Sony India Complaints & Reviews

Hello,

I’ve registered a complaint on 16th December 2013. Complain Rf No.17059954 regarding my sony LED model no KDL40EX520
Again I’ve informed the issue by mail on 23rd December 2013.
And I’ve escalated the issue to ‘Sony   Service head’ on 25th December 2013.
It’s almost 30 days; still I’m suffering with the vertical line and
ghost picture (Oil paint type picture).

I ‘want to inform you that I’ve already paid RS. 225/-as service charge

But Sony asking to pay Panel cost which cost RS.22000/-, I want to inform you again I’m not going to pay for this. I’m claiming the replacement of the TV or the replacement of the panel free of cost.

But for this case for which they are using the word ‘Natural Failure’ I’m not going to compromise with Sony.

Even I’ve installed the LED by Sony technician only. And between 2 to 3 years of purchase how a good quality product, which cost RS 75000/-,  does faces this type of natural failure.  

I’ve checked with different forums, a lot of customers are facing the same issue with this LED model only. And Sony also admitted their configuration defect about this.

As it’s almost one month, the complaint had been registered. I’m requesting you to replace the TV or the panel   free of cost as early as possible. Since one month I’m bearing with this type of bad picture.

I’m not going to pay for this type of configuration fault for which Sony is solely responsible.

Please arrange to replace the TV or the panel free of cost as soon as possible, otherwise I’ll be bound to register complain to The Consumer Court.

Please process my request as early as possible and revert.
 

Regards

I have purchased Sony WT19i android phone on july2012 and in 16 months, the mobile phone is dead completely when I kept it like a baby carefully which still looks like show room piece. The phone just got switched off automatically after finishing a call and never switched on, went to various service station as mentioned in their website but many Sony service station rejected stating they don't service mobiles and finally found one of their service station in tambaram, Chennai. They had suggested me to buy new mobile stating the heart of the mobile is dead i mean the board which May cost you 75% of the mobile cost to replace It. This is completely ridiculous that the mobile dint work even for 2 years after spending this much money trusting the Sony brand which failed it's customer and their expectations for the money spent.

My ticket ID- [protected] Date- 30 Dec 2013 Job No- W[protected] Model No- MT25i IMFI No- [protected] VAT No- [protected] CST No- RN(W) 1954/R ST No- ADYPR2611PST001 Service center FORTUNE 157, New Baradwari, Satchi jharkhand, Jamshedpur- 834002 Phone[protected] Its been a wonderful association with sony for a long time now. Recently i gave my xperia neo L phone to jamshedpur service center on 30th Dec 2013 as there was a charging issue. they even said if further the issue isn't solved they will replace it with latest Xperia L. After 6 days they called me up but when i reached the problem remained same they haven't done anything. now its 14 days and i called them they have the same answer the part have not came yet. How is it possible that a service center had no parts with them. I am a professional photographer and i am dead without my phone. Please look forward to my issue and solve it as soon as possible. its a request from a blind fan of sony products. Hope to get a reply from sony soon enough and solve my problem.

I bought a Sony Bravia KDL40 EX520 TV on Nov 2011, 26 month back relying on the brand and the quality. But now i am getting a vertical line at the middle of the TV which breaks the picture. I registered a complaint (No[protected] at Sony service centre and Technician visited after a week. He said that the Panel needs to be replaced which would cost 22K INR overall as the one year warranty is complete. I never heard or experienced any product that will have failure on the core part of the product within 3Years and will charge back the customer almost 30% of the product cost. Will Sony quality policy agree for a car Engine to catch fire on 37th Month after the warranty is over and charge the customer 30% of the car cost?
Being a Middle class family i can afford to spend max of 5 to 10% for maintaining such a branded product that too after 3 Years. But this is riduculous, Hope Sony changed its business model to generate the money thru these kind of issues. Poor Quality, Poor Ethics, Poor customer handling are the values of Sony.
I even do not have confidence to replace the panel and afraid how long it can survive as there is no extended warranty as well, See how confident is sony on their product???

