Re: Next Generation Maruti Suzuki Swift Dzire Launched

I booked my car on 1st of may( before the launch) so I am damn sure that they are definitely trying to sell me a defective car.
Dealership: TR Sawhney motors mohan nagar(it was the closest to my house)
So this means that the car is still not allotted to us or they are really trying to fool me here.
OK, so it was pre-booked. Now I am sure you are being fooled by dealer and there are chances that your unit might be defective. Allotting a car will not take 1.5 month.. In one line write mail to the GM of the dealership that you want to transfer your booking to another dealer as the AGM has been lying and fooling around with your booking. Don't write to Maruti Suzuki as probably you won't be replied promptly or maybe you'll just get a automated reply.

There are many like Rohan Motors, Vipul Motors, check for dealers in Kaushambi and Anand Vihar area.

So, how can I know that the car is not opened at the dealership?
In case the car is used, you may check the ODO, condition of Tyre and ABC Pedal. Check for scratches if any. Also, it could be possible you may get a display model from dealership. In that its a bit difficult to make out the imperfections if any but in my view best is to change your dealer.

PS: Delete a few messages from your PM box. You have exceeded the limit.

Re: Next Generation Maruti Suzuki Swift Dzire Launched

Dear All,
There is no verifiable source of the news that the new Dzire have faulty steering assembly. Yes i read the same in other blogs too, but who knows that someone might have deliberately created such news for their benefit.
Before any concrete proof why are we even speculating ?
And moreover recalls happen for all major manufacturers, it happens with all products of all stature. The more important thing is for the company to handle the issue maturely if it is present and be open about it. Till we get a confirmed source of the news we should not fan the fire !!!

Re: Next Generation Maruti Suzuki Swift Dzire Launched

Even I heard this from our local Maruti personal & If it is true then one should refrain buying the current model for some time so that they will get the new car steering unit fitted from factory not from the dealership/service centre as its a complex system and knowing the skills which most of the service engineer got.

And yes recalls happen for most of the car companies however for what the recall is, is the bigger question and who will change the steering unit and how capable that person is, is the question

Re: Next Generation Maruti Suzuki Swift Dzire Launched

New cars often have untested components as I found out with the Baleno. But if you wait, there will be a long waiting period. I suggest, play the waiting game to hedge the odds in your favour-

Assuming you dont need a car immediately, 1st cancel the booking from the dealer who is trying to con you. Then make a fresh booking with another. That way you end up at the back of the queue but it also means that you wait several months for the car. By the time the car gets allotted, user experiences of the Dzire will come in and you will be able to make an informed decision on whether to buy or not. Its also ensures that the manufacturer will have fixed all issues with the initial models. In the meantime, your existing car will depreciate but, since depreciation is a percentage of the current value, the loss of value wont be as pronounced. In any case, you will definately be able to save the difference over the time. With these hurried launches and new products being launched every few months, the ideal time to buy a new car seems to be about an year after the launch and you can schedule your booking accordingly.
On the other hand, if you been a car immediately, look at the other options. Case in point, I travelled in an Ertiga cab yesterday and noticed it is so much nicer than the Baleno in terms of seating comfort and ride quality. The Ertiga is effectively a 7 seater Swift and the interiors were similar. I know there are issues with the Ertiga petrol's FE and there may be other issues I am not aware of but, it did tick all the boxes in my book. Being a matured design, it is so much better than the new Baleno. I am not suggesting you go for the Ertiga, thats entirely your decision. Just posting my experience as an example in case it may be of any use to you.

Re: Next Generation Maruti Suzuki Swift Dzire Launched

Today my dealer confirmed me that their is a quality hold on currently produced batch, but is denying to tell that what is the reason of it. I think the reason is quite clear for us.
I don't have an option to cancel the booking as my current car is just a piece of steel, fully useless.
Also the dealer is saying me that he can deliver me a white one which I know will be defective.
So, what's the option for me.

Best option is to cancel the booking and book the car in August End. Since the issue happened in June and to the batches produced before June so it is likely that till July end and Early August too they would push the units which might or might not be rectified. It will be a gamble as of now and even next month to opt for already manufactured new Dzire. I suggest book and buy it in August end only as till then fresh batches will be produced too.

Like Akash said, it will be a gamble now. To be frank, I am not updated on what is wrong with the 1st batch of Dzires but I wouldnt suggest you to buy that batch anyway. Like I said, if the urgency is there, look at another car, say Ciaz or the Vitara Brezza or even an Ertiga

Buddy as quoted here and some other blog too, there is a steering assembly issue in 1st batch of Dzire that is being rectified by MSIL.

