Tata Safari Owner – Abhishek Chaudhary

Within 10 days of taking possession of this premium SUV, Abhishek has witnessed several reliability and safety issues. He said that the SUV has shown multiple malfunctions such as speedometer is not working, windows are not working properly, failure of the ORVMs and a ADAS malfunctioning.
He stated that the ADAS function “in which car stops when it detects car very close by in front of it, was not working. At times ADAS has led to sudden brake when it was not required.” In fact, his SUV was hit by a bike due to ADAS failure. He further reveals that the welcome lights were not in sync and left side lights in front & back are not working properly. Adding to it, the co-occupant door had to be pushed hard to close properly.
Airbags Deployed At Service Station
The biggest nightmare for Safari owner came at the official service centre. He reveals that “one guy at the Tata service centre without uniform started hammering the gate hard, this led to opening of the airbags”.
He said that “I had a very bad experience with Tata Motors not only in the showroom but also at the service centre firstly I asked for a white dual tone safari which they said I will get by 9th of December after getting advance payment they denied to give me that colour said we can provide only Dark Edition in this month because I sold my previous car as per their commitment. I had no other option but to go for the available colour.
