Hi all
With lot of expectations we bought a Maruti Alto basic model on August 3, 2011 at ABT Maruti. Initially i was pleased with its perfomance. But slowly it started giving some troubles. Following are the issues faced by me within 1 month.
1. From the day one, while shifting the gear from 2nd to 3rd there is some jerking. When i said about this issue to the dealer he said to release the clutch slowly. By doing so also it jerks sometimes.
2. Reverse gear shifting is always troublesome. I have to try atleast 2 or 3 times to shift the gear lever to reverse, which is very annoying in busy roads. Regarding this isssue, the dealer said to depress the clutch fully and shift. But no use. It still remains the same.
3. Another issue is very dangerous. While travelling at a speed of 50 kmph in 5th gear suddenly the gear lever came to neutral automatically. This happened once in 4th gear & now in 5th. Its very dangerous if it happens while overtaking at high speeds.
4. Final issue is that there is a screeching noise from the engine, while starting and it goes of if we depress the clutch. Again when we release the clutch the screeching noise is there even while moving. I dono whether this is a clutch issue.![Frustration [frustration] [frustration]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Frustration.gif)
The last issue is there from a day before. Yesterday only first free service is done. They have changed the engine oil & oil filter and charged me Rs.1268/- I am really fed up with the above issues. My car has done 500 kms. I suspect that whether they have delivered a test drive car. I am really confused whether these kind of issues will be there in a new vehicle. Auto Gurus kindly suggest me regarding these issues.
