The LED panel went defective in Jan 2012 and was replaced under warranty on 10-04-12 at Visakhapatnam (job card no. HS[protected], BY SS Agencies, Visakhapatnam(contact details [protected]/[protected]). 3. The replaced LED screen also went defective and was replaced again on[protected]invoice no.

Again my tv has developed the same defect on 27-06-14 at Mumbai ( complaint reported vide Sony request no. 19778024,[protected] and 19953578.). The service engineer from your Authorized Service Centre M/s. Aar Vee Infoservices recommended replacement of LED panel with a repair estimate of Rs. 21, 257/-. 5. My grievance is that why a High Quality Sony tv worth RS 70000 go bad every year. Yes, its a electronic eqpt and hence could fail. My question is why the same component goes bad every time even after replacement. I suspect the the quality of replaced component and my specific piece of tv is of substandard quality. I request the company to re-look into the recurrent defect of ny TV and carry out a detailed technical analysis and audit. It is a clear cut case of POOR QUALITY product and i want my tv be repaired / replaced free of cost. It is requested that following information be provided to us:- (a) Details of total nos. of KDL - 40EX520 SOLD FROM 19 feb 2011 till todate.

I would also like put on record the telephonic communication with following Sony Representatives, whose sole point of argument is based only on the financial expenditure likely to be incurred by Sony Coy in getting my TV repaired by the coy. These gentlemen are not willing to accept that my TV has turned out to be a rogue piece of equipment and needs replacement:- (a) Mr Allwyn Buthello ([protected]) - Officer-Customer Relation – West (b) Mr Rawal ([protected]) - Technical Head - West (c) Ms Reema Parvi - Officer -Sony Service Centre M/s. Aar Vee Infoservices 7. As a customer i am very aggreived with the Sony company's attitude in handling my UNIQUE sequence of recurrent defect.

very poor response from sony. i feel cheated as customer.
DON’T BUY SONY BRAVIA - POOR QUALITY LED tv - model - KDL - 40EX520. 300 % FAILURE RATE.

Hi Everybody-
1. I had bought Bravia LED tv model - KDL - 40EX520 in 2011. The LED panel went defective first time in Jan 2012 and was replaced.
2. The replaced LED screen also went defective within 03 months and had to be changed again in 2012. The second time replaced LED screen has again gone defective in June 2014 at Mumbai.
3. Complaint registered with Sony. The company says Product is now out of warranty --pay panel replacement cost of Rs. 23000 for defect rectification.As customer, will u guys pay every YEAR and A Half Rs. 23000 to maintain a high end TV for which u have already paid Rs. 70000 for purchase.
4. My appeal to potential Sony Product buyers - DONT BUY SONY BRAVIA LED AS COMPANY CANNOT ASSURE LIFE OF ITS LED SCREEN FOR MORE THAN ONE YEAR. Our experience shows that the LED screen GOES DEFECTIVE every year (Failure RATE 300%).
5. The Sony Company is NOT WILLING to accept that it has floated Poor Quality BRAVIA 40EX520 series into the market and wants its LOYAL customers to live with it. As a customer i feel cheated...and very aggreived with the Sony company's attitude in handling my UNIQUE sequence of recurrent defects.
6. Further, the Sony company's customer care is very PAINFUL and IRRITATING. The company does not provide any representative's contact nos. to record ur grievance. Every time u want to check the status o[censored]r complaint, despite a complaint reference no., u have to narrate ur entire grievance again to the customer care person, WHO ON EVERY OCCASION WILL SAY THAT UR COMPLAINT IS FORWARDED TO HIGHER REPRESENTATIVE AND COMPANY WILL GET BACK TO U --- WHICH NEVER HAPPENS. No ACCOUNTABILITY BY SONY ONCE A PRODUCT IS SOLD TO U. Check it urself on Sony Customer Care no. before u buy any Sony Product. UR Opinion about Sony will change...
Basically u pay a lot of money to BUY PROBLEMS & HEADACHE from reputed company like Sony.
Regards
