Mahindra

It is with disgust that I write to you. I bought a new Mahindra Scorpio S6 Pik Up Karoo double cab from Mahindra Montana at the beginning of June 2019. I waited for the bakkie until the end of June 2019 wherby I was given excuse upon excuse of why the bakkie is not coming. After finally getting the bakkie, the problems started. When I took delivery of the bakkie it pulled severely to the left, had to go back the next day for alignment. The week after that and with mileage not even at 200km there is a scratching sound coming from the rear tyres. Took it back again and now the brake pads apparently had a piece sticking out and this made the sound. A few days after that, there was oil coming from where the propshaft exits the gearbox. Had to go back once again only to hear I don't need to worry as it is only assembly grease. Drove two weeks, oil again and the vehicle shakes when stationary at robots , not all the time. Sometimes. Also shudders when pulling off after having driven on a highway for a while and sounds coming from die rear of vehicle when this happens. Went back again to Montana, being told they can't see anything after just looking at it for 30min and sent me off saying again not to worry and they will order a seal for the propshaft that according to them was not leaking... Speedometer also jumping around when reaching 80 to 100 km/h. Montana told me they will receive the parts on Monday and book me in, it is now Wednesday and nothing. I reluctantly called another dealer to see if they can assist and made an appointment for Thursday 8 Aug 2019 at Menlyn as the vehicle still has all the above issues that Montana tells me that there is nothing wrong. After involving Mahindra SA Montana called again to replace the seal and speedo sensor. The bakkie was there for three days and the seal still leaks and the housing tube was damaged by them, full of tool marks and bent. The vehicle still makes the sound from the diff and shudders when pulling off when I drive more than 50km and they still tell me that there is no issue. This is the worst brand, stay far far away, and stay even further away from Montana Mahindra. They now told me I must drive with the sound and shudder until the first service when they do all the oil changes and see what happens. The bakkie is 1 month old and the issues are ongoing. Mahindra SA not coming back to me and they are silent regarding my request to reverse the transaction or give me a replacement bakkie.

PATHETIC!!!!
