Sony India Sony TV 50 inch - Power Issue

Hi Team,

This is Naveen,

I Purchased Sony TV 50 Inches from Vijay Sales

Every 5 minutes TV Turning off and blinking Red light. From one week it's coming like this. Service person came and detected that is an issue and he said they will replace the screen.

But I need a replacement. After purchasing a brand like SONY AND having this issue we are completely disappointed. After replacing rhe screeen also we are not guaranteed that it will work well.

So please replace the new TV unit asap.

We used 32 inch sony tv from past 10 years and we dont have any issue till now that's why we invested 65k for this 55 inch TV. And SONY IS THE BRAND IN INDIA.

WE TRUSTED SONY BLINDLY. But no response till now.

I NEED REPLACEMENT ASAP.

PLEASE TRY TO UNDERSTAND AND RESOLVE THIS ISSUE ASAP.

Note : Please find the attached photos and Bill and warranty Details card

Thanks & Regards

Naveen Kumar

Sony India Television not working and company failed to provide service

I have brought the sony television from Bajaj electronics store in 2017 RS 90,000. Now my television not working and raised complaint with SONy for repair service. Technician visited and saying repair od not possible as parts of the model was stopped by company and requested for exchange. I agreed for exchange but they are giving rs 7,000 exchange value for my old television which costs around 1 lakh. This is rediculous and it is a FRUAD. I sent so emails to sony head office still there was no response from them.

Need help in resolving the issue.

Hi,

My old Tv was oled was replaced because of vertical line was appeared on the screen was replaced with new model A80L, as my new tv is also not working now.

Sony service person as visited our place and examine the tv and he confirmed that power board is lost in tv it is just one month of purchase how can?it happen so soon to get repair.

Same being complained and ask them to refund but till date there is no response from them.

As your technician is clearing mentioned that due to power fluctuations the products got damage as power frequence may low or high in india, so this product is not fit for me.

As your service people promised me while replacement of TV that there won't be any problem for this tv, I trusted your brand blandly but even this Time also u people didnt fulfil ur commitment.

Kindly refund my amount, I have wasted my money by investing 2lakhs 10k on TV, hope my problem will resolve as soon as possible.

Sony India sony bravia led gone bad with panel with in 4 months of purchase, we wants replace entire tv, because there is manufacturing defect,

Regarding Sony care India Our complaint no. Are [protected], [protected], , [protected], [protected], [protected] regarding Sony Bravia led model no. KD-49X7500F serial number 8003671, purchase on 18 the January 2019 within 4 months it has gone bad and technician is saying that LED panel has gone bad. He says they will repair it.

We are loyal customer of SONY all along and we are surprised that a new TV has gone bad so fast within months.which shows that it has manufacturing defect. We request them to replace the entire TV rather then repairing this as there can be other issue which will come up again post repair.

We are not ready to accept any repaired TV. If Sony company value in quality products and services then it must be replaced only. We are extremely dissatisfied with the delay response for replacement of entire LED. They have right to escalate the matter to higher authorities and share the contact details of the senior most person for customer care and C.E.O. but they not respond for this and not provide us C.E.O. contact information and Email I'd, and not replace our Sony LED TV. my email id is [protected]@gmail.com dr sanjay rathi

"Sony scamming me with defective TV"...

Having my trust in SONY products and its After Sales Services, I purchased SONY TV KLV-50W662F on January 18, 2019.
On 28-09-2019, when I switched on my TV, there were a vertical band of lines came on screen. I call toll free number and my complain number was [protected]. The technician of the Service Centre after seeing the screen pics on WhatsApp, advised to bring the TV to Service Centre. Troubleshooting a TV by seeing a picture of WhatsApp is simply fraud and denial of warrantee. Thereafter, a service estimate of Rs. 25883.00 for the replacement of the screen was sent to me.
My TV is under warranty of 1 year as I purchased it on 18-01-2019 but Service Centre said that you have to pay for this repair. It is a false plea of physical damage of Inner Display broken to take it out of warrantee.
I am positive that you will not tarnish your good will and credibility with your SONY loyal customers and save me from unnecessary harassment.

Sony India Sony bravia 42 inch lcd tv

I purchased sony bravia tv model klv40w550a in 2009 dec for inr 95000. 00
Tv developed problem in 2016 march - picture/display
Sony authorised service center took tv to their workshop twice.
On 1st occasion they cleaned the tv and returned. Tv worked for 10 days and again developed same fault.
Again tv was taken to workshop by sony and about a week later they informed that motherboard is faulty.
I deposited advance of rs. 10000. 00 for motherboard.
After about three weeks they informed parts are not available.
On correspondence with sony india on email, they offered that I should purchase a new tv on which sony will offer 20% discount.
This will cost me rs. 75000. 00 more even after discount.
I did not accept the offer and want my tv to be repaired or if parts not available then minimum 50% discount should be offered. Because it is not my fault that sony is not able to repair it.

I should not be penalized for sony's fault.

Sony India LCD not working and part not available with Sony

Hi Team,

I bought a SONY LCD model no-KLV-32NX500 few years ago.
Suddenly, the LCD stopped working. When checked it with Authorised sony service center, they said motherboard is not working of the LCD and it would charge 7500 for this part.
We were okay with paying 7500 for the part as the LCD was out of warranty.

However, then they said the part is not available with SONY.

Now, the LCD is waste for us. The money is a total waste for us.