I am ready to pay 22K if Sony agrees to replace the TV itself with necessary warranty. But Paying 22K for just replacing the panel just for a year is not acceptable.

I am posting this to alert everyone and Sony should take care of its customers like 10 years back.

its been only few days i bought a new sony xperia L . after two monthys flash light stopped working on my ph0one. i have taken to the nearest service centre in Gurgaon sector-14. its been solved in a week. once again the same problem occured with my bphone . its very embarrassing for me to go to service centre every now then. this time i would surely complaint to consumer forum directly against sony smartphones, .

So we visited the Sony Service Center in Bareily and the technician their replaced the Motherboard of the phone on[protected]with in 15 days of purchase), but the worst part is that the issue was not fixed. We visited the service center and they said that this feature is not available in this phone. They suggested us that this feature is available in Sony Xperia C. So for that they require Rs 4500/- as a difference in the price of the two phones. We have paid that on[protected] and we have been promised that we will get that new phone by 6th of Jan. But as expected we visited the service center again and they are saying that it might take 7-8 days more to get the new phone.

I purchased this mobile from Mobile Store, Powai on in March 2011, .
In one-two months started facing battery charging and discharge issues. Problem getting worst, I showed it to service center in Ghatkopar. Saying socket broken issue, they kept mobile phone for repair without warranty. Also they took some Rs300-400 from me. Now its been more than 3 years, I haven't got my mobile phone.

I have called service center hundred of times when I was in mumbai ( I am in pune for last 1 yr) . Always get same reply they will definitely call back with status but never call back.

Please help me with this. I cant even get my own mobile back in same condition.
Here are mobile and service center order details.

Thanks Amit

I m an user of sony Xperia M dual..I find it utterly ridiculous that this great gadget is reduced to just a showpiece due to just 2 GB internal storage..being an android phone it is impossible to move the inbuilt apps to sd card without rooting it...since all the new app installation automatically goes to internal memory the sd card behaves just as a pendrive for wallpapers and videos and some .apk files which when installed get installed into phone memory...so basically the user is unable to utilize this phone to its full potential, ..which is a shame because this phone can handle excellent graphics and hell..its a Playstation certified phone so we want toplay some heavy duty games which again are very much possible with this phone..So as a fan of sony products and android buff I would like the Sony authorities to take notice of this problem and atleast come up with a firmware update that will allow users to move data and apps from phone memory to the sd card.

Hi I purchased a Sony LED 3d 46" on Diwali ie 3rd Nov 2013. The dealer GEC 22 (Gupta Electric Co sector 22) promised us with four 3d glasses and a headphone as complimentary gifts. However when today we opened the box for installation in front of Sony Engineer we didn't found even a single pair of glasses. When I called dealer for the same he said that you will have to purchase the glasses. When I called Sony customer care they told me that two glasses are complimentary from Sony and asked me to write an email to sonycare.[protected]@ap.sony.in which I did on Saturday and I did not get any response till now. . This is our fourth Sony TV, Please check with the dealer and provide me with at least two glasses to enhance my faith in Sony care. I am attaching the copy of the invoice. We have purchased this in cash. Thanks and regards Amit Nayyar

