Horribal Experience - Misbehaved, abused, job not done

No solution so far ...

FIND THE DETAIL ...
Suffered, misbehaved, bad dealing by the staff and engineers of renault service center benchmark jalandhar on jalandhar - amritsar road. I have spent about 3 hrs.in waiting and the job not done. Mr. Harpreet is very very irresponsible person. Mr. Narinder (Denter) doesn't have the proper knowledge of his job. He is very illmannered person. He doesn't know how to deal with the customer. He started debating and abused. Even he challenged me by telling his name that the complaint against him may be submitted / raised anywhere, he doesn't care and bother. Such people spoil the image of the big companies. It's very very bad. A bad experience and a bad day for me.

I made a call to the service center on 16th march at 10.34am (At the numbers 7087013411, 7087013464, 7087013510, 7087013863) to know the workshop timings and the availability of denter. Mr. Harpreet confirmed me that the workshop will be open 9.30 ~ 6.30 & the denter will be available there & i can visit anytime.

I visited there at about 3.30pm. They asked me to wait for 1 and half an hour. Till 5.44pm, nobody properly attended my vehicle. I left the workshop at 5.50pm. I gave all the detail to customer care at 5.50pm at their toll free number 18003004444.in between whatever the episode and show created by the staff and engineers is mentioned in the first paragraph.

In view of above, i suggest to all viewers / honours and the people who are thinking of buying renault product to be very very careful because they will not get better after sales services. Moreover, their agencies' working staff and engineers are also very very illmannered. They start abusing and fighting with the customers.

GM of Renault Benchmark Jalandhar called me on 30.03.2019 at my mobile from the their contact number 09815022115 to know the facts which I have already explained a number of times. Moreover, I hope, they must have all the information recorded in the service agency and through the CCTV available there. Instead of taking any stringent action against the persons involved they are just killing time.

Horrible Renault/Kwid Service

Good afternoon


I'm writing this complaint as a very, very disappointed client of Renault.
My husband purchased a Renault Kwid for my birthday last year - we were discussing various options before finally settling on Renault. After years of being of Ford clients we broke away from this relationship for the first time in 10 years to deal with Renault and I must stay, from the very beginning this client-dealer relationship has been a nightmare.

The following to give you an idea:

- The car was handed to us late
- When we finally took delivery we noticed that smash-and-grab was not on the car. This is standard with all cars due to safety reasons. It was not communicated that there will be no tint and neither was it offered at an additional cost.
- we waited over a month for the stickers to be delivered
- we waited longer than necessary for the licence plates to be delivered
- After about two months I heard a noise when braking that should not be heard on a new car.

which finally brings me to the issue that really boils my blood.
My husband went to the dealership yesterday to find out what was wrong with the car. He was told to leave the car and that it will be looked at and fixed and be ready by 17:00. Please take into account that he did this on an off-day after working 7 days straight.
He was told that someone will collect him to pick up the car - this was a blatant lie - as was it a lie from the mechanic who said that he's almost at the dealership to collect the car.

This morning he was picked up late - AGAIN please consider that he needed to be at work latest 8:30. When he arrived at the dealership he was notified that the car was not ready.

After phoning numerous times nobody could be bothered to return his calls.

This is pathetic service and I am ever so sorry that we walked away from a decade long relationship with Ford where service is over-the-top.

I need a response to this email or I will take it further with your superiors.

Defective Brake pads

Have purchased brand new Clio GT Line in Nov’17. Right from start we had issues with front brake noise. Even the dealer was unable to resolve the noise issue. Even during 1st Service nothing was done for this complain. And now after 15Kkm we told to shell out R 5000 to replace the brake pads & discs. It’s shame on part of Renault to sell cars with sub-standard quality parts !!

Reanault Captur

I purchased a Renault Captur in 2016 and have since endured two major defect issues. First i had starter issues which the dealer fixed as this was still under warantee. Second issue that i experience late last year, the led lights were not going off after locking. I took the car to the dealer and they advised the computer box was faulty. Still under warantee they ordered a new box from FRANCE. The part arrived on 12-02-2019 after placing the ordering on the 2-01-2019.

Yesterday i am told the VIN number does not match the part and they have to re-order from france.So what this means is that my car was initially given a different part or somehow replaced(not sure when). I am deeply disappointed with Renault. I am not prepared to wait another month for my car. One thing for sure i will never buy a RENAULT after this.

When i eventually get my car back, will rid of it and dealing with renault.

Unhappy Customer

I am unhappy with Renault! It is the first time owning a Renault and it has been with me for a month and I am regretting the buy.. there is a shudder like sound on the back breaks. The car cuts randomly! It makes a weird noise when it starts and when in reverse it jumps a little.. I personally want to give this car back and cancel the whole thing!

