Sir,
I purchased LG G X 300 dual sim mobile in Khammam Town Laxmi Cell Zone, Mayuri centre, Kolipaka Complex, Khammam on[protected]. Just after two days, I got very much disturbed regarding its audio and display problems. The Cell Zone people made some adjustments in the mobile and returned it. I also adjusted myself to the mobile inspite of its disturbance. Though I have Nokia which I purchased in 2002, still working properly, I developed interest in Dual sim. It is the reason for purchasing the LG G X 300 Mobile.

Today suddenly the display fall down. I thought it is with low battary. I went to the cell zone they guided me to go to service point. I approached service point, they said it is mother board problem after thorough verification. They asked to submit the cell and they will send it to you. They also said that it will take 20 days to get clarification from you and get it repaired.

In this connection, I approach to you kindly suggest me what to do? Why I have to face all these problems after purchasing a standard branded company mobile? This type of inconviniance will damage the integriety of the brand.

expecting immediate reply

Dear LG Team,



Today is the 19 th day from the date of my complaint and still neither replacement product is given nor any assurance or call from LG India.



Why shall I suffer more and that too even when the product is in wararnty period.

This is clearly a case of harrasment to customer.



Its not my duty to call anybody in LG india again and again for the solution to be given.Its the moral and official responsibilty of the company to serve the customers and keep them updated and provide immediate solution.
I am surprised to see the time the company is taking to resolve this.

From this tragic incidence I can imagine how worst will be the service when the product will be out of warranty.
The case has moved beyond the bearable limits and now I don't need a replacement even.
Please process to Refund my money that I paid to purchase this product.

Dear Team,



I have not received any information about the replacement of my faulty AC lying with your service center (Noida DSC) from last 15 days.



I think company is testing the patience of its customers .



This is unaccepatable delay from a consumer electronics giant moreover even when the matter is with authorized people who can take immediate decision.

Hi,


I bought a LG window AC MODEL-LWA5FW1DF1 BEARING SERIAL NO- 002DRFR001419 last year.
From the very first month of its usage I found some low cooling from the AC , but I myself didn't believed that how could a new AC be a defective one.
We asked the dealer about this and he informed that after some usage the cooling will get improve.So I never complained again.



He also informed that you will get 3 timely services free from LG company , which we never got till date.


In feb this year the cooling gradually decreased to minimum and finally the AC stopped cooling/working at all.

After this I registered a complaint on customer care and got an ID- RNA[protected].

The engineer came to service told that the Gas inside is completely finished and they need to take it back to the service center.



I wondered tha how the Gas could leake in the new AC which is used just for 4 months....?????????

This proves that there was a manufacturing defect in the AC right from begining.


The engg took it and brought it back after 2 days saying that the Gas has been filled and you can use it and there will be no problem afterwards.
But the AC challenged the repair quality by LG and again the cooling started deteriorating day by day.


I again lodged the complaint to the service centre and the guy did something in the AC and again ensured that the AC will work without any problem now.



The guy at the centre told us not to register the complaint with LG as it creates duplicate entry .

They told us that since they have our address and contact No , they will come and repair the unit.But we waited entire month but no body turned up.



The AC cooling now is zero and there is some ice formation happening inside.



The AC is not at all working from last 30 days and we are so frustrated and harrased by the company in terms of the poor service quality we faced.



I want to draw the attention of the higher authorities in this matter and want complete refund of my money paid for this AC which is having a manufacturing fault.Failing to which unwillingly I have to move to consumer forum for the valuable justice to be done.

I had purchased a LG fridge in Nov 2010.It has had a problem in door locking since then. I have complaint to the company customer care several times since thenthrough the dealer,then directly to the customer care office, then through the Toll free customer care number and also through their Sr officials directly.(My complaint no/ request id isRNA[protected]
But the company rep has not made any serious effort to fix the problem in last 8 months.

They r only interested in providing a temporary solution and vile away the time. The refridgerator is on 1 yr warrantee, which will be over soon now, as 3/4 of the time is almost over.On speaking to higher officials, though some response was shown, but half hearted by the local head of the customer care. More so the technicians who come do not even speak properly.

I have faced so much of it now that i m sincerely thinking of advicing people arround to refrain from buying LG product,looking at their customer service

The problem was with the locking of the fridge.Everytime the fridge is opened,the rubber gasket which locks the fridge comes out( as these days, the fridges have removable gasket)Initially the technician used to just reverse the gasket upside down and claim the issue to have been resolved,but the problem contd..Then once the gasket was replaced...and the problem contd..2-3 times again the reversing technique tried..and the problem contd...Then he tired to puncture the gasket so that lesser vacuum is created and the door does not seal properly, as this would reduce pressure on the gasket and it will not come out...again a temporary and local solution... but the problem contd...

