Sony India Complaints & Reviews

My handsfree was not working properly and it was in warany period hence I took it to sony ericsson service center (New tirupati services, Pimpri, pune) they assured me free replacement within 15/20 days and now it is more than 45 days and I am not getting any satisfied answer from them. Every time I visit the center I hear only one answer that is " We have not received your replacement yet and we cant say how long will it take "

Dear Sir/Madam,

Myself, Mrs.Aruna devi R, from Chennai, I had purchase one Sony cyberchot 8.1 megapixel digicam on 26th july2008 in dubai(UAE) since more than a month I am facing one problem with my set and there are no proper solution at all till date.

My complaint:

As soon as when I press the power button the lens is not getting opened and not zooming out.
After a long time when im trying to use CAM I found this problem.So I am damn sure that this issue is not due to any mechanical damage or something like that.

History:

I had given my set to Sony service center in Chennai Aynavaram-(phone[protected] a month ago.
And they told that its because of some gear problem and t can be serviced by replacing it..The charge for replacing the gear is too costly so thought of claiming it using service warranty but they are telling that this service cannot be claimed by this service warrany.

Details are below,
Service warranty number- 2000946
Model no - w-150
serial no-110283

My query:

Why this cannot be claimed by my service warranty..?

Kindly consider my problem as urgent, as I am very much worried since more then 1month, and solve this matter as soon as possible.
I need an urgent solution whether this service charge(to replace the gear) can be claimed by the service warranty ..
Pls do reply in favour for me

This is for your records and reference

Thanks & Regards

Mrs.Aruna devi R

I had bought a Sony Ericsson G505 from a Sony Experience Store in Chennai on 29th Oct 08. The very next day it switches off automatically. After a big hassle, I some how managed to get a remplacement. The remplacement mobile worked well for a week and I had to face the same problem like the earlier one.

I gave it the authorized service center in Chennai. They promised me treat my case with utmost priority as it's a brand new mobile. It's been more than a week and I am clueless as to what has happened to my mobile. I called SE's customer serivce in Delhi. To my surprise, my case was escalated only after two days of lodging my complaint. They said I am a priority customer and was promised a prompt call back to let me know the status. But I have been calling them everyday. Either they put me on long holds or they repeat the same statement: "Please wait we are working"
I had very high image about Sony brand. But let me tell I am pushed to the extent of hating Sony. I regret why I bought SE mobile. Please don't buy their mobile. Their customer service is pathetic. They have no concern for their customers. All they can do is to give empty promises. Please do something. I hate SE to the core. I will never ever buy any products of Sony. Please learn from my example. ..

Dear Sirs

Sub: Replacement of Spares during the warrenty period - Refusal by your Service Centre M/s Salai Enterprises, Chennai 600 007 - Mobile model No.W580i - IMEI [protected] - purchased on 19-02-08 from M/s Subhiksha Trading Services Ltd., Chennai:

I purchased the above phone on 19-02-08 and with in a month or two I observed two problems in the instrument (i.e.) 1) There was a problem in the earspeaker and I was not able to hear properly. and 2) There was some problem in getting the battery charged as there was some fault in the connector.

I reported these matters to your Service Centre at Indira Nagar, Chennai and they simply cleaned the connector and returned the instrument stating that the charging is OK and that is the maximum volume available in this model of the mobile.

Then I was directed to go your Service Centre at Purasawalkam - M/s Salai Enterprises. After two visits to them they were kind enough to replace the EARSPEAKER (which was faulty) with a new one and also replaced the defective CONNECTOR and said that I have to pay Rs.350/- for the Connector. Left with no other choice I paid the money and took delivery of the mobile. I have to mention here that they have not entered my complaint in the Job Order, ever after my requesting, about the Connector problem and collected the money from me giving a seperate bill.

I would like you to make me understand why this replacement part be charged during the warrenty period, especially when I was complaining about this from the very beginning. I feel that the Service centre has unnecessarily extracted the money from me when the same can be replaced free of cost. I would request you to please arrange for refund of the amount or explain why this cannot be done.

The relative bill of the mobile, Job orders registered with M/s Salai Enterprises and the Bill for the Connector

Thanks - Regards

I bought a phone from Sony Ercisson, which was the biggest mistkae of my life. The phone stopped working within2 months.