Not honoring warranty

I had sudden problem in my vehicle during regular running. I contacted
your road side assistance for support. Mr. Rajesh attended our complaint
& suggested to send the vehicle for check up to authorised service
station. Accordingly I sent my vehicle to M/s. Benchmark Motors Pvt.
Ltd. to carryout complete checkup.

Thereafter I was in regular touch with Mr. Gaurav intially & thereafter
with Mr. Omar. Mr. Omar conveyed that the automatic transmission motor
is faulty & will need replacement. Regarding my vehicle being urder
warranty, he conveyed that though this is a manufacturing defect M/s.
Renault has declined to cover the cost as I had missed the servicing
scheduled at 30000 kms.

Here I would like to mention that I had my earlier vehicle : Logan,
thereafter Lodgy & latest is my Duster fully Automatic top end model,
all of your make.

I was always satisfied with your vehicles but not satisfied with your
service of your authorised service centre. Please refer my emails to
your [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>_ dtd. 15^th Oct
2016, 14^th Nov 2016, 15^th Nov 2016, 14^th Dec 2016, 26^th Dec 2016,
28^th Dec 2016, requesting help to sort out my greivances with your
Authorised Service Centre, Jogeshwari .

Absolutely dissatisfied with this, we were compelled to take the help of
M/s. Bombay Auto works for the servicing.

My vehicle is always in well maintained condition. You can check this
and also share with us the computerised result obtained during complete
checkup of my vehicle. It should be evident.

The transmission motor failure is purely a Manufacturing defect & NOT a
result of negligence. Kindly honour the warranty applicable to my vehicle.

I have already gone through inconvenience for more than 14 days without
my vehicle . Requesting immediate assistance.

BAD SERVICE

I bought a brand new Renault Clio IV in May 2014. So here is my problem, the car would not start last Thursday so Renault Assist came along and took it to the Multi Franchise in Paarden Eiland, in Cape Town. I called on the morning to find out whether they had a chance to look at it, only to hear that they could not find my vehicle. I must've called at dozen times and eventually they found the keys in their security hut. My last service was late but I was really ill last year and I do Antarctic Logistics as part of my job at work - one thing led to another and this is part of the reason why my vehicle was serviced late - so they are now telling me that the warranty does not stand - the vehicle is only four years old. So what does changing oil and doing a general service have to do with the engine?I was told that they need R4500.00 before they open the heads as the car had "heat seized" whatever that might mean??? The water bottle was full and there was nothing wrong with the oil. So here is my thing - vehicle 4 years old - warranty for 5 years - this is the way they get out of doing things that are important to the average man on the street- after sales service sucks!! Then the service guy tells me that once they open the heads it could cost R7000.00 but could also cost R50000.00 or R60000.00. How does one handle this? Not many people have that kind of money lying around - I have now been told to remove my car off their premises otherwise I will be paying storage fees.
I have sent someone to collect my vehicle and to be quite honest Renault can go and you know what to themselves! To be quite honest I loved my Renault and would've bought another one next year - sorry not going to happen now!!

Defective Renault Kwid

I bought my car in February 2017. In February 2018 until September 2018 i have been to the service centre 7 times for faults on my car. I'm paying such a lot of money for a car that does not work properly.

1. Back lights not working - was at service centre 4 times before it was fixed
2. Front lights not working
3. Indicators work when they want to
4. Gear won't shift from 1st to 2nd. - was at service centre 2 times before it was fixed
5. Battery had to be replaced after just 1 year - was at service centre 1 times before it was fixed

What else must happen before i can sell it? Explode?

Dealer is refusing to give me my car

Hi,

Early June I took my car in for repairs and only got my car end of June after paying 18000. Within two weeks it was still giving me issues I took it in and they charged me further 10500 I paid only 8500 because my car is still not fixed. One weekend I had a birthday party and desperately needed a car I was then given a loan car which was unfortunately involved in an accident being driven by my brother who is a qualified driver. I had a ceremony he had to assist with certain things. I reported the matter but only end of August they are following up and thry found that there are missing documents but they expect to get them as soon as possible. What is funny now they don't want to give me my car and they already told me I have to pay the full amount of the vehicle but they are still waiting for other documents. Why is Renault mixing issues ?? Why can't thry give me my car that I gave them to fix and I paid for it. I also never said I will never look at the claim or anything they delayed looking at my claim now they want everything asap.

The car is almost 3months old, already the front left window rattles, rattles inside the dashboard compartment???

MANUFACTURING DEFECT

Good day

It has been brought to my attention recently that the boot of the Kwid Expression has a slight manufacturing defect.
Somewhere below the keyhole has a sunken hollow gash.

This has been noticed on every comet grey Kwid Expression 1.0 5 Door boot seen so far.

Please advise on fixing this problem?

I am hoping to hear some feedback soon preferably on email.

