First of all, Thanks Moderator for setting this forum. I am new to
this forum and would be happy to share my experience of Fiat Linea
Petrol Emotion PK FTA that I bought 3 months back.
So far I had good experience until recently I started facing few
issues.
I am based out in Delhi where temperature crosses 45C in summers and I
am having disgusted experience with Linea AC. This does not work at
all as soon as outside temperature reaches 40+ and there is absolutely
no cooling. You get a feeling of being captivated in an oven. On my
repeated complaints to Tata Motors (initially they refused to accept
this complaint because the day I took the vehicle to workshop, it
rained and AC cooling was proper), they did some adjustment by adding
a retrofit kit with 500gm of additional gas inject. This enhancement
has made cooling a little better but not of much use. I also spoke to
Service Manager and his version was that it is a common problem in all
Linea cars and Fiat is coming up with a different modification and all
Linea users would get call from Tata to get this amendment done. Also,
this problem is particularly there in all Petrol Cars. I am pretty
disappointed with their answers and attitude to correct the problem as
I am finding it difficult to drive in this heat. Contacting the Fiat
customer care will only direct to same service center which is of no
use. Please suggest the best possible way to solve this problem and
also share your experience.
Other issues are Low Milage (Mine is giving 10 with AC ON in city),
Interior items seems to be of inferior quality.
Overall, it has not met my expectation since I started using it. My
only reason for opting Linea over Honda City was its features and
value for money.
Comments & Suggestion to overcome the AC issue is welcome.
