roads is getting worse.
- A few body parts rusted.
- Headlights turned hazy.

What’s holding me to upgrade to a new car ?
- Having a vehicle without Emi and Inspired by GTO thread to keep vehicles for a minimum of 10 years.
Lastly, but not least exorbitant pricing of new cars and ever rising fuel costs.

2016 - Ford Figo BASE 1.5 D - ~1,33,000KM - Hazard button stopped working after ants filled it up. I have bought the replacement for 300 buck and will be replacing it during the next service. Lock is not openable with key from outside on the driver side. A whiff of chain spray must solve that. Battery is past the year mark and might need replacement, especially since I will be mounting two single pipe airhorns drawing over 300 watts each.

2017 Ameo - No issues.

[Miel]

2001 M800 : Almost dies mid-way on first crank attempt. Fires on the second . Battery is close to giving up or maybe starter motor trouble (?). Seat covers are two decades old and are barely hanging on. Door frame rubber beadings keep coming off.

2008 Tata Indigo CS DiCOR : The serpentine timing belt is squeaking madly on start up. Subsides in 10 secs. No other issues or tantrums, for now.

2011 Tata Vista Refresh Multijet : Wipers are jumping across the windshield, but the blades are new. Possibly the windshield has bodywax reside. Needs a thorough windshield clean maybe. Factory-fitted fabric seats have outlived their shine, but intact otherwise. Needs new seat covers. Everything else is perfect and rock-solid. That rare Tata!

2012 Toyota Etios : The fuel light has a mind of its own and comes on when it pleases so. Fuel filter is new. Fuel lines are clear and did a 6 hour highway run recently. No performance drop. Must be a sensor issue says the FNG. Rear middle passenger's seat belt button doesn't lock. Keyless locking remote has gone kaput. One of the headlamps are yellowing. Factory black paint on steel wheels have faded down to the brown primer (or is it metal?), almost.

Yep, too many aging seniors. Hunt for spanking new replacements are underway!

2016 Volvo V40 @35000 km - Left side ORVM doesn't auto fold sometimes and gets stuck partially folded. This happens roughly 1/5 times. Pressing the folding button fixes it afterwards.

2016 VW Polo GT TSi @40000 km - Broken central AC vents thanks to a driver i used for a few months when my wife was unable to drive.

[unknowntrainer]

2009 SX4 : Rear right door doesn't auto lock/unlock, need to open and close it from the inside everytime. Steering mounted audio controls don't work. The fuel filler cap release has a mind of its own and multiple scratches, dents, squeaks and rattles that come with 13 years of abuse. Yet it goes on and is still mechanically sound.