Log Information[protected], Name Ravi Kant Cont No [protected] Horrible experience with Sony repair center in Pune. It seems that Sony has not only reduced the quality of their products but also has reduced the quality of after sale services. The problem started when I got the hard disk failure error message and one of the corners of the laptop has loosens its grip (looks like as if some screw lost its grip. I took the laptop to Sony repair center, from where my terrific journey started. The quality of the staff is such a horrible that they haven’t even noted down my name correctly and could not able to rectify it even after rectifying them several time that the name is not written correctly, forget about the services. I took the laptop to Sony center on 30th Dec morning and I was told that the price of the hard disk replacement is around INR 10, 000 but they will give the full estimate before End of the day over a call, but since I haven’t got any call from them, I myself called them round 5:30pm to check the status and then I came to know that they haven’t looked at it at all. I asked them to priorities and let me know the status before End of the Day. Fortunately in evening they called but my bad luck was that instead of calling me they called my friend (as I have given my friend number as a secondary number) and told him that the estimated cost increased to around INR 15000 as the internal hard disk needs to import from Singapore. Next day Morning 31th Dec when I came to now this from my friend, I have given the call to Sony center guys but without given any reason they told me that they will be re-arranging the call back but here again they did bluff and instead of calling me they called my friend. When I came to know this from my friend, I have again given them the call and try to have clarity or their justification on the increased charges but they didn’t give any satisfactory answer. Finally when I gave up in front of their stupid reasoning, I asked them for repairing the laptop but here even much bigger shock was waiting for me. I was told that their system is not working so then cannot start working on it. My Question is why the hell they have opened their office if they system are not working, to make people fool? Much bigger surprise when I inquired the same thing from another Sony service center in the same city, I was told that it will cost me around INR 7000. Can someone tell me how come Sony centers in the same city have this much of price difference INR 3000? Just now I called then and told me that they are getting the hard disk from Dehli and they will repair it by Monday and it may extend. My question, If sony have turn around time 3 days, why they are taking 7 days in this case and charging around INR 15000

I purchased Xperia Z six months back. It slipped from my hands and droped on floor...Front touch screen got broken. Since it was still in warranty period i visited the showroom but got no response for replacing the mobile. They say it is gorilla glass but broke for simple thing but covers no respose from the customer support. Its stilll in warranty period i dont have options to fix that. This is Sony, Brand that rules the world. Shame of them. I never expected this kind of a response from them.

Hi, I am sick of the service I got from SONY for my new handset - Bought a Xperia C 2305 on 8th Dec (5 pm) - Found the product is defective and returned the same to the store on 8th Dec (7 pm) - The phone was replaced on 19th Dec - Replacement phone received had a defective LCD and again went for service on 20th Dec - Again received a replacement set on 28th Dec The price of the phone is reduced by Rs 2000/- since I bought the phone on 8th and the final phone received on 28th. It is as if I have bought the phone on 28th. This is already agreed by your regional head Pinaki Moitra. I need to understand based on what right, SONY sold me a defective product and I had to wait for 20 days to get the final product. Also why SONY should not refund me the difference in price Rs. 2000/- as the price is reduced since I purchased and received the final defect free product. Why SONY should not re-imburse me for the commute expense for 6 times I had to visit the service centres for the defective product sold by SONY Why SONY should not give me the interest @ rate of current FD rate as they cheated me with defective product and kept the money for 20 days without giving the product I purchased for.

Hello sir, I have purchased on Sony led with model number –ADL26EX550IN5 and serial number 3296843. I have purchased this on 28 December 2012. Few months back my picture tube got damage and I have complained to service center numerous times to repair it and I have already submitted my led to service center as well. My complain number are 01600057 dated 15 October 2013, and another complain number is[protected] dated 21 November 2013. I have been given promise from last 3 months that my picture tube will be easily changed and now from one month they are saying that this picture tube is not available so they cannot repair and I need to purchase a new Sony led and they can only give the discount. My concern is that I have purchased this even not one year back and as per service license you need to give support for minimum of 3 years. Why I will go for new purchase when my led can be fixed by spending small amount for picture tube. I request you that kindly look into this on priority .

I have purchased a mobile phone SONY Xperia C on Tuesday 24th Dec 2013 at Patna from your authorised dealer. I have informed from my colleagues instead of your showroom persons that 1 GB 3G data for each two months from Airtel is free with this phone. So, i called the Sony Customer Care and asked about that, Customer care has said me, yes it is correct so please contact with Airtel for this free service. After that i called to Airtel for this, but he said, please contact to your dealer where from you purchased this mobile for this free service. Just now i visited to that showroom with this problem but he said this is the service from Airtel, so please contact to Airtel. I just want to know, this is which type of service provided to me. Is it correct ? Deepak My Airtel mobile no is [protected]
