Tata Nexon skids off road after tyre detaches, man shares harrowing experience
The incident occurred on December 23, and the ordeal lasted for 28 hours. After a post detailing the incident was shared on X, Tata Motors reacted to it.
A man from Madhya Pradesh detailed a terrifying encounter in which his Tata Nexonskidded off the road after a tyre separated due to a broken wheel hub. X user Tanmay Raju stated that the incident occurred on December 23, as his two friends were driving from Madhya Pradesh's Sidhi to Prayagraj airport in Uttar Pradesh to pick him up. Thankfully, everyone inside the car was safe after the incident.
Later, when the three tried to contact Tata Motors for help, they only faced more issues.
"We faced challenges seeking assistance from Tata Motors, who sent two unhelpful individuals with a towing truck. After a prolonged delay of over six hours, they stated that we needed to arrange a hydra to lift the car back onto the road before they would tow it," wrote Raju in one of his tweets.
He further added, "Left stranded, we endured a harrowing 28 hours in the field, facing cold temperatures without adequate food or water. Disappointingly, Tata Motors later demanded payment for the tow truck despite their lack of assistance." (Also Read: Bengaluru man receives ‘defective’ Tata Nexon from showroom, company responds)
