Tata Aria Negatives

Before purchasing Aria I had 1.Mahindra Scorpio which is driven by me for more than 90,000 Kilometer[sold during purchase of Aria] 2.Mahindra Scorpio which is driven by me for 26,000 Kilometers 3.Toyota Innova which is driven by me for about 50,000 Kilometers 4.Apart from the above my company vehicle I have taken for office trips are TATA Indica, Mahindra Scorpio, Pajero, Honda CRV, Sckoda Lura which is driven by me about 5000 Kilometers By the above vehicle description, you can understand that I have a good driving knowledge, experience and knowledge about the four wheel vehicles. My choice to take to this Aria is only because it is top end Indian manufactured model in its class particularly by Tata Motors, even though the price was higher when compared to other company vehicles for top end model . During the tenure of six months I came across so many problems in the vehicle which is enumerated below Problem No.1: Steering is too hard to handle, during drive I started getting shoulder pain Problem No.2: Air Cooler for long trip will start giving sound and cooling effect will come down. Problem No.3: Navigation system is not user friendly Problem No. 4: Cruise control on steering wheel are very hard. Problem No. 5: Pick up is too bad, it is too dangerous while overtaking any vehicle on road. During my trip to Shirdi from Bellary last 300 Kilometers was too bad pick up even in first gear. Problem No.6: Brakes are not comfortable, once the vehicle crosses above 100 kilometers speed. Problem No. 7: Vehicle will not be in driver control when it crosses above 100 kilometers speed. Problem No.8: Till now I had gone for long trips twice in Aria and vehicle has generated TCS EBD fault and it says Restricted performance. During this problem pick up of vehicle even in first gear is too bad. Problem No.9: No comfort for Rear seat passengers when vehicle crosses 100 kilometers speed. Problem No.10: Last Rear seat even one person cannot sit properly [leave about comfortably], even after adjustment of front rear seat. Problem No.11: Mileage of mine Aria is in and around 7 to 8 kilometers per liter. Problem No.12: While filling up of diesel in fuel tank, it will take long time to fill completely i.e. 60 liters. Problem No.13: I had called customer care on the day, when vehicle started giving problem on my way to Bellary from Shirdi. They said that with in 10 minutes technical person will call back me, but till now I have not received call from technical person. For vehicle of this cost, customer never expects this kind of response during road side problems Problem No. 14: From the inception to till date I had received so many calls from Tata Motors taking a feedback on the showroom behavior, but they have never ever asked about the vehicle performance. See I am proud that Tata Motors [Indian car manufacturer] has made a top end car with excellent facilities. But when I started using this Aria I felt that this vehicle is not so worth. You have to understand that this is not Nano, Indica, Vista and price of this Aria is not small. A different class of people will buy this Aria and will assume to utilize the facilities. I am totally upset about this vehicle. You can drive Mahindra Scorpio, Toyota Innova and other vehicle available in the market at this price and see the road grip and performance. I have handed over the Aria in Bhagyodaya Motors Bellary. I want to return back the vehicle.
