Hello Team,

I am Saravanan and booked Honda Dio On 24th Dec’16 and paid advance amount of 36, 000. Due to personal reason and moved to Singapore I have requested for cancellation of my booking on 4th Jan’17 before leaving India.

I haven’t received my refund amount as on today and am dealing with Sales In-charge (Mr. Lijo) in Bangalore KR Puram Haiku Honda Showroom last 45 days but no proper response and my refund is still not processed after many follow ups.

Kindly provide the escalation email ID and its very bad customer experience. If I am not receiving any response by end of this week and will file a case on legal proceedings on my refund.

Note: Mr. Lijo committed my refund will be processed by end of Jan’17 and send for Head office approval but no update and refund as today – FALSE COMMITMENT…

Request you to consider this request on priority basis and refund my advance amount.

Below is the details for your reference.

REMINDER-2

Some one from M/s Subham Sai Honda visited my home to inspect the vehicle and they informed that due to mistake Service from M/s Pioneer One Honda it resulted into an Major Accident, they not tightned the mudguard cover.

As per Subham Sai Honda, lot of repair is required to be done like Mudguard, Handle etc. Hear the call recording of representative of Subham Sai Honda.

I am still awaiting for justification from Honda, that who is responsible for this accident.

It's not just complaint / feedback, IT'S MATER OF MY LIFE AND DEATH.

Dear Sir/Madam,

This is regarding my above mentioned vehicle, I would like to inform you that I had given my vehicle for services 17.10.2016 morning after lot of follow-up taken vehicle after service on 18.10.2016.

As per my last experience I always says Pioneer Honda to please, do service of my vehicle completely, whatever charges are asked by them I never negotiated and paid full. Because I am not mechanic and I want my vehicle in good condition because of this I do my vehicle serviced regularly every after [protected] KMs whenever service mechanic asks me to change parts I do as per their instruction.

This is the second time, when Pioneer Honda charged but not serviced my vehicle and because of them I COULD DIED YESTERDAY due to negligence from Pioneer Honda Service. As they didn't check / service my vehicle properly.

After taking vehicle I traveled approx. 20 Kms and from Tyre got jammed due to loose Mud-Guard Cover (Steel accessories) and resulted into an Major Accident. Its god grace that I am still alive as I was wear helmet and no other vehicle (Car / Bus etc) running on the Rod. If any vehicle behind me no one could save my life.

This could have happened because of Pioneer Honda. My family is dependent on me.

My vehicle is standing at my following address, I request you to please send your team to inspect the same, as I am not in possible to carry my vehicle to your service center : -

I request you to please inspect my vehicle and give your justification for this accident because my all family member and two little child's future is dependent on my life.

Expecting a genuine justice from your end.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I have purchased Activa 3G from your dealer (M/s Shri Sai Honda) in Dwarka More New Delhi on 13.01.2016 and I would like to inform you the following : -

1. I received temporary registration certificate on 28.01.2016 then I started using my Activa 3G

2. My vehicle was have some problem like some Sound in Engine / Engine Heat-up / Problem in Head Light Focus, then I go for service to Pioneer One Honda in Noida Sector-63 on 09.02.2016 and told the service engineer about the problem and after services paid approx. INR 600.00 and taken vehicle but after next day I found that same problem was there in my vehicle. When I asked your service center, they told that you can get it corrected in next visit for services and missed this time.

3. After first service, apart from existing problem my Vehicle developed like some sound like Hurrrr Hurrr (l think some parts was loose) and stand spring was also loose and because of that I was facing problem, then I again visited Pioneer One Honda on 23.03.2016 for service and explained all the problem. Same day evening I paid INR 600.00 and taken my Vehicle but all was problem was same. But Service Engineer of Pioneer One Honhda told that due to holi we are going to close our system so next time in first week April - 16 visit again will re-correct.

4. After second service, new problem developed like after running 25-30 Kms some sound comes from Engineer like Hurrrr Hurrr and Engine get off automatically then I gone for service station but they asked me to provide 3rd Service Slip, where nothing done in first 2 service except washing of Vehicle then why 3rd service slip I should give them. Then I took service locally.

I therefore request you to please confirm whether in Free Service Honda does service of vehicle or only washing of Vehicle becasue in my two free service, no service done for Engineer and also I don't know whether Oil was changed or not for which I paid approx. INR 600.00 in both service.

If in free service, Engine Service is done, request you to please replace my vehicle because there was cheating from Honda.

Awaiting your response.

While riding the running bike suddenly stops. After that self start does not work and kicker will be compressor free. It is completely mechaincal failure. Don't buy Honda Unicorn 160 bike. Its a time bomb. Buy at your own risk.

Hi,

This is with reference to Honda 2 Wheeler's arrogant attitude towards customer's genuine complain and hardcore professional / commercial support to their dealers, who cheat the buyers who are willing to buy
Honda 2 Wheelers.

I bought an 2 wheeler 2 years back from local Dealer C R Honda, based at Vadodara.

During a purchase I was not allowed to buy a vehicle without accessories from the dealer at first glance . Reason given by C R Honda was - they are not allowed to sell vehicle without accessories.

After few efforts, they agreed to sell vehicle on CASH deal, with fix accessories which included number plate. even after charging they never
offered Printed Number plate, Instead they simply refused that in Invoice they charged respected amount.

Even surprisingly, all new vehicles must have atleast 500 ml of petrol while you take the delivery, which almost no dealer follows. every dealer will give max 250 ml of petrol in new Activa from Honda 2 wheelers.

Please note - all things were reported timely to Honda 2 wheelers and they even did not bothered to Say Sorry in written.

