Please refer to our member's interaction with his dealer
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
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.
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
