He however recalls two incidents when the car had stopped working. The first incident happened at his home. The Nexon EV was not charging and it was left with 10 percent charge only. This is a known fault in Nexon EV and many owners have come forward with similar issues in the past. The reason behind this issues was mud. The locking mechanism of the charger connector on the Nexon EV was not working properly as there was mud accumulated in it. Tata sent their staff and got the vehicle picked up from the customer’s house. The car was loaded on a flatbed and was taken to the service centre.

Owner mentions the service centre did not replace any parts instead they cleaned it and since then the issue has not occurred again. The next problem with the Nexon EV had occurred when he was travelling to Kochi from Pathanamthitta district. He mentions that it was raining on that day and as he mentioned that as he was driving, a error notification came on to the screen and the car immediately went to Neutral. Owner tried putting it back in Drive mode but, the car was not responding. This issue happened on the road thankfully there were less vehicles on the road as it was night time.

He then got in touch with Tata’s road side assistance and they took the car to the nearest service centre. He then got a call from the service centre after two days saying that, they would need around 2 weeks to completely check and resolve the issue. Another reason they mentioned for the delay was the availability of parts. They howevr resolved the issue immediately. The owner was told that moisture was found in one of the component which could have got in when he was driving in the rain. This was another issue that he faced with Tata service centres. He mentions that the service centres do not have many parts of the EV readily available and it takes weeks for them to arrange it. This ruins the overall service experience. The owner however mentions that Tata’s customer service has improved a lot. In both the incidents, he response from the service centre was fast and timely update was also given to the owner. Other than this, owner faced no major issues and he is happy with the vehicle and the customer support.