I just want that SONY should replace the LCD with a new one, if they don't have the part available with them.

This kind of scenario is total an example of not treating customer fairly. I am very unsatisfied with the response of Sony India.

Sony as a brand is the one of the top brands we have cross the world and when you face such kind of issue, then it is very disappointing indeed.

I have attached the repair receipt of the LCD.

Hoping for a positive response, else, I have to go to Consumer court India.

Regards,
Rakesh Gilhotra

I bought a 32" Sony Bravia LCD TV. The picture lack clarity and to me it looks that it is a defective product. I wrote to Sony India several times but failed to get a response. I called Sony India customer service helpline also several times but failed to get a satisfactory response.

I feel that i have been cheated. It is really pathetic that sony india is cheating it's customers.

I would like to contact someone in India and the Sony company that their quality control stinks and should consider retraining their people to do the job right the first time and quit wasting the Americans working class money and time in the US. I could not get any service on my Bravia 46BR4 purchased 6 monthes before, Sony could not get me any service in my area, I had a problem with it on Oct. 2 and haven't seen anyone yet! This is Oct. 17th and no one in my area in Wisconsin will not service it because I didn't buy it from them! What a poor attitude from the furniture and appliance store near my home, now I had to agree to bring this unit to a closer location about 30 miles south of me, Sony has an internal problem with home service for warranties. i have never heard of this in all my years of being a service person myself or consumer, how do we get this resolved and fix the mess we are in with poor consumer treatment and lack of respect for our hard earned money. I'm very angry at the Sony Co. and the people connected to them, you are loosing many customers left and right, get your head on straight and SAVE YOUR REPUTATION NOW!

A very unsatisfied consumer

I have purchased MHC888D model from sony world @ BSk in Jan. In Jun-July I have noticed that the sound is breaking while playing. I have informed the service center and they said that they have replaced 3 ICs to solve the problem. After 1 month the problem is again started and I have again sent me set to the service center. After lying there for abt the month they are not being able to find out the problem and given back the set without fixing it up day before yesterday. Yesterday while playing again the same problem occured.

This is really becoming a headache for me. I have purchased Sony with an impression that it has got the best technology and support. I would like to request the higher authority to look into the matter and arrange for a replacement at the earliest or else I would file the case in the consumer forum.

I am looking for a favorable reply and help me out to solve the issue.

Thanks,
Sanjay Sen

I am facing the same issue with Sony india and their dealer Dayal Infotainment, Shipra mall, Indirapuram, Ghaziabad...I wrote this mail to them 3 weeks ago and I am yet to get any reply on that...so, pathetic service by Sony

Hello,
For last one month, I am suffering from WORST quality of Sony service centre and the callousness & robot type attitude of their call centre ladies..This has all forced me to present my case through this email communication so that appropriate authority could take action on it…if not, I would explore other third party options….Otherwise I am still hopeful Sony service management team is sensitive enough to take action based on it..

The long story but cut short here begins from 26 July’2008…

I purchased a Sony music system (Model no. MHC-GNZ333D) from Dayal Infotainment [Shipra Mall, Indirapuram, Ghaziabad] on July 26’ 2008….I choose Sony over other thinking its product quality might be of superior quality and at least professional service quality….
Within few days of installations, the FM subsystem started giving problems….Randomly it worked fully or didn’t work at all….Surprised at the problem at that very early stage, I did what a normal customer expected to do…Register a complaint at the call centre [req. no. 3145705 dt. 04/08/2008]…Mind you, before that I had followed with the dealer to try to resolve it…
So, as expected the technician came and did numerous times ON/OFF of power switch..and it started working….As the problem was having random nature, I thought it started working though logically I was not convinced with him…He didn’t bother check the system either…

As I was expecting, the problem started coming again…This time I made another request again [3181272 dt 16/08/2008]….The technician came on 20/08/2008 and said there is problem with FM tuner and it would take 3-4 days of time to parts come….I was fine..at least the problem was diagnosed [hopeful]…

Now, the real problem started…

When I made enquiry about the status of my request at call centre [Sony] around 25-26 Aug, the lady said that the parts didn’t come yet…I said how long it will take as I was informed it would take 3-4 days…She said that for single part it might take time as all parts are imported from outside India and probably they would wait till more parts order come to fit in a lot….This was totally unprofessional…Then I requested service manager contact number…She refused to give…..I couldn’t get the answer why?...Is there no way to escalate further from these robot like call centre professional?...

Then I made some personal and background effort to get contact number of one Mr. Naveen (Sony service deptt employee)….So, made a call to him on Aug 28’2008…He said your parts has not yet arrived but there is another same part…He would get done tomorrow…

The technician came after a long waiting (initially the time was fixed at 11:00 AM) at around 4:00 PM on Aug 29’2008 with the NEW part….At least, I am bit happy that now I could enjoy my new system fully which I couldn’t do yet right FRM DAY 1…. But that was not the destiny….The technician discovered that the part was not compatible with the system….Any sensitive person could imagine how would I feel cheated and frustrated with the worst quality of service with so much wastage of my individual productive time waiting for the technician whole day, and calling up all kind of service people to get my problem resolved…..Anyhow, the service centre technician went again to collect another part from dealer….He came with another NEW part and fitted it….Alas! it didn’t work….The technician also said he couldn’t do anything more though he tried very hard…

Now, the every kind of problem-request-resolution cycle has passed with no conclusion except that the part is inherently defective and needs a replacement….I wouldn’t favor any kind of offsite R&D request on the system considering the fact that the system is barley one month old and the problem was coming right from DAY ONE…..So, I request to do necessary action to get the replacement done….

