Hitachi — Newly Purchased Fridge not working from the 1st day of purchase

Address:Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh

1. I have purchased Hitachi Refrigerator(double door) from the dealer (Sachdeva Electrical, Saharanpur) on 1st July,2012

2.It wasn't functioning properly from the 1st day of purchase. Cooling wasn't happening at all.

3. I complained it to the dealer, he committed to send the technician next 48 hr.

4. He sent a fake technician(which was not from the Hitachi team) and that person did some settings changes in the fridge saying that it'll now work properly. But even that also didn't work.

5. I logged many complaints on the customer care, hitachi. They also assured to send the technician within 48 hours, but after 40 days one technician came that too after writing so many mails to hitachi team and calling them again and again. He said that a part of the fridge was broken. He said, he'll come and replace the part. We gave the feedback as worst one on the documents and asked for the fridge replacement.

6. After that no customer case support executive came and the issue is still there in the fridge. The cooling doesn't happen in the lower area of the fridge. I wrote so many mails and logged so many complaints, but even then there is no response from the hitachi team.

7. Even the dealer is also not supporting us to get rid off this issue. It seems like we have been fooled by the dealer as well as by a so called bran "HITACHI", which seems to be like fake company and supply wrong products.

8. People purchase the thing for there luxury & comfort, but after purchasing the Hitachi it seems that it is totally a discomfort. We are thoroughly disappointed by the breakdown of the refrigerator with the first day of the purchase.

7.Extremely poor response from your after sales & service organization.

8. Now after tolerating all this discomfort, you have two options:
a) either change my fridge immediately or
b) refund my money

Hitachi — poor service - no technician sent after 48 hours

Hitachi airconditi oner service complaint No. [protected] 5
I had made the aforementioned complaint on 02.07.2012 as my AC
suddenly stopped functioning. Despite numerous reminders my complaint
has not ben attended by any service personnel as yet. On 02.07.2012,
when the comlpaint was lodged, it was informd that the staff would
reach within 24 - 48 hours of complaint and they gave me the phone
number of the service centre to follow up. When I called up the
service centre, they refused to provide any technician to help on the
ground that all of them were on holiday. After much persuasion, they
had pity on my begging [after all that is what a customer beccomes
when it comes ot seeking customer support after buying a product from
a big company] and saud that he would try to send someone the next
day, .i.e. 03.07. Hoping that my plea would show some result, I was
left disappointed when on 03.07.2012 also no technician turned up. I
called the service centre and was informed that it would take another
48 hours. I was shocked. I had asked for a Hitachi techinician because
I was not sure of getting the AC repaired from non-hitachi technician
as then the Company would not honour the guarantee. However, such an
abnormal delay has left me with no choice.
