Dear Sir,
I own a Hitachi split air conditioner that needs service/repair. We have been filing complaints with Hitachi helpline every day since 3/5/11 (on some days 2-3 times) and each time we are told that service will be provided soon by their service centre. Till date nothing has been done. My wife and are suffering acute mental agony in this blistering heat, but Hitachi has shown nothing but a very callous attitude and useless and hopeless service. Our complaint no. with their helpline is [protected].
Sir please take the strictest action against them so that they stop taking their customers for granted.
Thanks,

Ma'am - No offense but please consider this as an Registered letter and forward this to the MD and the President of Hitachi India/Japan (if required).

With all due respect, Hitachi dealer,customer care,after sales service and technical/service engineer(s) are all fake and nothing else but bunch of liars, whose job is to lie over the phone and play with the customer emotions.

Actually Government should take...

Hi,

I had lodged a complaint of “no cooling” of my Air conditioner on 1st May,2011.The service request number is [protected]. At that time it was committed that the complaint will be attended by our engineer within 48 hours. As of now more than seven days has been passed but no one turned up or even called for attending the call. For the past three days I am continuously calling at call centre numbers but no respite. No one has the visibility about the status of complaint , every time executive ensures that the same will get attended within two hour or so but after seven days status is same. They have informed me that call has been allocated to the engineer named Sunil. They had also provided me the numbers of Patparganj Service centre but after my repeated tries I am unable to speak at service centre as no one is picking up the phone. It is first time I had purchased any Item of Hitachi and I was very satisfied till date with the product. But now I am very disappointed with the after sales services.I had written a complaint at there customer service on 5th May'11 but didn't get any reply.

Please help in getting the problem resolve.

I submitted a request on 1st May, 2011 for repairing my AC. The complaint # is: [protected]. I was promised that the complaint will be attended to within 48 hours. It's been 6 days and still nothing has been done. Every time I call the customer service, they promise that action will be taken and even after 10 calls to customer service nothing has happened.

I was given the Hitachi Area Sales/Service Manager Mr. Maninder - [protected] who never picks his phone. I wonder why Hitachi hires personal which does not help their customers. I have lost faith in Hitachi.

I hope that this consumer complaint will help me to resolve my issue.

I pruchased Hitachi Summer QC AC on 19.04.2011. Some vibration sound is comming from Ac. I logged compalint with vendor i.e. CROMA on 24.04.2011 but till date no body from the Company came to attend even after several calls to the Hitachi Customer care.

Hitachi has worst customer care. NEVER BUY ANY HITACHI PRODUCT.

I have been using Hitachi Quadricool 1.5 ton AC for last 2 years. This summer it developed some problem and didnt cool. I raised complaint [protected] on 24th Apr. The person on the line promised me that someone will address the issue within 2 days. Nobody called or came to fix the issue. I again called customer care on 26th morning. They again promised me that someone will surely address the issue. Again nothing happened. On 27th i again called them and this time customer care lead Mr Yash promised me that someone will come in the evening.

One technician came to my place on 27th evening and told me that issue is gas leakage. I told him to give me jobsheet and take the AC with him to fix the same. He said, he dont have jobsheet but promised someone will come to take the AC.
After 2 hours, 3 people came to my place and identified themself as Hitachi professionals. They came to take the AC with themselves. I asked for Jobsheet again and they said they dont have any jobsheet but they can write in a blank sheet of paper the Compressor details for confirmation. I asked them to show me there identity card, but none of the 3 person were having any identity card.
They were not having jobsheet , neither were they having any identity proof that they work for Hitachi.
I refused to handover my AC to them.
Since then, every single day i call customer care to get my issue resolved but noone seems to be bothered to take any action.
It has been 11 days now and my AC is still not serviced and Hitachi customer care is not taking any action. Moreover, the personal from Hitachi service center were un-professional and didnt have any jobsheet or identity card.

It has been mental harassment to me all through. I have escalated the issue but still nothing seems to work. Hitachi window AC is around 7-8 k expensive then other AC in the market. But still there service is worse that other players like LG and Samsung.

Can anyone suggest what course of action i should take to teach these guys a lesson and set an example that consumer is not a fool

I have purchased air conditioner of hitachi make model kaze 1.5 spilt on 25/4/2011 from NEXT RETAIL SHOP MAYUR VIHAR. Inspite of my repeated call to remove the fault in the ac nothing has been done till today. there are many faults as stated below:-
1. The display system of indoor unit is not working since installation.
2. The cooling system is not working finely due to poor installation.
3. The remote is not working properly.
4. The swing functionality in ac is not at all functional.

We are very upset with the service.

Registered complaint with the hitachi customer service, when service came he was asking for 350 Rs for replacing the damaged part. Please advice me what should i do now.

