2007 Maruti Grand Vitara review from India
"Comfortable, fuel guzzler, stable, needs more power and most importantly, no service"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When I bought this SUV it had lot of cabin noise and had a left alignment problem. I mentioned this to the the dealer where I purchased the car, and they said I would have to drive it for about 1000 kms so they could note the reading of the alignment and then rectify the problem.
After 1000 kms they said the problem would be solved in first free service. Even then they could not rectify the alignment and the cabin noise.
The story goes on like this for 8 months, where they repaired my car for 5 times, changed some parts, repacked the A/C piping, changed the tire pressure, interchanged the tires etc but still could not solve the problem.
Finally I got fed up and filed a case against Maruti udyog India Ltd and the dealer.
The court case is still pending, the car is still under warranty but no one is bothered to listen to me.
Remember this Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara is a fully imported SUV from Japan and still has a one year warranty... funny isn`t it. :)