After 2 years, when vehicle met with an accident and went to CR Honda, authorized service center for Estimate, C R Honda repaired the vehicle without any intimation, considering vehicle was insured fully.

Upon complaining Honda 2 wheeler Sr. Staff (Mr. Ram & Mr. Chaudhary)
replied arrogantly : Sir Dealer will not say sorry and not apologize .
you would have put your vehicle in some other service Station.

Honda 2 wheeler claim high regard for Customers, but actually they hardly care to call back and reply to emails instantly. Though I got Vehicle from Service Center after 2 months and with fake commitments from team Honda 2 wheelers.

Please be aware while buying Honda Activa as Honda 2 Wheeler is total unprofessional Brand.

Rather Buy some other Good Brand.

Dear Honda Team,

This is regarding the Honda Scooter Starting Problem.

I have purchased a Honda Activa 3G from Ananda Honda, Hosa Road Showroom in Banfgalore on Feb 2016.

Problem Statement:
When I am trying to start my scooter Honda Activa 3G, either way by kick or self it is not working. The start requires minimum 10-15 kicks even with or without choke;
1. Morning (COLD Hours) : I am facing the starting problem, during morning hours (while going to office)
2, During daytime (HOT Condition), it will not self start, if the vehicle is not used more than 4-5 hrs (say while returning from office)
Worst Part of Problem :
3. AT TRAFFIC JUNCTIONS (Engine Hot Condition) : It is not switching on (self start), if you switch off the scooter at TRAFFIC JUNCTIONS. This problem is intermittent, that means 2 to 3 times (out of 10 traffic signals, if you switch off your vehicle).
4. Rainy Season (Engine Hot Condition) :If you are riding the vehicle in rainy season, if you switch off at traffic signals, it may not switch on at traffic signals. Again this problem is intermittent, But frequency is higher compared to 3rd point above (that means without rain)

I have given the vehicle for rectification of this issue at the Hosa Road service center 3 time Before, During and After First service.
But The problem still there.

Note:
a. I have checked this issue with my friends and relatives, almost everyone is having this issue irrespctive of whether it is ACTIVA 3G/ 125/ DIO.
b. I am having another 2 more vehicles, Tvs Scooty Pep+ and Pulsar 180 Dtsi in Bangalore . Even though old vehicle, i am not facing any of these issues with them (as the self start is seamless).

So requesting your help to resolve this problem.

Hi Team

I purchased CBR250 back in Nov 2013 and I am quite frustrated with this bike. You can just figure out my frustration just by knowing the fact that I have completed only 7K in more than 2 years. There were several reasons behind that but the one I am dealing these days made me to write you an email. I hope you guys will surely look into it.
So, both the tyres in my bike developed very tiny multiple holes. As a result both tyres goes flat and without pressure in just three or four days. I have to go to refill air in tyres for every three four days. Problem started three four months ago when every few days I started finding puncture in both tyres. I repaired them almost five or six times, but when it kept going on I stopped using it and few days later when I had to use it, I found both tyres without any pressure. When checked on puncture shop he asked me not to repair the tyre as it has multiple tiny holes. When contacted Pioneer Honda Noida, they said they cannot do anything in this as the bike is out of warranty now. I have checked and found on Conti tyres website that they provide 3 years warranty on their products. I request you to kindly look into the matter and change these tyres ASAP.
If you need any further details, kindly contact me on [protected].

Thanks in advance.

But i hav changed the engine oil of active before some days on 2236 on reading on the metre then i hav come in agency for service of activa on 2839 thats not a right time to change the engine oil but they change the engine oil without asking me without my allowance when i ask him why you changed the engine oil then they say(yeh company ki policy hai har service par engine oil change hoga uske liye hame coustmer se pooshne ki zarurat nhi hai jis bhanchod ko complaint karni hai karde main kisi se nhi darta hum activa nhi le jaane denge tujhe).

Respected Sir,
I would like to draw your attention regarding the malpractice done by the above mentioned parties.
The above mentioned automobiles distributors are taking more money without giving the Bill for the same from customers in the name “On money” and such a “on money” is over and above the on road price of the Honda Active - D2X motor vehicle that a customer is purchasing.
Please take a serious note of this complain.

Please help me in how to deal .
Thanking your

I have purchased a Honda Activa from the dealer on 19th August 2012. I told him (Owner of the shop) the urgency of why I was buying the vehicle. I told him that I was new in the town and the place where we stay has no public transport. We chose the Honda Activa. He told me that he will give Honda Activa that will come with a certificate and will be made within last couple of weeks. After we finalized the vehicle, he told that if I pay by card then I will have to pay 2% extra. So I had to go and withdraw cash. We waited for almost 2 hours and later when we met the guy to provide the details for registration, they said it will take me atleast 20-25 days for getting registration. When I spoke to the guy who was the owner with whom I had been talking, he told me that he can't to anything. Why the hell did he not tell me earlier. I would not have wasted my time. I was in the shop with my wife and a 4 yr old for 3 hrs. They also refused to give any temporary number and said I should not drive the vehicle. How on the earth they expect me to use the vehicle. It is already 20 days now and I have not driven the vehicle. Now when I called them up for the registration status, they are asking more money stating that the registration cost has gone up. What would they have done if I did not had called them up. Is this the kind of dealers Honda is having. I had good regards for Honda but never knew that they choose dealers who are liers, unethical, unprofessional and non fair trading policy. This reflects the Honda ethics as well. Please refrain from Honda and more from Dugar Honda on VIP road in Kolkata.