Thanks,
Manish ([protected])

Sony India Complaint in respect of defect in goods / deficiency in service and pray for redressal

I purchased a SONY 42W700B - 42” LED from Great Eastern Appliances Pvt. Ltd. of 66, Syed Amir Ali Avenue, Kolkata - 700019, for Rs. 64900.00 on 08.05.2014 along with a set of TATA SKY for Rs. 2000.00 but I did not receive money receipt / cash memo of TATA SKY for Rs. 1500.00 out of Rs. 2000.00 as yet. On 10.06.2014, Mr. Somnath introduced himself as a service man of SONY INDIA Pvt. Ltd., met me and said that he came here for installation of SONY LED. Mr. Somnath opened the sealed packet of SONY LED and did not install the same due to shortage of parts and informed the affairs to the Service Center of SONY INDIA Pvt. Ltd. I saw a few open packets of SONY LED parts in the hand of Mr. Somnath. I tried to find if any parts inside the packets and found no desirable parts.
On 15.06.2014, I met manager of the Great Eastern Appliances Pvt. Ltd. of 66, Syed Amir Ali Avenue, Kolkata – 700019 and stated the affairs / defect / deficiency of my SONY LED mentioned above and requested him to supply a fresh SONY LED or refund Rs. 64900.00 with interest as early as possible. On hearing, the manager told me that he would not help me in this matter and advised me to contact with the SONY INDIA Pvt. Ltd., A-31, Mohan Cooperative Industrial Estate, Mathura Road, New Delhi - 110044 for remedy.
I wrote a letter dt 30.06.2014 to the SONY INDIA Pvt. Ltd., but no reply has yet been received from the said company. I feel it is a case for cheating.
So I have requested to issue an order for refund of Rs. 64900 along with interest from 08.05.2014 (date of purchase).
It may be mentioned here that I decided to purchase the same for the purpose of World Football game.
I hereby declare that the facts stated in the representation are true to the best of my knowledge, belief and that the complaint is not pending before any court of law.
Thanking You,

Sony India Sony Bravia 40# TV with faulty component

In April 2011, I purchased 40" Sony LED TV form Sony Center Noida.
Model No: KDL-40EX520 IN5
Serial No: 2420785

In Number 2011 i.e. just 9 months after the purchase, the TV started to show negative images. After repeated calls to customer care, a Sony execute visited and diagnosed the mother board to be faulty and promised to get it changed in two days but after lot more calls and complains it was replaced in more than a week. The story of horrible experience doesn't end there, In December 2012, i.e. 13 months after the motherboard replacement same problem surfaced again. This time executive came next day of the call and diagnosed the problem to be same and asked us that motherboard will cost around Rs. 9000. If same problem is persisting again and again, then it means the component is faulty and company knows it but neither their customer care executive, nor service executive is willing to acknowledge it. I was simply told that my complain can be registered and TV can be repaired if I am willing to pay.
Selling a product with faulty component on a premium price and then refusal to accept the fault and forcing the customer to pay tantamount to cheating. These practices will take the Sony India down the drain and company will suffer the same fate here as in US and Europe.
Currently my TV is at Sony Service Center and I don't know how much I need to pay to get it back.
My current complain no is: [protected].

My advice to all the people of India will be to stay away from Sony products.

Dear All - Even I have faced similar issue with my EX52 model which is off 3.4 years old, all of sudden green color appeared. I have sent 2 e-mails to Sony India and few mgnt people abroad, I haven't got any proper answer/response from Sony. I am really sorry to say but after investing 64, 000 INR I am asked to replace the display panel which is of 23k. Again I haven't received any proper answer for failure. Please don't buy atleast Sony Televisions in near future.

I have the similar problem after 2 years. It seems to be a common problem for SONY LED. We purchase SONY brand not only for best quality but reliability as well. But there seems a big big manufacturing defect which is getting banged on customers. Repair is also too costly which makes really dissatisfied though I do not find a way out than repairing from your service centre. I am planning to get it repaired and then sell it off.

I have a similar problem as the mentioned ones. I had purchased Sony 40 inch LED EX52. in earl from one of the dealers in bangalore. The TV functioned well till 1.5 year from the purchased date. after that I started facing problem and went to the worst extent. The colour started diminishing now we are just seeing the faint picture with yellow Colour across the display area.We are cursing for buying such a TV .Complaints were raised With the dealer and the sony call centre. The team inspected just to tell that the display panel has to be replaced. I was shocked to know how could such a thing happen in just 2 years after investing money in such a top brand product. I need a sensible reply to This mail. I hope sony india understands the situation and should rePlace the Faulty units. Now

Hi Sony India,
I am facing the same issue with my EX52 40" TV. It has been more than 2yrs..i was enjoying the picture quality.. Just 2 months back i just lost the picture and i can see only 40% of the picture perfectly and all the rest are completely hazy. Contacted service centre and they have advised me to replace the LED panel. But again as i understand from this forum, this is not just a one time issue and i am
not the only victim. All the yrs i have been a great fan/advocate of Sony for its quality. Now not sure if it will be worth to replace the Panel, if it is going to give me the same problem in another yr or two. Since the Panel is very costly, Probably the alternative will be look out another brand new model... But again Sony live in our sentiment now and it is difficult now to move out from Sony. Can you pls kindly suggest how best you can help me if at all ? Any quick response may be a good help. Thx & Regd - Lipun Mohapatra

Deficiency in service
Request for refund
Please allow me bring to your kind attention harassment, mental agony caused by supplying reconditioned defective TV - under warranty up to July 2012 and indifferent, careless, callous, evasive attitude of SONY service team towards its customers.

