While the film is rife with chilling scenes that have etched themselves into the collective memory of audiences, one particular sequence stands out in its terrorizing glory: the elevator scene.

And those of you who prefer the wheeled variety will be happy to know that I’ve got a great four-wheeled monstrosity coming next week.

And when I arrived, I was told that I had to climb seven flights of stairs, because the elevator had broken. I just didn’t…

The mishandling of cars of customers by authorized service centres is not a new thing, as we have come across many such situations in which the customers are either duped with erratic or tampered vehicles or their cars are not handled properly during service schedules. However, it is surprising that even after such numerous incidents, it looks like carmakers and their authorized sales and service outlets are not learning a hard lesson. Here is an example that shows a Tata Nexon EV customer is being harassed by an…
