[Resolved]  Sony Mobile — bad service and selling of faulty handsets

Address:Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh

I purchased a Sony mobile. It started giving problem from the day I purchased it. It was submitted to service centre several times after few days of purchasing. This means the mobile was having some manufacturing defects and needs to be replaced for which I asked them continuously but they never paid attention to it. The service centre employees never replaced the mobile and always repaired it for temporary use. As result the mobile failed to work properly and remained in service centre for most of the time when it was in warranty period. Now when the warranty period expired, the service centre guys are saying that my motherboard is faulty and needs to be replaced which costs around 5.5k . My question is that why my handset was not replaced when it was in warranty period. Because it was repeatedly giving problem from the day of purchasing, it means there was serious problem with mobile but they never sorted it out seriously. And when I am complaining to their customer care they are just playing the game of sending and receiving emails and nobody is trying to solve the problem.

Truly said saten11, This happened to me also.I have to throw my mobile into dustbin because of this unprofessional behaviour. Companies do not repair their product properly in warranty period so that warranty period be passed and when warranty period gets over they charge to replace parts.They cheat customers in this manner. Its very bad, you big name companies.

i talked to your customer care they said company had stopped
manufacturing this handset he said talk to dealer they will give you
battery . dealer said talk to sevice center they will give you battery.
service center said we do not sell battery. then after all this i once
again talked to your costumer care he said buy a non genuine battery.
because company stopped making xperia u . so we cannot provide battery.
now i want to say if you stopped making handset will u stop making spare
parts of the phone. u launched phone in late 2012 now you stopped
making it. so people like me whose battery are damaged . what do they do
throw thier phone into garbage. and second thing if someones (xperia u
owners) phone got some hardware or any kind of problem what will you say
to them ? that company stopped making handset in 1 year and no spare
parts are manufactured by company so people throw your phone into
garbage. now 1 thing i want to say provide me battery to buy or i will
see you in consumer court with other people who are facing same problem
like me.