Heights was this time, today when he came,..he fixed a new gasket( after having been promised a door replacement by a higher official of LG) and he tried to fix it permanently with a quickfix/ feviquick..another attempt to fool the customer..also the gasket replaced had bends in it.. and so the fridge aws not locking as it should have.one could see the gaps between the gasket and the seal.. and the technicians went away without getting the work checked by the owner.. when called back... the so called Sr technician never turned up.. and the one who came agreed that there is a gap..Initially trying to pass the bug..says..it doesnt matter KYONKI THODI BAHUT LEAKAGE HOGI.. KOI FARK NAI PAINDA..KAAM TO CHAL RAHA HAI NA... on persisting to get it done in OK condition his reply was that nothing could be done imdt..on being requested to put back the previous seal back as it used to atleast seal the door properly...initially refused... as they had fixed the new one with feviquick.. but on lot of pursuation.. got it replaced with the old one again...and left....AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUED..

It has been 8 months of harrassment..and inadequate service provided by the company...Being an Army officer... I used to sell atleast 4-5 fridges besides other products of LG a month...but i m sincerely planning to ban sale of LG products through my Unit run canteen.

My last complaint no/ request id isRNA[protected]

Hope this time, this complaint would resolve the problem, after I have explained the problem in detail above

Respected sir,
I am Sukhdeep Singh, a resident of E-199,B.R.S Nagar, Ludhiana. I purchased a LCD on June 8 2010, model no 32LH60YR. In last 1 year, I faced quite a times problem of power trip in my tv. Though the service person used to get it fixed the problem still persisted.
On July 12 2011 again due the same problem when I called up the service person, he told me that some device has failed working; and since my tv's service warranty has expired we were liable to pay service fee as well as the part's charges, all in all around 5000(excluding taxes).
I request you to look into the matter that the tv which had same problem a month back was fully repaired is damaged to such an extent within a month.
Thanking you

I had bought a LG-Scarlet 32 inches LCD TV (32LG60UR) from LG dealer Circuit Mall, Sector 8-C, Chandigarh on June 26,2008 for Rs 46,000 (Invoice NO. 21465 dt[protected]. Recently, the LCD TV stopped working. I made a complaint to your customer care number (Complaint No. RNA[protected] dated June 11, 2011). I was told that either the panel or the mother-board had stopped functioning. Later, the technician said that the Panel had stopped working. Since the TV was out of warranty, I was told that the new panel will cost over Rs 15,000. Since then, the company has not been able to replace the LCD panel. The technician also told me that the panels for my model of LCD TVs are no longer made by the company and that he will replace with some other panel after doing cutting of the panel and adjusting it. Once he even came with a LCD panel but then went back saying that the company has sent a broken panel.

This incident has completely shaken my faith in all LG products. I not only have at least 6-7 LG products (including Refrigerator, LCD TV, DVD player, Microwave etc) but have recommended the products to so many friends and relatives. Even my LG microwave has never functioned properly. I feel that LG, which is doing very well in India, just CHEATS people with their sub-standard products and leave them to fend for themselves through outsourced service centres where no one listens.

How can a LCD TV, which is supposed by have a life of one lakh (100,000) hours, not function even for three years? How can LG claim that it has a life of 100,000 hours when it cannot even last three years?

In case of my LCD Scarlet TV, I am sure that LG stopped its production because the product must have been giving problems. The company first CHEATS people by selling high-priced products and later makes them pay for repair of the poor-quality products.

The dealer, Circuit Mall-Chandigarh, and its propriter Varun Juneja are even more worthless. I contacted him for help for the poor quality LG products that he is selling. He refused to entertain my complaint.

I had purchased a LG model No GL 263 DM semi frost free in 2006. Its handle has got broken, for which I have been trying to contact all the service centers in Ghaziabad but all my efforts have been in vain. Reason stated is the product is out of production and not available. On approaching the LG call center the problem is not addressed even, but rather exorbitant charges are being claimed. it is putting us in problem.

Complaint No[protected] in respect of washing machine owned by Javed Beg


Lg Customer Care,
I lodged a complaint on 25th July in respect of washing machine. I was advised by the customer care to keep a photo copy of purchase documents and show the originals. Engeneer visited us next day. He checked the machine and informed us that some part was to be replaced. He promised us that it would be done next day. He saw the purchase docs and told us that a pohto copy would be required when the part is replaced.
Since then I have been following with your customer care and service centre for rectification of the fault. It is very difficult to get service centre number even then I talked to them thrice. The last interaction was yesterday(4-7-11) on tel no [protected] at 2.39 pm. I was told that part has been requisioned and likely to be replaced tomorrow. Since it was not installed today[protected] also, I telephoned the customer care. To my utter surprise, I was informed that the case has been closed as the purchase docs has not been shown to the engineer. Since the time the engineer visited us, I have been interacting with both service center and customer care almost daily. I was never told that we have not shown purcase docs.
It is crystal clear that story is being concocted to hide the grave lapses, inefficiency on your part. I have records of the conversation.
Do you think any body would like to purchase your product if you harass your customers like this.
I request you to take immediate action against the concerned officials and rectify the washing machine immediately.