Re: Next Generation Maruti Suzuki Swift Dzire Launched

There is no concrete proof of the same, there is no recall mail to dealers from MSIL. seems to be a rumour/hoax to me. only one forum has the news of this and everybody else is quoting it. Also, all the manufactured unit till 9th june would have been dispatched by now. the production started today, so the new batch will have cars manufactured today onwards. from 27th again the plant will be shutdown because of GST.

Please refer to our member's interaction with his dealer

Today my dealer confirmed me that their is a quality hold on currently produced batch, but is denying to tell that what is the reason of it.
My uncle is out of station else I would have given a official confirmation on this by now. Also, if anyone can post a pic or two of the WIP for the replacement of the steering unit in new Dzire, it would be highly helpful.

Also, all the manufactured unit till 9th june would have been dispatched by now. the production started today, so the new batch will have cars manufactured today onwards. from 27th again the plant will be shutdown because of GST.
OK, I have few questions for you:

What about the already produced cars in plant?

What about those kept in dealer's stockyard?

Are the dealers officially informed not to pitch for sales of the defected units?

By when according to you the next batch of cars are expected to reach dealers?

Are dealers ready for creating inventory of defected models?

Is MSIL going to take back those defected models from Dealers?

What's the status of those defected units which are already running on roads?

Mate believe it or not my dealer told me that my car is not being dispatched because of a QUALITY HOLD. Now with this news coming up and my personal experience saying the same things​, I can't think of any other issue as of now. I know that a coincidence like this can't happen with many people (someone else also said the same thing)
But is purely up to you to believe it or not.

whats is the guarantee dealer is not bluffing again. Why there is no call to customers of already sold cars, if this is the case

please confirm with him once he is back
OK, I have few questions for you:
What about the already produced cars in plant?
as told earlier, the car were manufactured till 9th june, so they are already dispatched by now
What about those kept in dealer's stockyard?
Do you really think that dealer will have stock when the demand is huge and bookings are having a waiting period of 13-16 weeks. Also the waiting period of AGS has increased from 4-5 weeks to 8-10 weeks
Are the dealers officially informed not to pitch for sales of the defected units?
If this news indeed is true then dealers are already getting new steering assembly for the correction, are they sill defective?
By when according to you the next batch of cars are expected to reach dealers?
Plants run 24*7 in shifts, so units manufactured today will get allocated tomorrow onwards. Dealer in NCR may get them in next 3-4 days
Are dealers ready for creating inventory of defected models?
Nobody creates inventory as GST is on the head. If dealer gets a car he will try to sell it ASAP
Is MSIL going to take back those defected models from Dealers?
Have you ever heard of a recall where sold units are taken back. they are only rectified
What's the status of those defected units which are already running on roads?
You tell me this as you are the one believing in this news. I don't have single person saying that dealer has contacted them for any problem that needs rectification. My dealer has also confirmed me there is no recall mail from MSIL and there is no inventory with him as of now.

Mate believe it or not my dealer told me that my car is not being dispatched because of a QUALITY HOLD. Now with this news coming up and my personal experience saying the same things​, I can't think of any other issue as of now. I know that a coincidence like this can't happen with many people (someone else also said the same thing)
But is purely up to you to believe it or not.
So first dealer told you that you will get your car in 4-5 days, now he tells you that there is a quality hold. Plant was shut from 10th-18th june. Ask him when he got this news. What is the new time frame he has given you?

Best option is to cancel the booking and book the car in August End. Since the issue happened in June and to the batches produced before June so it is likely that till July end and Early August too they would push the units which might or might not be rectified. It will be a gamble as of now and even next month to opt for already manufactured new Dzire. I suggest book and buy it in August end only as till then fresh batches will be produced too.

What is the guarantee that there will be no further problem with cars manufactured in august-september. It is vicious circle. The best once can do is to the PDI correctly and leave certain things on its own.

Like Akash said, it will be a gamble now. To be frank, I am not updated on what is wrong with the 1st batch of Dzires but I wouldnt suggest you to buy that batch anyway. Like I said, if the urgency is there, look at another car, say Ciaz or the Vitara Brezza or even an Ertiga

Ameyam, anything can go wrong at any stage of lifecycle of a model. It is not always that the car will have problem at the time of launch. As you are aware that different OEM manufacture and supply parts and the car companies assembles them as the new stock/batch arrives. What if a supplier tells the car maker after 1 year of launch that a part which it manufactured in last 2 months is having some quality issues and needs to be replaced. Will you consider the people who bought it 6 months back to be lucky and the guy who bought it last month unlucky?
When there is no guarantee with any car model to be error free after a year of manufacture, same is the case with new launch but i tend to agree a little, the probability is higher with new models
