r/TataNexon

I own a Tata Nexon purchased in July 2024 and the car has run only around 22,000 km.
Recently, the car started showing an “F” symbol on the cluster during startup and I noticed abnormal transmission behavior. After diagnosis at the service center, I was informed that the DCT/DCA gearbox has failed completely and requires full gearbox replacement.
Diagnostic observations mentioned:
“Clutch 2 actuation pressure below target”
DCT/DCA gearbox failure
Complete gearbox replacement recommended
I’m honestly surprised because:
The car is barely 2 years old
No major abuse/off-roading done
Mostly regular city/highway driving
I wanted to know from other Tata DCA owners:
Has anyone faced complete gearbox failure this early?
Was Tata supportive with warranty approval?
After replacement, did the issue come back again?
Does the replaced gearbox get fresh warranty coverage or continue under original vehicle warranty?
Anything specific I should verify before accepting delivery after replacement?
Also, what documents should I collect from the service center to ensure the replacement is officially recorded properly?
Would appreciate experiences and suggestions from anyone who dealt with Tata DCA gearbox issues. UK

Please suggest a good car cover for nexon.

Hi all my budget was 9 lakh but confused if i should stretch it to 11.5 lakh to get nexon.
Or get punch pure plus variant.

My use is in pune city 4 times a week
and 2-3 times a month i might have long drives on highway (less than 100km trip).
Once in 4 months can make long trip of 600km.

I dont want to regret later due to performance.
This is my first car.

Finally Book Creative DCA. Waiting for the delivery. As per salesperson they will provide in next 10 days.

Hi , I am planning to buy Tata nexon creative petrol manual , I have got 10.5 on road ( noida) as a final offer , please tell if this is the best offer or should I bargain more.
Thanks in advance !!

I own a tata punch automatic petrol now. I was looking for another car with similar features and ended up with Nexon. I need an EV this time and looked through the available options. I'm forced to go for empowered 45 instead of creative 45/ fearless 45 because of cruise control. Empowered 45 has unnecessary features like front parking sensor, sunroof etc which I don't really want but cruise control is available in this variant. I'd love to hear from the owners about the below aspects.

1. What kind of issues have you ran into?

2. What's the worst issue you've faced in your car?

3. What do you love the most about your car?

4. How do you manage charging? What's the ideal time taken to charge fully?

5. Charging best practices.

6. If you take it on long rides, how is the charging infra in the places you've travelled to?

7. Do you get used to the quiteness inside the car? I test drove it and it was disturbingly quite, doesn't feel like I'm driving.

8. How does the speed affect battery range?

9. What is the range in different modes?

10. Anything else you'd want your fellow nexon EV owners to know.

Hello folks! after lot of considerations with e20 e 85 and what not I booked nexon diesel creative costing 13.5.

I considered brezza petrol victoris vxi and creta but called off due to budget.

Cancelling brezza as we have two already in family.

Is it a good decision?

Just one thought are the diesel nexon problem free like brezza?

Looking at online reviews the nexon is a bit low side on reliability.

3xo is good but can't afford it with features that I am seeking.I am already stretching the budget for diesel variant and I don't want the cng variant for nexon.

First post..so sorry for mistakes.

I own a Tata Nexon since 5 years with run of 25,000 km. Last year I faced an engine overheating issue once, and now again this year I got overheating warning along with sludge/oily contamination forming in coolant reservoir.

Tata service center has quoted the following:

Radiator – ₹10,500

Coolant bottle – ₹4,000

All hose pipes – ₹13,000

Thermostat valve – ₹4,500

Thermostat pipe – ₹1,000

Oil cooler – ₹4,500

Oil cooler ring – ₹1,000

Labour for coolant/oil mixing flushing & repair – ₹17,000

Total comes around ₹55k–60k.

I want to know from experienced owners/mechanics:

Are these charges reasonable or inflated?

Should I get second opinion from independent garage?

Would appreciate honest advice before approving repair work.