Why is that every time something goes wrong with my Front load fully automatic machine, I end up have the whole PCB changed.

This is the second time it has happened and the service engineer who dropped in glanced over the PCB for a while and declared it dead, and advised a bill of 5k for having it replaced all over again.

Is that how LG service works, can't they just swap the faulty component and get things going??? this requires some basic engineering skill to find voltage differences at different part of the PCB to find the faulty components, is LG trying to say that they or their engineer don't possess these basic skills??? or LG wants to make more money by selling the whole PCB for every fault occurring with every appliance.

ITS LIKE CHANGING THE ENTIRE WHEEL WHEN YOU HAVE A FLAT TYRE.

The reason I am putting this case on Consumer forum this time is because, recently I had some issues with my induction cooker (not LG brand, but a leading brand in the market) and when approached a service center, I was told the same thing (PCD has died) and I was billed Rs.1000/- for an appliance worth 3,000/- , I reluctantly paid and got the thing fixed. But the story doesn't end here, just two days after I got the cooker back home, I realized that a cockroach has entered into the appliance and sitting right over the LCD display making it hard for us to see the digits, I decided to open the cooker to clean it myself and to my surprise/shock I found that the PCB was never replaced and the same old PCB was repaired instead (Now I know why the service engineer was reluctant on giving me a service invoice) I decided to go back but then due to work timings etc, I decided to let go.

Sir,
My name is R. SATHISH (Cell No.: [protected]) located at #5/312, Plot no. 37, Bharathi Nagar, Ranipet-632403. I have requested for a service of our LG Split AC on 23/06/2011 which was closed with a reason of "no response to Call". I again registered a complaint on 23/06/2011. Till now no technician has called us. As our free service period is splipping away, we request you to send service engineers to our above said location immediatly.
Best Regards,

After a glimpse on the internet, I decided to buy LG GX200 handset. I needed a dual SIM Active handset with long battery life therefore I thought LG GX200 will be the best option. I wanted a phone with Dual SIM facility; i.e. if I am on line in SIM 1 and if someone calls on SIM 2 then the SIM 2 caller should not receive a switched off or out of reach response, rather a CALL Waiting.

To confirm this feature, I called LG customer care. They told me that LG GX200 handset is a DUAL SIM Active phone and works exactly the way I want to, i.e. if I am on line in Sim 1 and if someone calls on SIM 2 then the SIM 2 caller should not receive a switched off or out of reach response, rather a CALL Waiting.

I repeatedly asked them if the above feature worked and they confirmed the same. But
after buying the phone, I discovered that it was not a DUAL SIM Active phone, rather a DUAL SIM Stand by i.e.When I am on line on SIM 1 , SIM 2 gets a switched off or it is out of reach.

This is really frustrating. After repeated assurances from LG Customer Care, I went ahead and bought their product. Now I find, whatever conversation I had with LG Customer Care was all crap. Never expected such service from the Korean electronics giant. I swear, I will never buy a LG product again and will never recommend it to anyone. Misguiding customer to sell a product is a crime, LG should not carry out such mortifying sales techniques.

Hi,
I'm Dhinesh Babu, bought LG Split AC on 15-June-2011 and it stopped working after 2 days of purchase. Every time i am calling to the customer care the reply is 'your complaint will be resolved in 24 hrs', and now it is almost 12days x 24 hours.

If they couldn't give a service to the customer, why they should have an option of customer care, service center and all. Can someone say how to make legal action against them. I am very much frustrated now.
And i don't want to leave this issue just like that.

Please take some action against this and it is very much appreciated.

Hi,
My name is Atif, recently I have bought a fridege from LG Electronics Showroom, ToliChowki, Hyderabad.
When I had gone to the store I was promised that I will be getting the fridge from warehouse, I insisted that I do not want the fridge which was displayed in the showroom. I noted down the serial number of the fridge in the display. Inspite of repeted saying to the shopkeeper he sent me the fridge which was on display. The defrost knob does not work as someone has broken it previously when it was on display.
The second thing which was promised to me was fridge stand, salesman had told me its not available currently and shortly it will be sent to my home. It's been a month even after repeated going to the store I get the same excuse.
Please look into it, I am very dissatisfied with the service provided to me and repeated lies.

Regards,
Atif
