OP posted his woes and how it can be treated as thrashing and even If I added an observed fact that ford manufactured cars are prone to rust
why this should be taken as assault by you.
For the record I own Tata , Maruti and GM manufactured Cars and I have absolutely no problem if any other owner vents out his / her grievances in a public forum.

Why not bring out all such examples by *ALL* manufacturers instead ? The purpose of Accessory/Parts review and ownership reports section on T-BHP is to discuss such issues. Why any one should play a moderator on behalf of their beloved brand ?

Who wouldnt want to have a trouble free car, all of us would but till there is one, such things will keep us going |
Cars do last rust free for more then a decade and if majority of cars being rusted in 4 / 5 years are from one manufacturer then there is definitely a quality issue.

We are questioning ford in this thread because it is about a ford , At other places we can discuss tata , maruti , GM , honda whatever if they treat customers badly. There is a thread dedicated to Honda cheating a customer and no one asks why only Honda and there are other threads for other manufacturers. Having said that lets come to the topic.
No.. naj mentioned his delima of choosing between devil and deep sea
The basic questions are
1.) why ford A.S.S should try to change the parts fully when they can be repaired and used. The Service adviser clearly stated ford believes in replacing instead of repairing. For me this translates to Ford believes in milking you forever.
2.) IF only few portions are rusted why should A.S.S try to replace full exhaust system ?
3.) Why the exhaust pipes which have no complicated components but steel pipes ( other then Catalytic convector which was not rusted/replaced in this case) be priced at 21,000 Rupees for a car which sells for 4+ Lakh rupees ( besides tax , insurance etc )
4.) Why the exhaust system should rust at all with in 4 years of manufacture.

There are a few more active threads which I don't want to quote for obvious reasons and I really feel bad for the vehicle owners.
But then no-one tries to throw brickbats at the manufacturer than try and sort out issues.
You never did and nor would someone heed to it. Consumers know their rights and the testimony is right here on t-bhp. Please read thru some of the threads.
Once again please try and help varunroy since you mentioned TATA Motors. |
First of all i am not a Tata spokesperson or apologist I am just a customer and I have absolutely no problem if people facing problems with Tata do indulge in negative publicity.
In fact I always advice people facing issue with any product to use their review as a tool to punish manufacturer.
" Jago Grahak Jago"
We all know woes faced by VarunRoy and because of his heroic efforts , Tata Moters A.S.S at least in bangalore are proactive.
Stinkers did not work for Varun but they worked for many others as reported on T-BHP may be it is aftereffect of Varun's fight and power of T-BHP.
who thinks that they should provide me best service and cars at cheapest possible price. As a Tata Moters customer if any other customer airs his problems the least I can do is not jump to defense of my beloved manufacturer and provide my support to a fellow customer in whatever forum, instead of admonishing him on how he can solve his problems in alternative manner.
I do expat that customers of other manufacturers should do the same.