I purchased a SONY TV. It had defective BG2BOARD . After protracted follow-up, Sony India replaced defective TV and vide Bill No.[protected] dated 12.5.11 charged Rs.23, 632 towards repair/replacement of defective LCD.
At the time of installation itself, TV supplied by SONY vide Bill No.[protected] dated 12.5.11, it was brought to the notice of technician that there is problem in sound output. SONY INDIA. reacted that ' Itni Problem Nahin Hai' There is not much of problem. In other manner they agreed that there is problem in sound output. We were not reconciled why a new LED TV should have any problem with sound output.
We also requested SONY INDIA to please check the problem and incase TV set had some defect to replace it. There was no response from SONY.
However, instead of flaring up the matter, we consoled ourselves and reconciled with the quality of voice.
Subsequently, Newpaper reports appeared about defect in LCD TVs supplied by Sony.It seems there is manufacturing defect in all the TVs supplied by SONY. But Sony instead of accepting the defect is indulging in denial and charging/fleecing its customers towards exorbitant repair charges.
TV supplied by SONY developed same problem as that was in the old TV. Complaint complaint no.9552285 Dated 4.3.2012. followed by letter 5th March, 2012 was made. Service engineer advised that B- Board needs replacement. SONY informed that it will be repaired.
Not satisfied with repairs to a brand new TV which is giving trouble, May I request you to please intervene and take necessary action on priority to take back defective TV and refund Rs. 91, 632 at the earliest.

Sony India FACING PROBLEM DUE TO SELLING OF DEFECTIVE BRAVIA TV BY SONY INDIA

NOIDA
9.8.2011
Dear Sony India Ltd.
On 30.7.2011, my Sony Television, Model No. KLV 32T400A, Serial No. 1226192 purchased on 20.9.2009 from your authorized dealer M/s Rhythem House, Sector-18, Noida-201301, U.P. developed a problem in sound as well as in feature on the screen. Immediately I wrote a mail to sonyindia.[protected]@ap.sony.com on 30.7.2011 & my complaint is registered at no.7873836. Your representative Mr. Dharmendra Kumar, Phone No.[protected] visited the house on 1.8.2011 & told that Mother board of TV has got problem & is required to be replaced at cost of consumer & went with the copy of purchase bill. Waiting for the response from the customer care, I once again submit my complaint on 2.8.2011 at sonyindia.[protected]@ap.sony.com, [protected]@am.sony.com & [protected]@info.sel.sony.com which is registered as complaint no.7893131.
On 3.8.2011, your representative Mr. Jitendra Kumar, phone no. [protected] informed me the estimate of Rs.6500 (Approx) for replacement of mother board in three or four days. He also denied to give me the direct contact no. or email ID of any responsible officer of SONY INDIA .
I have also submitted my complaint to Mr. Vinish Ahuja at customer care no. [protected] on 3.8.2011 at 6.20 P.M. & he ensured me that my complaint shall be shorted out at the earliest, but is regretted to inform you that no one has turned up till 8.8.2011 and least bother about the difficulty / harassment being faced by me & my family without any fault of mine.
In addition to above, it is also necessary to inform you that Panel of the my TV detailed above has already been replaced by SONY in July 2010 & as TV is a durable product & generally used for years together i.e. more than 10-15 years but it is very strange to experience that just after one year from previous replacement of Panel, another important component of my TV i.e. Motherboard is requiring replacement. It is not possible to believe that how the two main / major component i.e. Panel & Motherboard of new product of reputed brand like SONY have developed defect & required replacement with in a short span of 11months & 22 months of purchase respectively.
The above incident has created the doubt that either we have been given already defective piece or repaired piece by your dealer. You will appreciate that consumers buy the SONY product believing its quality by default at the higher prices than the other similar product available in the market but now it seems that quality of the SONY is being compromised at the cost of consumer’s faith & cost & if such type of quality problem will be faced by the consumer, Brand value of Sony will be erode drastically.
It gave a momentary pleasure to me on 8.8.2011 at 5.49PM when I received a call from phone no.+[protected] from Ms Vineeta Tyagi, regional Customer care Incharge-North. My hopes for the solution of my problem were ended when Ms Tyagi shown her inability to replace the product /part free of cost, meanwhile she offered the replacement of defective part i.e. mother board on paying an amount of Rs.4878/- saying as special price.
I beleive that, myself is suffering from the poor quality product of SONY INDIA. You will appreciate that Product like Television is generally purchased as durable product in India which is used for 10-15 years but it seems that there is a hidden agenda of SONY India to convert the durable product into consumable product by selling poor quality products. It appears that SONY India provides the warranty of durable product like television as one year under a hidden policy which means that company is maintaining such quality of their products which could be run smoothly for one year only to get rid of replacement of product.
I saw a slogan of SONY "Believe that anything you can imagine, you can make real" But it is regretted to say that my experience with Sony is just Opposite to the quote & I will described as " Believe that anything you can not imagine, Sony product can make it real''
I am really feeling disturbed & frustrated by the attitude of the SONY INDIA LTD . It seems that company is merely interested in making the profits by selling the Pathetic products on higher prices & leaving the consumer on the mercy of GOD.
Now I request you, kindly look in to the matter immediately & get the product replaced with the new one or refund my money keeping the faith alive in the consumers about the quality products of SONY otherwise the consumer /customer will have to think twice or thrice before buying the SONY PRODUCTS.

