Dear Mr. Kapoor,
I have bought a new fiat linea (1.4 petrol emotion pack) from cargo motors at Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. (Engine number:0703594 Chasis Number: MCA11071609003671CQZ)
Withstanding the delay in promised delivery date from Fiat /Cargo, I took the delivery on 21st March. On 27th i.e after only 6 days and around 500 Km of drive, the car gave me trouble on the Ahmedabad Vadodara expressway as all the signals and lights on the dashboard went on and off randomly, the speedometer, rev meter, temperature gauge, fuel gauge went dead or moved arbitrarily and to add to this the airbag failure message also appeared frequently.
