Re: Tata Aria Pride - Zero Pride in Ownership Quote:

Whatever is written in this thread is clearly in the mails to Tata Motors. I wanted to support Indian Manufacturers as much as possible so my recommendations for Aria and Thar. But we still do not value what the customers really need. Peace of mind of ownership. Quote:

Fit & finish is not everything, reliability IT IS ! |
That has been my worry as well as these cars are driven exclusively on NH4 which is crowded most of the time. Same batch I believe as both orders were placed at same time Quote:

The problems we have been facing are;
1. USB isn't working properly since the first day of ownership. It stops and starts working on its own. (TATA replaced the whole HU but still the same problem persists)
2. The navigator starts acting funny on various occasions.
There are many more such small problems which have been shown to TATA time and again, but still they have given us no permanent solution for any one of them. Another problem is that there are constant rattling noises from the boot and dash even when the car is running on a smooth surface. No solution. Contrary to what many people believe, TATA does NOT treat its Aria 4x4 customers specially. Even when you are buying the most expensive vehicle they manufacturer, they treat us like someone who drives a Nano. Just a couple days ago for example, I called their service center in Kandivali (Mumbai) for a service appointment, I was asked to get the vehicle to their service center two weeks later. |
True man now that you reminded me the Navigation and Music system did not work in Car 1 for more than a month. And Also I was given the Navigation CD's after 2 months and repeated requests. Quote:

We had an Indigo which we used it for more than 70,000 kms but the car never gave us trouble except for a few rattles. We got good resale on it as well Quote:

Safety of the team was the reason that we chose it. Quote:

What is the point of doing testing worldwide if your car fail in home market. Similar to Royal Enfields. I went blindly with the hope that Tata's have changed but they proved me wrong. Quote:

Ya dude , it will be of help if I have to expect any future part failure Quote:

Would advise to keep pushing the Tata Service Center to provide a complete fix for all the problems and please escalate this matter to the highest level possible. Even if its a rare failure in Aria the expectation is to have first-class service and support from the manufacturer. |
What is the use of 10 people trying to work on the car without able to identify the problem. Millenium has been quite helpful but it is the fault of Tata Motors. Infact I asked them return our money and take their cars back and help me gain some credibility back in my organization but that will never happen I guess. Quote:

There are too few cars on road so you cannot expect many reviews Quote:

Niggles like rattles are Ok but disc break failure is not acceptable at all. Tata is worried that Arias are not selling but they are not ready to evaluate why? Quote:

@indian21r, my advise is: sell the two beauties ASAP and move on. Peace. |
True man. And Thanks for the advice but someone else will suffer as well. Anyway I guess that is what will happen quite soon. Quote:

The Ageing of some Tata cars remind me of the movie The Curious case of Benjamin Button. |
lol that is one painful movie. It is lemon I have asked them that long time back. Tomorrow I will sit with my admin team and see what needs to be done.
