Sony India Complaints & Reviews

Last month i have purchased Sony Experia SP (worth 25,000) and within a week of purchase its touch functions are not working and battery doesn’t stand for long and hangs a lot.
I don’t want any rectification because even after software update nothing has changed.
I have got a super defective piece and all i want is replacement or refund.
I no longer wish to use the handset as I’m sure it is a never ending quest.
It is pathetic that Sony aspires to be in the league of apple or Samsung and fails so miserably.
I wasted my money and I just want a refund.
I can’t keep running to service centre with new handset for repair every 15 days.
It’s a mental torture.

Misguidance by your Sony salesperson at Prapti electronics,B-007,lower ground floor,south city mall,375 prince anwar shah road,kolkatta-700068.date of purchase-18/5/13.invoice no-763. We were misguided by the salesperson and were handed over by a wrong product which was not our requirement and when we requested them for exchange they refused to do so..Pls look into the matter otherwise we have to take help of consumer court.Thank u.

Sony Tv's engineers taking clients for a ride by giving wrong estimation of parts when not required.I paid on 11th May'13 an outside Engineer Rs3000/- (could have costed me around Rs.600-800) for soldering at two places due to misguidance by Sony's engineer asking to replace parts for Rs.8500/-.I also had to pay Rs.350 to the engineer for wrong & misleading advice which the company should return as well as compensate for incurring high expense.I have sent many emails to the company but no positive reply yet as attached below.

Dear Mr.Ravi Sharma,
i have recieved your apologies but i feel you
have not understood the gist of my email which clearly tells you
of your employee taking customer for a ride by falsely changing
parts which are not required.
For your engineers misguidance,i had to shell out Rs.3000,which
could have cost me between Rs.600 to 800 for just SOLDERING
at 2 points and not by paying Sony 8500 for CHANGING SCREEN
FALSELY.
I also want my money back that has been charged by your engineer.
With best wishes,

Santanu Nundy

Dear Sir/Madam,

March 2013, I bought a new Sony Xperia Ion phone from sageetha show room. It worked fine for exactly 2 months then started giving problem.
On 10 May 2013 battery problem started (Sudden shut down) so I made a complain online on 16 May 13 then given my phone to the Malleshwaram Sony Service Center on 18 May 2013 after three days I got a call from service center telling your phone is ready but when I went there and checked my phone I found SIM card was not detecting in that so again I called online costumer support, took Ticket number and submitted at same service center then costumer support executive told me it will take max 4 days to resolve this issue.

I waited for a week Then called to service center and asked the phone status they replied it will take three more days then I called after three days they told me the same sentence again.

Finally on 5 June 2013, I spoke to service center manager about my phone and asked what is the exact problem and why it is delaying, he replied they are waiting for hardware parts which has still not come from head office. Then I decided to send a mail to Sony Xperia Customer Support Online and I sent that there I mentioned "please tell me the exact date when I will be getting phone otherwise please replace it with new one because it is already 19 days over in service center" then I got a reply "Please see attachment".

Today 21 Days over still I don't know when I will be getting my phone back this is my concern.

Now I have some questions in my mind.

Q1. How long should I wait now?
Q2. If they will not give my phone after 30 days then what should I do?

Please give me your valuable suggestion.

Date highlights
10 Mar 2013 - Bought New Phone
10 May 2013 - Started giving problem
16 May 2013 - Registered online complain
18 May 2013 - Submitted my phone at service center
22 May 2013 - Another problem started
05 June 2013 - Complained online and they escalated the issue
Today - No updates

Thanks and regards

We purchased Sony Bravia LED KDL-32EX420IN5 last year (purchased on 1/1/12 and delivered on 4/1/12) in Gruha vaibhav, Bangalore for about Rs. 40,000. We didn't have any problems for one year. But Last month, all of a sudden smoke started coming out from the back of TV. Who came from service centre (Abhivrudhi Tech - Job No. is J[protected], told that some parts have melted and the whole board has to be replaced. They told it would cost around Rs.6000. After two days when we call the service centre they tell the cost would be about Rs. 10000 or more. We are in shock. Its very disappointing. We purchased Sony product without any second thoughts thinking its a very popular brand. Now we face a problem where we have to pay so much amount for repair. Sony should have provided in-built stabilizers (We were told this TV has in-built stabilizer and so no need of external stabilizer), or else told the customers that it is mandatory to get a stabilizer with TV. I was astonished to see so many consumer court complaints against Sony.I had lodged a complaint on phone on 28th May (Compliant number is[protected] requesting to consider our issue and repair the TV free of cost since my dad is a retired person and we wont like to give so much for repair when already we have paid such a huge amount for TV. Moreover its only one year four months old. Inspite of the complaint, there is no solution. One person from Abhivrudhi Tech contacted me asking the problem. When I explained, he told he will call after he discusses with officials. Till date no progress.

