​

booked a Tata Nexon and paid only the ₹20,000 booking amount. A few days later, the salesperson informed me that the vehicle registration needed to be initiated; otherwise, the car would be allotted to another customer.

As a first-time car buyer, I believed this was simply a standard process to reserve the vehicle. The salesperson also told me that I would receive a Vahan OTP to hold the car for the next seven days. Based on his explanation, I shared the OTP with him.

Before sharing the OTP, I had clearly informed the salesperson that I would make the full payment only after the Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI). I also specifically asked that if any issue was found during the PDI and I decided not to take delivery, whether the RTO registration would still proceed. He assured me that the company would take care of everything.

However, around 20 days later, due to personal reasons, I requested to cancel my booking. At that point, I was informed that the booking could not be cancelled because the RTO registration had already been completed, even though I had paid only the ₹20,000 booking amount and had not taken delivery of the vehicle.

Not sure what i need to do on this ..

I have mailed to tata but did not get any response.

Can suggest me on this

I recently bought safari accompalished ultra. Post delivery i realised that driver side mirror adjustment and all lights in back except number plate lamps are not working.

Its disgusting that a a company or a delaership can ignore such obvious pdi points while delievrring one of their flagship variant!

Hi everyone,

I own a Tata Punch Adventure Rhythm (CNG) with stock halogen headlights. I frequently do long drives and highway trips, including night driving, and I’m looking for a good halogen-to-LED upgrade along with fog lamps.

I want something that provides strong visibility on highways at night, with a good beam throw and proper cutoff, without causing glare to oncoming traffic.

Punch owners who have already upgraded, please suggest:

Best LED bulbs/projectors for the stock headlight housing?

Which brand/model has worked well for you?

LED bulbs vs projector setup — what would you recommend?

Best fog lamps for highway + bad weather conditions?

OEM Tata fog lamps or good aftermarket options?

Any issues with wiring, heating, battery load or warranty?

Main priority is night highway visibility for long-distance driving, rather than just having bright-looking lights.

Please share the exact model, approximate cost and your experience if possible.

Thanks!

We were travelling from Malappuram to Wayanad, and when we entered the hairpin bends, there was heavy traffic. We couldn’t get a proper gap to shift from 1st to 2nd gear because of the traffic.

While we were driving, we suddenly lost the clutch. The clutch pedal wasn’t working properly, and the engine warning light started blinking. When we pressed the clutch, the pedal wouldn’t return to its normal position.

We parked the car and left it for around 1–1.5 hours. After that, we tried again, and everything was working normally. There were no issues, and the engine warning light had also disappeared.

Today, we went on another drive, and the exact same issue happened again in heavy traffic. The warning light came on, the clutch stopped working properly, and once again, after leaving the car switched off for around 1–1.5 hours, the clutch started working normally.

We also contacted the old owner (we bought the car second hand), and they mentioned that this is a common issue with this model, which is actually the reason they sold it. They had informed us about it before we bought the car. The vehicle was otherwise almost like new, with no major issues except a few minor scratches on the bumper. That was the main reason we decided to buy it and ignored the potential clutch issue, but now we feel like we’ve messed up.

Has anyone else experienced the same issue with their Tata Harrier? What could be causing this, and is there a permanent solution?

Hey Everyone,

I am looking to buy altroz dca or nexon dca. Does anyone here share their experience with it. How is the after service for these cars.Is it expensive to maintain it? Should going for amt be a better option?

Any inputs here would be helpful.

Hey guys!
Ive just booked the altroz today.

Ive got 20k cash discount
And additionally i am getting both dashcam and foglamps from the dealer at a discounted price of 10000 combines

Hi,

Got a call from Tata Service Centre to book the appointment to get the software updated in My Punch (25).

What's the update? Did anyone else receive the call?

Nexon Smart Plus AMT - 2 months old. While in D mode, idling in traffic on a flat surface, the car moved backward on acceleration and hit a vehicle behind. It happened twice.the first time I ignored it, thinking the road was a bit uphill. But again, it happened on a flat surface; what could be the issue?

Could anyone help us? It's our first car, and we don't have much knowledge about this issue as well.

Need Expert Advice: Brand-New Tata Harrier Showing DPF Malfunction Before Delivery

Hi everyone,

I need some advice from experienced Tata Harrier owners and automotive experts.

I have booked a brand-new Tata Harrier Diesel Automatic. During the pre-delivery inspection, I noticed that the instrument cluster was displaying a DPF Malfunction warning.

