[Resolved]  Hitachi AC (ACe) Split Unit — poor service

My AC indoor unit has been leaking ever since the season started.
It took 10 days and many phone calls to have someone attend to my problem, =
and I was assured that after servicing there would be no leakage.
Unfortunately, it became worse and after another round of many many complai=
nts (kindly see the complaint nos at the end of the mail), 8 days of missin=
g office waiting for someone to turn up to fix the problem, finally the tec=
hnicians who came at three different occassions, told me that THIS WAS A MA=
NUFACTURING DEFECT=A0 and could not be rectified.
After much persuation, the unit was removed.
I have been regretting buying a hitachi ac, as even in this hot weather, an=
d after buying 4 AC at the same time, two of the AC's are non functional=A0=
- one due to the leakage, the other because its stabilizer was defective a=
nd has not been returned to me since 13 days!!!
This is the kind of service someone who spends 1.5 lakhs gets from Hitachi!=
!!!
I have been harrassed and lost faith in Hitachi.
Now they are insisting that I take back the same unit, claiming that the pr=
oblem has been fixed.
I seriously doubt their credibility and once the warranty is over (in June =
2009) and there is some problem, I will be made to run around once again!
I do not have the patience and energy to undertake this!

I would be grateful if the unit is replaced with a new one so that atleast =
my faith in HITACHI is restored.=20
OR as claimed by the dealer, HITACHI AND NOT THE DEALER take full responsib=
ility for it, because I bought the unit based on the HITACHI name and perfo=
rmance and not due to the dealer!

Please note that the email attached does not even have a word of apology...=
.!

Please help!