I have just one request and that is to get the TV repaired free of cost. It would be better if we get an extension on our warranty period to another one or two years as who knows again there might be some problems.

Looking forward to a positive reply from Sony as we have been a loyal Sony customer all these years.

i purchased sony headphones from shopclues.com
Order #3907021
merchant on this site sell counterfeit/duplicate products..i bought sony headphones which are not even worth 50 rs..sounds like those from street vendors ..They did not even provide me a bill..so its obvious that it is a fake product..no bill can be given for a fake product
now they raised their hands stating nothin can be done...their customer service is worst ive ever experienced...they keep you waiting on call for abt 30 mins which is not toll free...chat support is useless....n your mail wont reach theirr system..u'll get an error saying users mailbox is full
Tel me what to do? They are denying refund.

I have purchased a Sony Xperia SP phone from Snapdeal online

shopping on 22-May-2013. I received the product on 27th-May 2013.

After receiving the product I found that there is some problem

with the Camera (Pictures are not of that quality as mentioned,

they are very blur in nature!). So I went to Sony service center

in Pune, Pimpri-Chinchward Location. Now I got shocked when they

refused to give service for my phone by saying that this is

"out-of-country" phone means a GRAY market phone and we will can

not give service to this unauthorized product! So now I

understood that this is an illegal product that has been sold by

Snapdeal to me. So I called Snapdeal customer care and told the

all story. They were not gentle and asked me to wait for 24 hrs.

But after 24 hrs. I did not get any call from them, so I called

them and they responded me very badly saying that wait for 48

hrs. I told them that this is a mental harassment and I am not

happy. I told them that resolve the issue as soon as possible,

give me the reason that why this illegal product has been sold

otherwise I will file a complain against you in Consumer court.

The shocking reply was go and file complain, nothing will happen,

and there attitude was showing that they dont care about the LAWs

and consequences. I am very frustrated and depressed, please help

me. I want justice and compensation for all this harassment and

illegal activities that made me feel embarrassment at Sony

service center and locality.

Product Name: Sony Xperia SP
Product Model #: C5302 (Black)

Hello,

I want to bring to your notice that i purchased Sony Xperia Tipo from Croma Store, Connaught Place on 29th March 2013. After few days the handset started giving echo sound issues moreover the back battery cover is getting loosened up day by day giving a crack sound when the on-off or volume rocker keys are pressed. I personally visited sony outlet and was surprised to see many people with similar complaints. And to be very precise the service center guys try convincing me a lot that the handset is working normally.

Request you to personally see the matter.

Many thanks,

Best Regards,

Vikram Sehtya

I purchased Sony Bravia KLV 32BX300 on 4/9/2010. Just after a year, it got a "line on the screen" and gave it for service on 10/12/2011. Initially the Sony Service Centre executives refused to replace the panel under warranty however after an argument they replaced the panel by charging a service charge of Rupees 700. I came to know from the service centre that the issue is seen with almost all the TVs of this particular model. Now, just after another year, again the same line is seen on the screen and when I checked with Sony service centre at Koorkkenchery, Thrissur, Kerala, they communicated the panel would cost more than 12000 and the same cannot be covered under warranty as it has been more than a year after the panel replacement. I logged a complaint in Sony portal, Job no- J30863409, and they rejected the request saying "SONY products are designed to have adequate ruggedness however there can be chance of failures. We offer 1 year of free service to our customers. After this period, the service becomes chargeable". It is highly insane and truly unprofessional for a reputed company like Sony to ask the customer to replace the panels every year due to manufacturing faults and spending 12000 again on a TV is not something that one can accept or afford. Even if the panel is replaced, it would get corrupted just after the warranty period. Hence please do the needful to get the set replaced with a new one.

Dear Sir,
This is susheel chaudhary working with a reputed national media group.
I purchased Sony Xperia J series on 11 April 2013 costing Rs 14,500 for the first time, but due to the phone heating problem and network problem, I applied for the exchange of phone on 17 April 2013 at its authorized service center in noida. I got a new phone on 22 April 2013 and during the testing of cell phone at the service centre premises I found that mic of cell phone was not working and from there only again I returned the cell phone for exchange at the same service center for the second time. The third time I got a phone from the company on 8 may 2013 and again I faced the problem of phone heating during charging and long talk. At the same time i again forwarded the cell phone for replacement and this time I demanded my money back, but I got no response.
I want to let you know that I don’t have trust on Sony’s cell phone and I want my money back and whatever the process going on from the company (sony) is not at all satisfactory.
So please consider my complain as soon as possible and please come forward with the positive response.
Thanks
