The first time it happened, the odo reading was 540 km. And the second time, the SUV had completed only 640 km in total.<\/h2>\n

Dear friends, I would like to share my experience with my new Tata Safari.<\/p>\n

My 3-month-old Tata Safari has already faced a starting issue twice.<\/p>\n

Incident 1<\/h2>\n

On 30th Oct 2023, when I tried to start the vehicle in my apartment parking lot after 2 days, it gave a beep sound from the engine and did not start. Reached out to the Sales Manager of the Tata dealer from where I purchased the SUV.<\/p>\n

She helped me to request Road Side Assistance and after 4 hours, a mechanic from the dealership came and told me that the battery was not generating power to start the engine. So he did a jump start using the car in which he came and it started. After running for 15 minutes, we tried to restart the car and it fired up normally. Then the mechanic advised me to drop the vehicle at the service station and I did so on the same night.<\/p>\n

They identified the issue as a battery problem and replaced the battery. They confirmed that the dynamo unit that charges the battery is working fine and only the battery was discharging fast. They took 4 days to deliver the vehicle after the replacement. Along with it, they also did the first service.<\/p>\n

Number of km driven when I faced this incident \u2013 Just 520 km<\/p>\n

Incident 2<\/h2>\n

On 14th Nov 2023, when I tried to start the vehicle in my apartment parking after 2 days, the story repeated. This time there was no beep sound but the SUV was not starting and showed a message on the instrument cluster “System error”. This time I directly contacted Road Side Assistance and they are on the way to check what is the issue.<\/p>\n

Number of km driven when I faced the second incident \u2013 Just 640.<\/p>\n

With these incidents, I have started losing confidence in Tata Motors and my love towards the Safari is on the edge.<\/p>\n

Here’s what BHPian TorqueIndia<\/strong> had to say about the matter:<\/p>\n

Where is your parking location? It’s in the basement or what? How about telematics, it’s configured or not in use? Maybe the remote functions are draining the battery, that’s one point to be checked.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Just a thought here – I have seen the following behaviour:<\/p>\n
