Serious issues with brand new Mahindra XUV 3X0 MX3 – unresolved after multiple dealership visits

I would not recommend the Mahindra XUV 3X0 MX3 based on my experience so far.

My vehicle has under 10,000 km and is still practically brand new, yet I am already experiencing ongoing technical issues that Mahindra South Africa has not been able to resolve.

Issues experienced:

The radio has no sound and does not switch off, which forces me to disconnect the battery every night to prevent it from draining overnight. This creates serious inconvenience and concern, especially considering that vehicle electronics and the tracker rely on battery power. The vehicle also displays a hill control error, which the dealership has not been able to fix or clearly explain despite multiple visits.

I have already taken the vehicle to the dealership twice, yet I have not received a proper diagnostic report explaining what tests were performed, what faults were identified, or when the issues will be resolved.

In addition to the inconvenience, I am also incurring extra costs for petrol and Uber trips, while the vehicle remains unreliable.

This is extremely disappointing for a new vehicle with such low mileage. I expected a reliable product and efficient after-sales support, but this matter remains unresolved.

I would appreciate urgent intervention and a clear resolution.
