Yes, we are talking about the 'Check Engine' warning and orange 'ECG' symbol on the instrument cluster (Means you must carefully drive to the nearest service center)!

So we made a desperate call to our SA & Svc Ctr. After few attempts somehow we go the SA, even Svc Mgr too. We already noticed a gradual tendency of avoidance from sales & accessory team after they sold off the car - because it became increasingly difficult to find them on phone. And this time our belief became only stronger than before. Anyway it was Saturday, and almost 5 pm (an hour before the Svc. Ctr. closes down) and they advised us to bring the car on Monday morning.

Every car can develop and issue but how they deal with the customer one's the issue happens is what differentiats the company from the other competitors. Been looking closely at the contrasting ways as to how Mahindra has been sorting out issues. Do keep us updated as to how it progresses, wish you all good luck.

My father owns a blue Triber RXZ from the initial batch and our experience with it has been all but good, it has the thinner wheels and gets asthamatic even on the parking basement’s ramp.
Right now, took the car for a road trip to Rishikesh (travelogue coming later) and the check engine light came on in Haridwar. Now unfortunately, I think it is a lemon from the initial batch of Tribers and has had heating problems whenever we took it out of the city. Need urgent help as the long weekend and Char Dham Yatra is causing day-long jams on the Rishikesh highway. Also, the car makes a kind of whining, grinding noise and shudders upon braking, had gotten it repaired last year for this but the problem still persists and nobody is ready to listen to me who is a kid that the car has serious problem. Can anyone provide assistance.

Sorry for jumping in late.

I own a 2023 Triber RXZ Manual and I never faced any such issue. Already clocked around 30000 km with almost 75% of the distance covered on highways with a fair bit of load. With combinations like 7 adults or 5 adults + 1 dog + overhead luggage, I never felt any such issue. As you rightly said, there could be some issues with the initial batches. I also heard from a few more owners that the tuning of Triber's engine has been changed a bit lately to serve the purpose of an MPV. With 7 adults on board, I was able to move my car even without pressing the accelerator.

Regarding the heating problem, again, I never felt this issue with my car. I've done around 1000+ km in a day multiple times and then in the end, had to go through the Bangalore traffic but still, I never faced the heating issue.