Deficiency in service
Request for refund
Please allow me bring to your kind attention harassment, mental agony caused by supplying reconditioned defective TV - under warranty up to July 2012 and indifferent, careless, callous, evasive attitude of SONY service team towards its customers.

Sony India Improper humiliating response

On 2'th June'011, I went to sony ramnagar road showroom at 2:30 P:M. I enquired about camera HX100v and offered to pay advanceto get it. I told him that it has been launched in india. He told me to get print from the net. I asked him to contact company and ask. He called somebody but I think even he was unaware. So this chap at showroom started insulting me that you must be enquiring about some old discarded model, and started laughing at me. I asked for complaints book, but that was not given. I asked him his name, he refused and started threatning that I will see what you do.
Since past three days, I have been trying tloofree no. from mobile & landline, but every time I get the message that it is incorrect. On trying delhi number, repeatedly, somebody told me that a call will be arranged, but I am still waiting. Is Sony not wanting to sell anything, why are people at showrooms so hostile and fuu of such superiority complex as if they are the kings and we are begging them to please sell us sony products as alms. please reform your policies and bea bit consumer friendly. How can we expect to get services if we are not treated nicely at time of purchasing.

Sony India Do not change my LCD

To,
The Managing Director
Sony India
Delhi

Dear Sir,
I’m Anand Misra. On 24 April 2010 I bought SONY BRAVIA LCD EX500 from Jumbo electronics, Noida. But now a day’s I’m facing some problems with my LCD. In Jan11 LCD power light has been changed. Now some “tric- tric” types of sound is coming in my LCD and sometimes when we change the channel “Tic” sound comes. I complained regarding this problem to customer care. They send their engineer. But as above I mentioned that the sound not comes frequently. So when engineer visited outhouse that sound doesn’t occurs at that time. So the problem is as it is.
On Friday I had a call from your executive Mr. Sarbjeet. And he asked some questions about the technical problem of my LCD. After asking about the problem he said he would call back to me after an hour. But till now I didn’t have any call from his side. On Monday when I call again to customer care they said they connect me with Mr. Sarbjeet on the same day. But until now, still I’m waiting for his call. So, today again I call in customer care and the feedback was very awful from their side and I’m not satisfied with your responses till the date. Now tell me what is my fault? I think this is the biggest fault of mine to by SONY LCD, Isn’t it?
I had bought this LCD just b’coz of its brand name and if such reputed brand giving me this type of problem then to whom I can trust? My LCD has been opened while in warranty period, which was very unpleasant experience for me. Now I just don’t want to open it again. I just want to replace my LCD with new one as soon as possible or I want my money back, which is the last option you left for me.

Thanks
With Warm regard
Anand Misra

Sony India A Junk TV Set Purchased for Rs. 83000/-

The Managing Director
Sony India

Sir,

Please refer to my numerous unattended complaints registered with the customer care helpline (Comp No. 7158772, 23.03.2011) and several mails (ref no. 7183021 and 7158774) and letters addressed to you in respect of the malfunctions (Hazy/ Blurred picture and non uniform distribution of the backlight over the surface area of the panel) exhibited by the TV set (40EX720) I purchased from Sabharwal Electronics Dwarka Delhi 0n March 19, 2011.
An engineer Mr. Tikkoo visited my premises on 27/03/2011 to examine the TV set and explicitly agreed to my complaints that the back light intensity on the panel is highly heterogeneous owing to which the picture quality is very poor, smoky and hazy in patches. He asked me to request the company to provide refund as this particular model of TV is newly launched with new circuitry and all TV sets of this model are governed by these facts, hence replacing the TV would not solve the problem. He asked me to provide the photocopy of the invoice and the warrantee card which I did with alacrity.
May I mention here that in no case I am interested to get the refund as I needed a good TV for entertainment? However, the pathetic picture quality of the TV I bought for Rs. 83000/- frustrates me and my family members and I repent on my decision of buying a Sony TV. Furthermore the boorish attitude of the service department of Sony India has aggravated my miseries.
I therefore request you to intervene into the matter and arrange to pave the way to end the miseries I am suffering at the hands of Sony India. Kindly replace the Tv with some other model as 40EX720 has faults mentioned above not by me only but by your engineer Mr. Tikkoo also.

Yours sincerely

Sony India Delay in Supply of Adapter

My name is Mandip Singh and I am from Phase 7 Mohali. An order for a new ac adapter type L-15 for Sony Hanycam DCV TRV 285E was placed by me at Modern electronics, SCO 126-127, Sector 34 A, Chandigarh on 28 August 2010. I had paid Rs 500/- advance for the same.

I was promised that the adapter would be provided by 5 days or latest by 10 days in case of some delay.

However, they have been unable to supply the same to me even on 02 October 2010.

This kind of delay is definitely uncalled for, especially from a company with such a repute.

Can the company be approached for speedy delivery of the same as I am unable to use my handycam due to faulty adapter held with me.