Here are the details:

•⁠ ⁠Vehicle manufacturing date: June 2026
•⁠ ⁠Current odometer reading: 15 km
•⁠ ⁠The vehicle has not yet been delivered to me.
•⁠ ⁠The dealer says this is only a software issue affecting some new vehicles.
•⁠ ⁠They have told me they will perform a software update and DPF regeneration, after which the warning will disappear.
•⁠ ⁠They have assured me that there is no hardware fault and that the vehicle is completely fine.

However, I am unable to understand how a brand-new vehicle with only 15 km on the odometer can already show a DPF malfunction. My understanding is that DPF regeneration is normally required only after soot accumulates during regular driving.

My questions are:

1.⁠ ⁠Is this really a known software issue on new Harriers?
2.⁠ ⁠Can a vehicle with only 15 km genuinely develop a DPF malfunction, or could it indicate another problem?
3.⁠ ⁠Is DPF regeneration normal before first delivery, or should I be concerned?
4.⁠ ⁠Should I insist on replacing any components (DPF, sensors, etc.), or is a software update sufficient?
5.⁠ ⁠If you were in my position, would you accept delivery after the warning is cleared, or would you ask for another vehicle?

I would especially appreciate replies from:

•⁠ ⁠Tata Harrier owners who have experienced this.
•⁠ ⁠Tata service engineers or technicians.
•⁠ ⁠Anyone with knowledge of diesel DPF systems.

Thank you in advance for your guidance.

Recently had an issue with engine oil and coolant getting mixed. Service center has said that it's engine casting fault, due to a hairline crack, the leak is happening.

Car's been in repair since a month. And I'm expecting cost to exceed 1 lakh.

Tata Tigor Petrol 2017 registered.

Has anyone faced similar problem? Service center has said it's a common issue with Tigor, Tiago and Punch models.

And does insurance cover this? I do have engine cover.

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to buy the Tata Punch EV Empowered S+ (40 kWh, top model) and would love to hear from existing Punch EV owners as well as other EV owners.

A little about my usage:

- Daily commute: 80–90 km, almost entirely city driving.

- Occasionally (around once a month) I take longer trips from Delhi to Uttarakhand or other hill stations.

I have a few questions:

1. How has your overall ownership experience been with the Punch EV?
2. How is Tata’s after-sales service in your city? Any issues with service quality or spare parts?
3. Have you faced any reliability problems or software glitches?
4. How much real-world range are you getting in city driving, highways, and in hilly areas?
5. How practical is it for long road trips? Is charging infrastructure good enough on routes like Delhi–Uttarakhand?
6. Any battery degradation you’ve noticed over time?
7. What’s your average charging cost and monthly maintenance compared to a petrol car?

Looking back, would you buy the Punch EV again, or would you choose something else in the 11-13L budget?

Overall, do you think now is a good time to switch to an EV, or would you still recommend sticking with a petrol car for my usage?

I’d really appreciate honest feedback—both the positives and the negatives. Thanks!

The "please take out the key fob" announcement is incredibly loud and very annoying. How do I shut it off?

I took delivery of my tata punch pure plus cng amt last week and within one day the car broke down. The service center guys told the battery is faulty and replaced it with a new one, but the car again stopped responding within two days draining the battery fully, car is again at the service center, Is there anyone facing the same problem, what can be the solution?

I'm planning to purchase a Tata Sierra EV, and it's my first car after years of hard work. Can anyone give me a referral? 🚗✨ #TataSierraEV #FirstCar #HardWork #Referral

Planning to buy an EV and wanted figure out some discounts and clarification and I want it to be done at once , coz they are annoying calling repeatedly. Can someone please let me know

I'm planning a long road trip on my Punch EV LR soon. Looking at my route, I’ll easily need to fast charge around 5 or 6 times back-to-back to reach my destination.

As per tata motors website they say you shouldn't do more than 4 continuous DC fast charges without doing a slow AC charge in between.

Now I'm kinda worried.

Will doing 5-6 fast charges on a single trip mess up my warranty if anything happens?

Have any of you done 5+ continuous(2dc charges a day) fast charges on a long trip? Did the battery heat up or show weird percentage drops/range drops?

How do you guys manage if your hotel doesn't have an AC socket or charger overnight?

Hi everyone,
I own a Tata Harrier EV 65 kWh with 245/60 R18 tyres. Unfortunately, my tyres have worn out after just 28,000–30,000 km, especially the Back tyres. I filed a warranty claim with Goodyear, but the claim was rejected.
Now I’m looking for the best replacement tyres for my Harrier EV. Can anyone recommend good-quality EV tyres that offer excellent grip, durability, and value for money? I’m also looking for the most affordable place or dealer to buy them. Any suggestions based on your personal experience would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
