Dear All, Thank you for all the kind words. That made all the effort worthwhile.
Here's my analysis of all the data:
- Total 177 issues reported by 35 owners. That means average 5.06 issues reported by each owner.
- 68 - sort of unique issues. 32 unique issues with more than one occurance. The remaining 36 unique issues are faced by only one owner each (so could be one-off).
- 21 owners (out of 35) faced some or the other issues with the infotainment system.
- 17 owners not very happy with the brakes because of the noise and/or the braking effectiveness.
- 17 owners not very happy with the steering/wheels because of alignment, leakage and noise issues.
- 16 owners had some or other sensor malfunctioning (Security alarm and TPMS warning going off w/o reason have been most common).
- Only 1 or 2 complaining about the engine responsiveness and the mileage
- Around 10 owners complaining about rattles
- Umpteen number of brake-pads have been replaced. 1 clutch assembly, 1 right front suspension, 1 transaxle, 1 thermostat, 1 water-pump, a couple of speakers, a couple of steering racks, a couple of headlight units, 2-3 tyres and multiple nippon units have been replaced.
- At least 7-8 newer versions of the infortainment system s/w have been released.
- A couple of instances of vehicle refusing to start temporarily.
- No full-blown breakdowns reported by any TBHPians, but multiple sightings of XUVs on flatbed-towtrucks. One unconfirmed report about a enire wheel coming off.
- Only around 20 issues (out of 177) have been satisfactorily resolved. At the same time, most owners are happy with the responsiveness from M&M and A.S.S. Request owners to update any resolved issues at the earliest.