Regards

They cannot even fix a water problem, which then provides staff the opportunity to drive a Renault without water and seize the engine - of course with a dealer principal such as zaheer this is not unexpected - NEVER BUY RENAULT AGAIN

Terrible service, lies and excuses

I hope this goes right to the top.

I have honestly been trying to contain my dissatisfaction with this company and my overall experience with Renault in general.

Let’s start at the beginning:
1. I bought the 4x4 Duster on good faith from your salesman and it was not an easy decision for me at all as I really wanted the Mazda and my fiancé wanted the Duster.
2. I based the purchase on the fact that it had more space than the Mazda and would probably be a better family car.
3. I based my purchase based on the fact that it is a 4x4 and that I can use it for better purposes than I could use a Mazda - camping as an example.
4. I specifically made this point clear to your salesperson.
5. I take all the extras that you have on your form as I believe that you should be comfortable with what you have and that chances are you will never free up enough money to add it later - nowhere does it ask if you want a tow bar so I think it is added as who can go off road without a tow bar.
6. This is where my first problem arrives, car is ready for delivery and I don't take note of it cos obviously I am excited. Only when I am home I realize this and call me salesman who then says to me "oh sorry but you should say you want a tow bar" HOW ABOUT YOU PUT IT ON THE LIST? Fine - we send an amendment to the financier and they correct the problem, thank goodness to Wesbank.
7. On the 2nd or 3rd day I have the car the locking mechanism on the boot jams and we can’t get the boot open at all. Big inconvenience as my dad dies the day before I get the car and I am fetching family and friends at the airport having to climb in and out of my brand new vehicle like a twat.
8. Next my fiancé is unfortunate enough to get a puncture on a brand new tyre on the wall of the tyre but because she can’t get the boot open she has to drive in the dark to the nearest place where she can to get the tyre replaced again climbing in and out of the boot like a complete idiot in a brand new car AGAIN and in the process destroying the tyre we could have had fixed, could she get the boot open.
9. When I show the salesman I tell him I don’t want to hear stories I want a new tyre. He takes the tyre away and comes back to me with feedback and says oh no its not Renaults problem as the puncture is on the side of the tyre wall. LET ME TELL YOU HOW I SEE THIS, IF I COULD HAVE GOT THE TYRE OUT IN TIME I COULD HAVE FIXED IT BUT INSTEAD MY FIANCE HAS TO DRIVE ON IT UNTIL SHE REACHES A PLACE OF SAFETY - IS IT OUR FAULT THE BOOT COULD NOT OPEN??? NOW THE PROBLEM BECOMES MINE!
10. Next issue is the tow bar which was never offered and therefore not fitted, when it eventually arrives it is missing a component and everyday I have to follow up when it will be there as I am waiting for it to arrive. I am going away everything already arranged but now I have to wait until you guys wake up and hopefully have THE TOW BAR to me in time. I FEEL LIKE IF IT WAS NOT FOR ME RUSHING AND FOLLOWING UP EVERY DAY NOTHING WOULD HAPPEN AS I HAVE TO KEEP FOLLOWING UP WITH YOU.
11. Next issue is the license disc - the temporary one is expiring in 2 days but every day I have to hear from the salesman how his license guy has no feedback for him. What the actual hell? how can this be the same story every day? What happens when the paper expires and I get pulled over? Will RENAULT pay the fines or the inconvenience of having to sit with a traffic cop for 30 minutes trying to wangle my way out of a fine?
12. The last issue is also the mileage that the car gives which was also a big reason for me taking the car is that they claim 4.8 to 5.2l per 100km... Utter nonsense. the only time i get the mileage to under 6 is when i am driving at 100km per hour. the car averages nothing less than 6 in traffic and on an open road ranges between 6.4 and 8. SHOCKING and a complete LIE at 4.8 to 5.2l.

My whole experience with RENAULT has been shocking to say the least. The car has cost me a pretty fortune and you guys take no responsibility on your part and have no fault in any matter according to you. If it was me I would have done anything in my power to thank the guy who has just spent 360k buying a car and I would have taken full responsibility for the locking mechanism and the tyre. I would have had the NATIS documents to him even if it meant that I had to drive to the licensing department myself BUT CLEARLY YOU GUYS DO NOT APPRECIATE YOUR CLIENTS.

I can only pray that nothing serious ever goes wrong with the car or parts cos if I have to wait this long for documents and a tow bar I can only imagine how long the car will be at a standstill should it be a part that actually makes the car operate.

I can honestly say I should have listened to all my friends and even my cousin who had a RENAULT and I should have gone with the Mazda.

LASTLY I REALLY WISH YOU GUYS PUT THIS ON TEH WEBSITE AND SOCIAL MEDIA LIKE YOU SAY YOU WOULD BUT WE KNOW THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN GOOD THINGS ARE SAID.