Sony India Poor Customer Service

Dear Sir,

Hope your problem has been resolved and you don’t face any more problems with Sony products.

Regards,
Sony India Team.

In response to the above mail I received from Sony India I am shocked to read the contents. It is apparent that you have not verified the facts and have replied in a very casual manner which compells me to believe that the concept of customer satisfaction is loosing ground in your organisation. It was only after I had exhausted my efforts at the local level that the matter was ultimately reffered to you. I am still awaiting the fate of my complaint in writing. If you are not adequately empowered to deal with such situations kindly let me know the name of the authority and his/her address so that I can approach for redressal before embarking on other options available to a customer.

Dear Sir,

This is to bring to your kind notice that I have purchased ‘BRAVIA LCD’ 32’ Inches Model No. 32BX350, Serial No. 3356296 on dated 01.03.2013. Approximately 2.5 years have been passed and there was no complaint against the above mentioned product. But some days back my BRAVIA LCD stopped working and the visual was totally lost. I called the customer care and my complain was registered wide complaint no. [protected] on dated 16.02.2016 and on the same day company representative visited my place and checked it. I was informed by him that ‘Panel’ of my ‘BRAVIA LCD’ is not working and it has to be change and to purchase the new panel. After investigating, I found that the Panel is of Rs. 15, 000/- inclusive of all taxes.
Sir, the panel is too costly for me. It is impossible for me to afford. I have been the regular customer of SONY and have purchased 3 LCD and my most of the electronic appliances are of the same company.
So, you are requested to kindly provide us any alternative method so that I can survive this financial crisis.

Hi Sir/Mam, I Mohit Thapar is suffering from a big flaw in your handset Xperia Z2 which i bought on 6th of June 2014, got it replaced in 20 days and then again new device with the same hardware issue but no response from either Sony Care or Sony service centre as both the departments just reply that they don't have the power to take a call and keep shifting the responsibility on each other.

As you can see from the service number 1-[protected], still i will again explain the whole story in this mail and will attach the required proof for the same as below.

I bought SONY Xperia Z2, on 6th of June 2014 worth 48, 500 Rupees (Biggest Mistake) which had some hardware issue which i realized within 2 days of using it and i had to submit my brand new device @ Sony Authorized Service centre (Rohini, Delhi) JP Electronics Rohini, They told me that i will get my new handset within 7 days at max, and i had to just wait without any phone for not 7 but 17 irritating days which involves continuous calling at service centre and getting even more frustrated as they dint have any information about the arrival.

I got my handset on 24th of June, finally i thought the problems will go and i can actually see the BEST EVER SMARTPHONE MADE BY SONY, but exactly after 1 day, the same problem came and i again had to report it to the sony care on 26th of June as this time i dint want to wait for another 20 days for another changed device, i kept requesting the Sony care to give me the privilege to keep my present handset till the time i get a new one (after all i had paid Aprox 50 k rupees for a smartphone. But due to no proper support from either of the department, i kept using the faulty product and waiting for the support from Sony.

Till today i haven't got any response for the same and when i went to the Sony service centre this time again, they checked my device and they agreed on the hardware issue plus a new hardware problem of shaky body and some funny noise in the back and side panel of the phone (Agreed by Sony service center) but they told me the only thing which can be done is repairing your phone as they cant change it as due to the delay from Sony care the time frame is more than 7 days now.

Wow amazing, this is Sony what we know as about? This is how you exploit your customers? Amazing customer support and after sale service, i think even micromax is much better in dealing their customers.

This time round, if i don't get a proper response and support, the next step will be 1) consumer forum 2) exploiting the service and all on social media like Facebook and Sony official site with all the proofs i have.

I am not a fool paying 50k rupees and then getting my phone repaired and then using, haha, wow this sounds amazing in itself.

I have attached the pictures of the conversation with the Sony care and the date specifically shown in the picture to prove my problem lied within the very 1st day i got a returned handset.

Please can you do something about it or only filling a legal complaint against the company is the last choice left? And mind you, i am a regular Sony user from past 15 years and this behavior and response is seriously not acceptable from Sony, i haven't till date tried to public-ally exploit this issue via Facebook or blogs etc, but i think this is the only choice left to me.

Mind you, i have highlighted the words like SONY and best ever smartphone to indicate the boosting by the company for their product which is with all sort of problems and flaws, its amazingly beautifully disguised smartphone with all the hardware issues in it .

Please i am requesting for the last time, respond and support properly and arrange some call back and a proper resolution or escalate it to higher authority

Hi,

I purchased Sony Bravia LED TV Model number - KDL - 32Ex420 on 25th Dec 2011 from Sahni Agencies Pvt. Ltd. (Shop No. 248, IInd Floor, Ambience Mall Gurgaon).
The dealer had provided provide me wrong remote control i.e. he had provided remote control of LCD TV instead of LED TV. I had already visited over many times, but he isn’t providing correct remote control.
Also i had called up your customer care helpline [protected] for the same issues to register a complaint regarding this issue. But to my dismay the CCE (Shashank) over their denied to register a complaint regarding the issue. When the call was transferred to supervisor on my request, the supervisor (Jaiprakash) talked in very rude & derogatory manner & denied to help in any manner. Also when i asked his designation he replied that he won’t answer any stupid question & denied to reveal his designation.

I can’t understand is this the way you treat your customers?

