Summary: LG support Center in Erode charged Rs 7,900 to replace a broken LCD panel for a new 26" Jazz TV. The charge was accepted, the panel was replaced, but it was found that the replace panel was not an IPS panel as in the model, it was of a lower technology and there was a serious picture quality issue of violent signal disturbances. The complaint was logged, but the service center evades acknowledging the mess up, but I am given to understand that a mess up has occurred at the service center.

I have received an odd response from your company by way of an sms message from VM-LG Care "Your service requirst C10A 0424488 is closed (Reason: Customer will call again. ) If you need any further assistance pls SMS "Service" to[protected]. 05 12 pm 05 10 2010, after three weeks after of waiting for further action.
Why would I do that after such a long and vivid email message that states my position clearly? Are you expecting me to start all over again with a new service request with all the history of this communication discarded?
This is irritating.

It is nearly three weeks since your service Managers Saravanan and Sesadhri
from Erode paid a visit to my premises, their explanations on the issue of
fixing a substandard ordinary panel in place of the IPS panel was vague. It
was strange that your service personnel tried to argue about the features of
an IPS panel to suggest that what is installed is an IPS panel, and it the
same time wondered if the original TV came with an IPS panel. The
third argument was that the replacement was as per part number. In the
middle of the visit they called another one of their colleague the Area
Service Manager? who also tried to convince me with the same confusing and
conflicting arguments. None of them were willing to admit the mix-up that
occurred at the parts despatch / replacement.
They were told very clearly again that:
1. This model of Jazz came with an IPS panel, but the service center took
the full payment and replaced the broken panel with a panel of an older
technology.
2. Even this lower technology panel appears to be either a defective one
or a possibly used one. There appears to be some serious quality issues
with this panel. Occasionally there has been violent electrical
disturbance in the lower half of the panel, earlier mistaken to be caused
by the satellite signal, but now distinctly noticeable as due to some
defect in the panel.
They were asked to replace the panel with an IPS panel as paid for.
I waited for another week and then called Saravanan to remind that I am
still waiting for the replacement of the panel, no action is taken yet.
In the meantime, the issue of signal disturbance on the panel (due to the
possibility that this is a used/defective panel) is making the TV unusable
for most of the time.
Replace the TV immediately, with the components as in the Jazz model bought,

Complaint marked as Resolved 
I am extremely disappointed to state that the service mechanism
of LG India is absolutely rubbish!! I would request you to take immediate action to stop the damage.
It all started with our family going for the double door, some 720+ litre refrigerator.
We planned to get it installed over the weekend however at the assigned
visit time the person did not come, so I gave a phone call.
I understand while taking care of so many product installations and deliveries, you may miss one.
But the attitude and disdainful approach followed by the incoming service
team needs to be changed.
My image of a korean company was of high quality products
backed with high quality after sales service. Its rather disgraceful and lets not even go there.
Now for some facts:
I have given multiple phone calls to your call center number- [protected]
; but there has been NO HELP extended so far for the refrigerator.
The call center representatives do not let the supervisors speak
to the customers, let alone escalate the issue.
I have made several phone calls and spoken to many representatives, namely
ZAINAB, her supervisor CHINTAN MAKWANA. Chintan was especially rude
to me.
At first he did not come on phone when requested by me. Then after a lot of
persuation when he came also, he was absolutely ruthless. No courtesies
and remorse just arguements. When asked for escalation level, he said there
is noone I can speak to and that he only is the boss. Similar experience received today as well as a some Mr. RAJESH SHIVSAGAR spoke the same language, telling me off as if I am not his customer, he is mine. I have suffered tremendous mental stress due to the whole episode.
After getting totally exhausted I tried to go the website to put an online complaint. But even there, your service team has done a great job that they have put a blockage.
The appointment date field on the page for complaints keeps showing an error, so you cannot lodge a complaint as well!!!! The page link is: http://www.in.lge.com/Support/sup-complaint-registration.aspx
So I went online and have found some email IDs and am writing to you. There is no complaint redressal form or escalation email IDs I can write to.
I THINK BUYING THE REFRIGERATOR HAS BEEN ONE OF THE MOST STUPID DECISION MADE AT MY END as they are just cheating on people with false promises. Please help.
Thanks and Regards
Shishir Verma
