Producer Sunil Bohra is livid with the Jaguar automobile company. His 10-month old Jaguar, XF luxury sports car, has developed senior
snags within ten months of purchase. And the company refuses to take responsibility. Bohra will now approach the consumer court this
week.
Sounding deeply upset about the problems plaguing his prized possession Bohra said, `My Jaguar (registration number MH04 FF 2772)
is just 10 months old. It has run for less than 5, 000 kms. But when its brake pads developed rust, the company sent me an email
asking for Rs 1 lakh as repair charges.
The tyre burst once and the mag-wheel has also cracked. The company says that
they cannot provide any kind of help and neither the insurance company will be able to help in any way. The car is worth about Rs. 1
crore and I have paid the full insurance amount.
Yet the company says that we will have to pay the whole amount for
repairs. Why??`
Unable to comprehend the logistics of the stonewalling attitude Bohra will now go to the consumer court on Tuesday.
`I
would've filed a criminal case. But my legal department has advised me to approach the consumer court. What is really baffling and
unacceptable to me is that a car company as reputed as Jaguar is playing such games with me.
We allow multi-national
companies to come in because we believe they will provide us with world-class consumer goods. Lekin agar Jaguar ka yeh haal hai toh
imagine karo baqi maulti-national companies ke kya haal hoga. I won't spare them. `
