POTENTIAL BUYERS SHOULD BE AWARE OF THE INHERANT FAULTS WITH THE NEW TATA SUPER ACE MINI TRUCK AND NOT BE SEDUCED BY ITS LOW SELLING PRICE.
MY VEHICLE IS LESS THAN 3 MONTHS OLD WITH LESS THAN 5000KM ON THE CLOCK.
FAULTS :-
1. THE ENGINE SCREAMS AND WHINES LIKE A WOUNDED BUSHPIG. TATA ADMIT THIS IS A FAULT ON ALL THESE BAKKIES AND CANNOT FIX THE PROBLEM.
2. JUMPING OUT AND GETTING STUCK IN 3RD GEAR. NOW ON THIRD REPLACEMENT GEARBOX. SECOND ONE LASTED LESS THAN 500KM. APPARENTLY THIS IS A RECOGNIZED FAULT WITH ALL OF THESE BAKKIES. GEARBOXES ALL REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY.
3. THE 38LTR FUEL TANK TAKES 30 MINUTES TO FILL AS THE FILLER IS ALMOST ON SAME LEVEL AS FUEL TANK.
WHILST ANY REPAIR ISSUES HAVE BEEN DEALT WITH UNDER WARRANTY, I CANNOT COMPREHEND HOW A MULTI-NATIONAL COMPANY THE SIZE OF TATA (WHO ALSO OWN JAGUAR AND LAND-ROVER) CAN INTRODUCE SUCH AN ILL - CONCEIVED AND POORLY EXECUTED VEHICLE.
IF YOU ARE THINKING OF BUYING ONE, BE SURE YOU TAKE IT FOR A VERY COMPREHENSIVE TEST DRIVE AND ASK THE DEALER ABOUT THESE INHERANT FAULTS.