I would like to strongly condemn the way your customer care people handles the customers. If possible try to listen to the call, you must come to know the ground realities of the services that you are providing to your customers.

Date Of Purchase – 25-12-2011
Invoice Number – [protected]
SR. No. – 2463427

Pls help to provide me correct remote control & take appropriate action against Shashank & Jaiprakash.

Dear Mr Abdullah,
First of all the bags that are provided free with the laptop are not Sony's responsibility at all.I myself own a sony VAIO and there is no such provision in the company that provides free cases or bags with the laptop. The retailers such as Vijay Sales add these bags as freebies with the products and hence you would need to complain to Vijay Sales only. Sony is in no way to be held responsible.

Yes Its a difference in culture because whenever I made any purchese of Samsung Product I got a call from Sumsang Very next day only..
They call & just inform how the product is all about & how to use it easily.. This is called customer service & aftersales service, ,

I am complaining to SONY because not even a single call or email Sony send to me for atleast feedback as a new customer.. I am complaining because Vijay Sales Executive told me that Sony had not provided them the bags from their side because its a new product ..

Hello Sir !
I am a proud customer of Sony Notebook.
& I am very much satisfied with the service of my Laptop but I am not at all convinced with the Retail Outlets of Sony,
I have purchased my sony Vaio Pocket Notebook from Vijay Sales( Mira Bhayander Road, Mira Road (E), Thane) on 5th March 2011 & since that day calling regularly to Vijay Sales Outlet to collect my Laptop Bag for which they had promised me one week time to deliver the bag at my residence but not getting any response at all from their side. I called several times to the outlet & every time they take one weeks time for the bag & I am still waiting.. I have purchased one laptop Bag from outside Computer shop but its big in size & because my notebook is smaller it keeps moving inside the bag from one side to other..
I also informed them that I am mostly on roaming & require the bag to carry my notebook, , But thanks to such a pathetic Service, Scratches are almost everywhere visible on my Notebook..
If Sony don’t have any value for their customers I am sure they will be very soon come down to the level which they actually deserve “At least in Customer Service”
I am still waiting for the feedback calls from Sony which we normally receive when we buy any new product from any X, Y, Zee company..
I am sure I will not receive any feedback from Sony guys as well but this is my last try because I am exhausted by running behind Retail Outlet..
At least take this as a feedback, , Not a good one but to improve a bit..
Thank you Sony, ,
Your Not so Valuable Customer, ,

This is to bring to your notice that I have raised complaint on 31st August 2010 regarding Sony home theatre. Today is 13th September and still I am waiting for resolution. Person from Sony service center came to my home and told me that we need to bring this to our service center and commited to return the same within two-three days. And after 3 days when I call back to service center contact number they told me we need to send it to main service center.

My concern is that if they were not in position to solve the complaint then why should they kept it with theire service center ? Why should they were waiting for my call ? And still I don't know status of my home theatre. This is not acceptable from company like Sony.

Note: Now this complaint is one month old now and still I am waiting for resolution .

Kindly give me email address of higher authority sony india. I have received mail from sony customer care that you will shortly get call from our representive but no call receive till date.

Hi,

Let me first introduce myself. I am Dr Sunil Khijwania, Professor at Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati.

I purchased Sony DVD music system (Model number MHCRV 88D, SL number 3161741) worth Indian rupees 23, 200 on 09/10/2005 from Ms Bharali Brothers Pvt Ltd, Guwahati, Assam, INDIA. They delivered this item at home. I asked them to check the system. As they were not having any DVD along with them, they said that they would be back next very day with DVD and check the system. They visited me after a few days with DVD and checked the system only to learn that system was not playing DVD properly. It was playing it bit by bit with a delay in between. They confirmed the problem and said that they will report to the owner (Mr Arpan Bharali) of Ms Bharali Brothers Pvt Ltd. I asked them that I do not want defected system and you please replace this one with another one, which is working properly. This matter was reported to Mr Arpan Bharali (son of the owner of the showroom and showroom in-charge that time).

Mr Arpan Bharali, from whom I bought this system, said that he needed to complete some formalities before replacing the system. He said that SONY engineer from SONY Service Center, Guwahati will visit me and check the system in order to get it replaced. Then SONY engineer visited my house and opened the DVD music system. He checked the system and observed the same problem while playing DVD. He reported this matter to Mr Arpan Bharali. Afterwards, Mr Arpan Bharali agreed to replace the system. He said that he has already taken a replacement for my system and would send the new one along with refrigerator (LG make) I bought from them (which was also defective and needed to be replaced).

Getting the same refrigerator model took lot of time. However I was relaxed for my SONY DVD music system, as Mr Bharali has already told me that they have a new replacement system for me. In the mean time, the main owner and father of Mr Arpan Bharali, Mr Nayan Bharali, having some problem with his son Mr Arpan Bharali (who was the showroom in-charge till then) replaced him with his elder son Mr Alloy Bharali. Mr Alloy Bharali now took the charge of the their shop. When I contacted him, he denied for the replacement of my music system. It made me very upset. He said that he could only repair the system. I said, I bought a brand new system, why should I accept refurbished one or the one, which had problem since beginning? But he did not listen to me. I made so many calls to him and visited many of the times to explain him the entire situation (it was very painful to me), I even talked to his father and the main owner Mr Nayan Bharali also regarding this mater and requested them to talk to his younger son and previously in-charge of their shop, Mr Arpan Bharali, to get the whole idea about my case. Both refused to even listen me straightforwardly or to talk to Mr Arpan Bharali; and started behaving very rudely. This all further took a lot of time (over the year). I was having no option to return the SONY DVD music system to him.

