DO NOT BUY A CAR FROM THIS COMPANY!!!]

<p>I am a South African single mother and I'm posting my complaints here, because Tata South Africa removed this complaint from their wall and then proceeded to block me... I would like everyone to know what they are getting into if they buy a car from Tata...<br />Hi Jannine,<br />I have copy/pasted my messages from your Facebook page so far. This covers my situation:<br />AUG 22ND - ME: I am terribly disappointed in Tata Motors... 3 years ago I bought a brand new Tata Indica through Drive Car Sales and ABSA, a R699 p.m. payment. After 3 months it changed to R3000 p.m. - Drive Car Sales closed their doors and ABSA held me liable to pay the full amount.<br />Since the first month I complained about my immobiliser being faulty [still not fixed 3 years later] and that my tyres kept going flat. Then my battery died and I found out I couldn't get a replacement in this country, so I've had to use a makeshift battery.<br />My warranty and service plan was managed by Drive Car Sales and I never received a call from Tata to explain where I stood and being a first time new car owner, I had no idea where I stood.<br />When I reached 15 000 km’s, a friend suggested I phone Tata George to find out about my warranty and service plan. Their response was, sorry it no longer applies, as I had gone over the 15000km's (I'd like to add that I am now on 25000 km’s and it's 3 years later). No-one ever contacted me to inform me on whether the warranty still existed or not.<br />So this brings me to today... As I mentioned my tyres keep going flat and shudder awfully since the first day. Last night, on the way home I had a blow out with my front tyre and unfortunately for me the toolkit supp**** by Tata is not compatible, not even my friend's tools helped. So I couldn't change the tyre and my car sat on the side of the road all night. I found the correct spanner at a spares shop today and also had to borrow a jack as the one supp**** by Tata has a vital piece missing, only to then find that the spare wheel did not even fit. Fortunately somebody managed to remove something to make it fit.<br />And even worse than the constant wobble in my wheels and the awful shudder every time I push my breaks. I am naturally very concerned about the safety of myself and my children with such shaky wheels and brakes.<br />All these issues have been ongoing since the day the car was delivered and all I've had so far is a run around and no-one willing to be accountable or compensate me. As a single mom I needed an affordable, reliable car and could manage R699 pm. But this is neither affordable nor reliable, and I am disgusted to say the least - that this is what R225 000 gets you :( And I'm rather disappointed that nobody seems to care...?<br />TATA: AUG 23RD: Hi Lynette.