The service center couldnot repair the phone for 4 months and guess the worst of all, the company is not willing to get me a new handset.

AND after all of this, the staff at customer care is pathetic, rude and doesnot know anything.

None of Sony Ericsson's contact numbers are available on their website, so that the customer can get in touch with SOny Ericsson people, instead of those iditic customer care reps.

I have given my sony ericsson handset w660i model for repair to the Sony certified service centre in Bangalore located in Jayanagar. It was given on 31.10.2008 and was told that it will be ready in two days. Now it is 3 weeks since but still not over. They informed me in between that it is ready and may be collected. But when i go there, the handset is handed over to me and asked me to check it up...but i found that it was not repaired and the problem i reported was still there. They took the same back and asked me to come next day...Next day I received three calls from different persons from the service centre and on repeatedly telling them about the position previous day...i was informed that now it has been repaired and ready to be collected and was told that the charges was Rs.950/-. But when i reach there, to my shock there is no change, the handset is in the same position as it was earlier day. morever a new problem which was not there when i gave the handset for repair was noticed...Again i was told that there is problem in the motherboard and they will get it replaced and that i can collected on next thursday...i.e 20.11.2008. I have not received any intimation till today. On persuasion that their landline phone is always busy and am not able to connect, i was given a mobile number of an individual, which i find is switched off after severral rings on different occasions. I do not understand how Sony ericsson is operating with such kind of service...I think this may be kept in mind by all the people who are planning to buy a mobile handset...

Hi,
I had purchsed a Sony Ericsson W580i phone around 1 year back at UniverCell Mobile phone at Jayanagar bangalore and after 6 months the phone started giving display problem (i.e. the LCD started showing lines and after few days it stopped displaying completely) and when I went to the SONY authorized service centre name: ASCENTEL, Commercial Street, Bangalore. Ph:[protected]/44 they told its becuase of the sweat the water could have gone inside and spoiled the LCD (the reason what they give has surprised me becuase we stay in a hot country and I think every one sweats) and told me as my phone was under warranty they will replace it completely without me paying any money. Now after 6 months of service I started facing the same problem again and when I went back to the service centre they said you warranty has expired and you need to pay Rs.1500/- for the phone to be get repiared. I also logged a complaint with SONY ERICSSON customer care no:[protected]my complaint no:SE[protected] for the POOR Quality of Service what SONY ERICSSON promises to their customers.

I think there are other many who might be facing the same issue and wouldnt have come and made a complaint here. I think I should get justice...

my sony ericsson w910i phone is getting restarted again and again.. i am facing this roblem since long...
what can i do to avoidthis problem.. please help and revert asap..

I just love Sony Ericsson...tats y i thot of buying Sony ericsson w960i...bt it totally disappointed me as nw its touch screen s nt at al wrkng...i've tried many times by switchng it on and off, scratcng in its touch screen bt al in vain...nw d phone s a total useless...n as it was purchased frm UK, no warranty can be claimed frm india...cd smeone suggest me a solution...? :((

I have purchased sony KV-HP213M93 on October 28, 2007. After instaling the TV, I noticed that the picture is shaking and I felt so upset. Immediately, I called Reliance Digital Store where I was purchased the TV. They replied me that they will come in 48 hours, but it has been 1 month no body looked into my problem.

SONY ERCISSON SERVICE CENTRE MARATHAHALLI, BANGALORE:

I have submitted my W850 4 months back and have not got it yet. They have been saying "waiting for display to come" from past 4 months. I really wonder why it takes 4 months to reach display in bangalore, a metro city.
The service centre people are being very irresponsible & seem like there business is cheating & nothing else.
The servicing is disgusting.

Hi,
I had given my sony ericson w580i for the service where i had a problem with sim holder.
These service centre guys kept my mobile for more than 20 days and didnt even touched it, returned back without resolving and took Rs - 150 as handling chanrges. When i given to the local service it was a minor problem and can be solved in couple of hours.

This kind of worst activities are carried out in Bangalore.

Hope this complain will be considered and take a strong action agaist them.
I will produce all my details if am assured to get justice on this.

Regards
Sachchidanand
