I bought my new Swift VXi in December 2012. With in the first week, I got my first terrible experience of break not working in 1st gear. As I was new to driving I thought it was my mistake of handling it properly...after that it happened thrice in several instances and luckily because of not major speed, I could be able to handle it with hand break.
It caused minor damage front while parking the car. This issue was known to Maruti Company as many buyers have already complained about it. I have to give my car for the service now and ask them check thoroughly and fix the problem.