On 01.03.07, they took the SONY DVD music system from my house to repair and fix the problem, which I never agreed in principle. Around 3 months after they did send the system to me saying that now system works properly as all the problems are fixed. Their own staff, who came to deliver the system to my home, when checked the system in front of me, found that the problem still remained the same. I said to his staff that you better take this system back to Mr Bharali and tell them to replace it with new un-defected one. Since then I made numerous calls (in hundreds or more than that) and visited numerous times to their showroom (it is worth to mention that my institute, IIT, is located around 35 km away from Mr Bharali’s showroom), but no result. They always said that they had sent the system to SONY service center in Guwahati and the problem is being fixed. Finally once again Mr Alloy Bharali, one fine day, sent the system back to my home with his staff and told me that system is playing DVD properly and there is no problem. However, once again, when their staff checked the system even with so many DVDs, the problem was still the same, which was there since beginning. He took the system back to their showroom.

Again started my mental/physical harassment by this vendor (Ms Bharaly Brothers Pvt Ltd). I made numerous visits, which was very very difficult in the light of my academic profession commitments and the distance needed to cover to reach to their showroom from my institute. I also made countless calls to them for my system, but all in vain. At the end when I visited last year (07) in December to their showroom, I met to senior Bharali (Mr Nayan Bharali, main owner of the showroom) and virtually pleaded him to look into my case, talk to his younger son Mr Arpan Bharali to understand the whole issue. He then promised me that he will personally look into this matter and asked me to give him a week time. After 2 weeks when I visited him, he spoke to me very rudely and told me that do not approach me for this matter any more, talk to my elder son Mr Alloy Bharali. I felt very bad and humiliated. Having no option, I spoke to his elder son Mr Alloy Bharali. To my surprise he started talking to me that “I am doing my best and putting money from my pocket to get your system repaired”. I said, you need not to put money from your pocket but to replace the system. But he did not agree to me and insisted to repair the system. Once again, this resulted in many calls from my side and visit to their showroom. On one such visit to their showroom by me, he again said that the system is fixed and I am going to deliver it at your home. I said you bring it in your showroom from SONY service center and check it here in front of me. I waited till the system was brought from service center to his showroom. His staff checked the system in front of him as well as me, the problem remained the same as in beginning. System was not playing DVD properly; it was playing it bit by bit with a delay in between. I got very upset and asked him that this is a big harassment-mental as well as physical. The purpose I bought the system is lost now. Do replace this system with a new one immediately, which is having no defects otherwise I need to look for some other option. But still, no result from their side. Since then, the system is with them.

Please do understand the agony, frustration and harassment I have gone since the date of purchase (09/10/05) by the hand of Bharali Brothers, a SONY product dealer. This is now almost 3 years. I shall request you to penalize Bharali Brothers Pvt Ltd from your side and do snatch the dealership of your company items. Further do replace the system to me at the earliest. I have all the proofs with me.

Best regards
Sunil Khijwania

I fully agree with Dr. Sunil. No product can be considered as good good unless fully supported with quality after sales services, which is reasonably poor in case of SONY products in our country.
"It takes hour to get a Customer but takes only a second to lose" .

I also experiencing a horrifying experience on Sony Hi-Fi Music system. They know all the tricks to misguide the customer with wrong promises on their products.

The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.

Sony India Poor sound quality

I purchased a sound system model no. MHC-GNZ888D of sony brand which is known for customer satisfaction beyond expectations. But it seems that company is more flexible to profit orientation than customer satisfaction. The sound quality is very poor in instrumental or metallic sound. Now, I want either replacement of this model with superior models on payment of difference amount or attach extra speakers to provide the required sound effect if not free then on payment. If company fails to resolve my problem, it will lose its goodwill for bona fide customers like me & so on. If company rules & regulations do not allow this, please rectify it for your goodwill of customer satisfaction orientation beyond expectations. Hoping positively.

Hi,
I do not know if any one ever read this complaints or comment inspite of writing twice regarding problem with my home theatre and your engineers no one had ever followed up. I have home theatre DAV120K intially i got error pushpower protector and i call your customer service engineer came and he said problem with the IC or AC cheap and they have to replace and charged me good RS. 3500. When they delivered it after a repair still i was having a problem my speakers were going out rather front speaker and center speaker were not working. So i called your engineer who came and said there is problme with my wiring which i got it checked with 2 separate electrician who said no problem with the wiring so i called your engineer again who than said it is problem with the system IC OR AC cheap again he took the system. After he delivered the system we got it checked in front of your engineer and just because your engineer didn't repair the IC or AC problem my woofer got affected and now ur engineer is telling me to replace the woofer cost me RS. 5000/-. Your engineers are solely responsible for the this as they did not repair the system properly my woofer and center speaker got affected and are not working properly now. And mind you that my system is just 1 year old. Intially i use to promote sony to all my family and friends now I DON'T THINK SO WOULD EVER DO THAT MISTAKE. And when ever call your customer service your engineers or managers are list bother. And i want a replacement of the woofer and center speaker without any extra cost. It is just because you did not hired a good enginner to take care of the product why should i pay for there mistake. Sony being such a big brand and this product and service don't seems to be a good picture