I would have put this on social media but your review wants to put it on Facebook and luckily for you our work internet blocks Facebook.

I understand from the salesman’s point of view that mistakes happen which I could have understood in regards to the tow bar but the way everything else has happened is unacceptable to me and I would love to get the complaints email to Renault SA too please as I feel they are just as much part of this problem.

To add insult to injury the Sales manager Alan called me and told me again that everything is out of their control and making up every excuse under the sun as to why it is out of their control, JUST LIKE I SAID NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR MISTAKES OR THE PROBLEM AND TEH BLAME JUST GETS SHIFTED TO EVERYONE ELSE!

Alan then goes further to say that the tyre could not be fixed as the puncture was in the wall of the tyre (4mm cut). I have a news flash for them, the cut was so small it could have been fixed with vulcanising. I have done it before but because of the boot mechanism that could not open the car was completely destroyed and beyond repair.

I would not recommend Renault to anyone and unfortunately now after having issues of my own i now see how slack they really are when it comes to Renault.

DO NOT EVER BUY RENAULT!!!! TAKE IT FROM THE THOUSANDS WHO HAVE BOUGHT THEM AND HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THEIR CARS AND GET CRAP SERVICE IN RETURN. I CAN GUARANTEE YOU THAT I WILL NEVER EVER BUY ONE AGAIN!!!

Nelspruit Renault multi franchise bad service

Good day,
I brought my car to service on the 5 of April 2018 and it took me a month to get my car back without an assistance of a courtesy car.After getting it back after a week it started to overheat and I called the roadside assistance and they took it to the dealer (Nelspruit Renault)on the 18 of May to check the problem.Since then up to day I have been calling to check the new developments of the car but I’m being told that they have to run some tests before taking any action.I then ask for assistance of a courtesy car they promised to assist but up to today I’m still waiting and hopeless.I regret buying a Renault brand as they only care about customers before the sale.

My registration number is HTD 949 MP and contact detail is 076 7436777.

RENAULT CENTURION

I bought a brand new Renault KWID Climber from RENAULT CENTURION.
The entire sales process has been a complete nightmare!!!

Upon handover on 04/05/20178 I discovered that extras like Matrix and smash and grab was added to my OTP. This was never discussed with the sales person, Nico van Wyk beforehand. The Matrix and smash and grab was already fitted and since I was planning on having it done anyway I accepted it. I asked Nico to send my a copy of my contract on the day, as well as the certificates for the smash and grab and Matrix.

After numerous e-mails, phone calls and WhatsApps I finally got a copy of my contract on 14/05/2018. On the day I was also promised that my number plates would be fitted at the latest by that Wednesday. Once again I had to follow up, e-mail etc to get it done. Finally I had someone come to fit my numberplates on 18/05/2018. The lady, Yolande also brought along a new contract for me to sign, explaining that the car description on the previous contract was incorrect. Yolande also promised to send me the certificates that I asked for.

On 21/05/2018 I send Yolande an e-mail requesting the copies of the certificates. I then received a call from her to inform me that Matrix was never fitted. Matrix was only then booked and fitted to my vehicle later that afternoon. If I did not insist on the certificates Renault would have defrauded me out of my payment!

I then had to continue fighting for copies of the certificates. I contacted RENAULT CUSTOMER CARE and was advised to speak to the dealer principle, Wandile Hlophe. Finally after one hell of an effort and fight I was send the certificates on 23/05/2018. I also picked up that I paid for something called a RENEW TECHNICAL PLAN. I asked what that is for? And up to today still has not received an answer from the dealership!!

On 30/05/2018 I discovered that the numberplates fitted to my car was incorrect! So I spend the entire day fighting with RENAULT CENTURION to get that sorted!!!

I then proceeded to send complaints to Niel and Brett from Renault SA. NO RESPONSE!!!

My advise? DO NOT EVER EVEN THINK ABOUT DOING BUSINESS WITH RENAULT!!!! They are a dishonest bunch that does NOT care about customer service!

complaining about new kwid

I am a first time car owner and purchased a brand new Renault Kwid 2018 model on the 28/03/2018, I was very proud and advised all my friends and colleagues to purchase a Renault as I was that excited and impressed by the fact that it is 1.0 liter.

when I arrive at home I realized that my car has too many factory fault I then brought it back to their attention they then said I must leave the car the will fix it . after hours when I check the car they only fixed the tinted window which had pilled off, they did not fix the motor of the window which was not working I then told them that they also did not fix the oil which was liking under the car.
I left the car with them requested them to replace my new car cause I paid my first installment, I even paid insurance .My problem with Renault wonder boom is that they don't answer my phones when I call them . Other thing my car is with them they don't bother to borrow me the car cause I sold my 2008 chevrolet with a good or excellent condition thinking that since while kwid is new I wont experience problem. I even called Renault Sa they also don't respond
