Respected Sir,
I purchased a car Santro XL from M/S Shivnath Hyundai Raipur,(C.G.) in Nov. 2006 for my wife Smt. Aruna Pandey.I used this car to go to my office (10km)
and come back to my house.
In July2009 after free checkup and test drive, it was advised by Shivnath Hyundai, to get the car serviced, and car was in good condition.
My son took the car for servicing at their workshop. They delivered the car next day evening to my son. In the morning when I drove the car, unfamiliar sound was heard from the car. I again took the car to their workshop and they told that one bearing of a front wheel is damaged and both wheel bearings have to be replaced.
I asked how it was possible that before servicing, car was in very good condition and after servicing suddenly without any reason bearings are found damaged?
They simply denied any responsibility and said bearing is a wear and tear part, it may fail any time. I told my car has run only 12000Km. till date.I have not heard bearings of any car failing in such a short span of running time and running hours.I asked them how many complaints do you receive of bearing failures and after how many running hours they have failed. They did not reply.
I complained Hyundai Motor India also, but they simply used to forward my complaints to Shivnath Hyundai, who did not even bothered to inquire in their workshop to find reason of premature failure of bearing of my car.
I suspect that bearings have failed due to vigourous hammering at the wheel to straighten the outer collar of the rim which was slightly bend from the time of purchase. I found it straight after servicing.
Sir, with full faith we leave our vehicle at authorized service center for repair and servicing, they should be careful about the activities going on in their workshop.
They have offered some discount in the repair cost. But they should replace bearings free of cost as they are damaged due to their carelessness.
M. K. Pandey.