Dear Concerned,
This is to inform that I purchased Hitachi Split AC-1.5 Ton in the month of April 2010-model RASO18HQDP Machine Serial No. SE-101bo8470 and Customer ID [protected]. And since long this is giving trouble like Swing making noise, Indoor unit vibrating a lot and all these complaint you can check from your database of Complaint Management system, Recently also complaint was registered Complaint no.[protected], where Indoor unit was very noisy while Compressor is on. This was attended week back and technician told me that unit is not noisy so some senior technician will visit and do Inspection. Today my AC unit was attended and Technician agreed that Unit is noisy and this is due to front panel of indoor unit which has loosened up due to dismantling of Front panel during servicing done earlier. So he provided some packing’s by inserting paper and thread in the area where locks are provided. I asked the technician that this is only temporary solution to the problem and front panel should have been changed instead. But he told me that Company does not change Front panel as plastic parts are not covered under warranty. My submission is that Front panel has loosened because to carelessness of your earlier technician then for that why CONSUMER is be penalised. Infact same thing I have written in the complaint sheet also which can be cross checked.
After this regarding problem in my split AC, again service engineer Mr. Sukhbeer ([protected]) from Hitachi visited and replaced the Front Panel but problem has still not been resolved, Now they r saying that there is a problem in installation wall ie. Vibrations is coming from Wooden Board on which indoor unit is mounted. I have a point that why till date no problem was there since it got installed in April 2010, they r trying to find problem everywhere except the real cause ie. INDOOR UNIT which is making noise/vibration due to faulty functioning.
Now you can very well understand that every time engineers are visiting and giving their logic for NOISE/VIBRATIONS COMING in Indoor Unit. Finally I would simply request HITACHI COMPANY to arrange for the replacement of Indoor Unit with new one as so many times my AC Indoor unit has been opened/closed and now I am not willing to continue further with this practice anymore. Hope you understand my situation who has spend Rs. 36000/- (going for most expensive AC in market) and still facing problem. Please arrange for NEW INDOOR UNIT so that I also enjoy trouble free peaceful nights. Hope this is fine.
Again the unit got repaired in the month of Feb.2011 in presence of your engineer Mr. Mudit (Customer Care manager-[protected]), but as it was winter so after initial testing the unit was closed and was not subject to long running to judge the performance. But form yesterday I operated the A/C unit and again it has started making noise. Request you to pls. intervene as after so many visits of your executives unit is not functioning properly. Pls. arrange for the replacement. You can very well understand my situation where I am perusing for the complaint resolution again and again
PLEASE ARRANGE FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE INDOOR UNIT WHICH IS HAVING MANUFACTURING DEFECT.

1)I BOUGHT A HITACHI SPLIT 2TON AC AND GOT IT INSTALLED ON[protected] AT MY SHOP ADD.-STUDIO SHEETAL,H-45,MAIN MARKET RAJOURI GARDEN,DELHI-110027.
2)ON[protected] I GAVE A COMPLAINT REGARDING WATER DRIPPING FROM THE INNER UNIT OF THE AC WITH HITACHI SERVICE CENTRE WITH REQUEST NO-[protected] BUT AFTER ONE DAY I RECIEVED A CALL FROM THEM THAT UR WARANTY PERIOD OF 1 YEAR HAS EXPIRED 2 DAYS BEFORE THE COMPLAINT WAS MADE.SO HITACHI WOULD NOT DO IT FREE OF COST.
3)PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

To whom so ever it may concern

With Regret to inform you that we bought a New Window 1.5 Tonn AC Hitachi make ratings 3 star rating from M/s Anand Electronics Kalkajee New Delhi. I have been using Hitachi AC for last 12 Years and been working perfectly no complaints and no regrets about the Product.

We Bought the AC on 27.04.2011 from M/s Anand Electronics the problem arises with as per below:

1....

I deeply regret to bring to your notice on the poor response from the service department of Hitach India. I would like to bring to your kind attention that we had raised a complaint April 4, 2011 with Request No : [protected] to rectify my brand new AC which is not giving cooling effect at this stage itself. And till date there has been no response or action on the same. I had already faced huge difficulty from the dealer side to get the same AC installed earlier. And now I face the difficulty in getting my complaint addressed promptly.

I don’t blame Hitachi Corporate Japan for I know their service is prompt. It is rather annoying to experience such worst response both from the dealer and the company in India. Inspite of sending several emails to the company id [protected]@hitachi-hli.com and [protected]@hitachi-hli.com, there is no action take as of now.

I would never recommend this brand to any one in India for the service in India is dead poor. Due to the language problem such matters become difficult to take it up to the Head office Japan.

Dear Sir!
We bought a double door (390L) referigerator from Hitachi on 16.03.2011. To start with, I must submit that we kept waiting for company employee to visit us for installation but inspite of repeated requests through your customer care and the dealer, they turned after 07 days for the same. Presently, our newly purchased referigerator has stopped working of its own because of some electrical snag wef 23.04.2011. This time also, we approached the customer care (req no.[protected]), I was told that someone will visit and do the needful within 24 hours but no body has turned so far. We purchased this appliance based solely on Hitachi reputation and quality care but now I am feeling disgusted, cursing mu satrs and do not know what to do. I would really appreciate if something could be done in this regard. It is needless to write how important is this appliance in our households.
