I placed an order yesterday(28 May2010) for a LG Refrigerator Model No:368YTQG4 for 350litres to your Bhopal dealer "Perfection"of CSD items of LG. Paid the Cost to him. Today dealer sent the refrigerator. Outer packing reflects correct model No as agreed. However. after removing the packing it was found that the model supplied is cheaper one,ie,LG365YMQG4. On contacting, the dealer said that it being a CSD(I) supply the packed content was supplied by the company. So as per his advice i made a complaint to your office. Complaint No:C[protected]. Kindly get the refrigerator model replaced with the correct model at the earliest. you may also get the case thoroughly investigated as it adversely affects the reputation of your company.

On being queried on telephone theDealer “Perfection” said that LG Mechanics would come on Monday since they have Sunday Off. Advised me that I could open the packing and plug in if I wanted.

I have 4 LG split ACs at my home in T2/404, Uniworld Gardens, Sohna Road, Gurgaon. I had lodged a complaint on 18th May 2010. The complaint was regarding a short circuit and a small fire in the outside unit of one of the split ACs that I have. The complaint number was c[protected].

The response from the service centre in Gurgaon has been downright irresponsible and pathetic. The service engineer, name Rajvir, had called on 19th May and had visited my residence to understand the complaint. He said that there was no major problem, but it would be advisable for the unit to be taken to the LG workshop for clean-up and re-fitting of some wires that had been burnt.

The unit was collected by the workshop people on 22nd May, and then delivered to me on 26th May. At each stage, I had to call up several times to several different people, requesting and pleading to get the work done. Each time I called, I would be given a new number and was asked to speak to some new guy.

After the unit was delivered to me on 26th May, I was told that the service engineer would come and install the unit. The delivery guys didn't give any explanation on what the problem was, whether or how it has been repaired, nor did they explain how the AC can be installed/fitted to start working again. No one came on 27th or 28th. Today, on 29th, when I called up the customer care number, I was told that the complaint has been closed!!

The customer care telecaller refused to register any grievance or complaint about this, saying there is no such facility available. I had to register a fresh product complaint (c[protected]) to have the same 11-day old problem solved.

I don't know whether writing here will solve the problem.. I hope it will.

Hi,

I have all the documents of my TV. Could you please help me to solve this request.

My refrigrator of LG Model A one was suffering from less cooling. On my complaint LG India changed the Compressor on payment of Rs.3700/- in August, 2009 through its authorised firm New Alfa Electro Services, Shop No. 406, Sector-32-D, chandigarh. A guarantee of one year was provided for this refrigerator. The same problem has again been occured only after 9 months. Authorised firm New Alfa Electro Services, Shop No. 406, Sector-32-D, Chandigarh is not providing its services properly. It is deficiency in service on the part of the authorised firm as well as LG India.

Hi,

This is with reference to the servicing of my LG 1.5 Ton Window AC. In this regard, my 3rd free servicing was booked vide ID No. C[protected] on 12th May 2010. The service engineer attended the servicing, however, besides cleaning the filter he did not do anything. I asked him to clean the AC from inside and check as to why the water is not coming out from the rear outlet. But he did not do anything. However, he was very keen to sell the AMC for extended warranty as the same was expiring on 18th May 2010. Due to the above, I had placed a complaint for the same vide ID no. C[protected] on 17th May 2010. However, no one attended the servicing. Again, I had placed a request on 22nd May 2010 vide ID No. C[protected] and had got a call from the service enginner today. The service enginner flatly refused to attend the servicing free of cost and asked to visit only in case I want to get the paid servicing. Now I just want to share the above with you in order to bring to your knowledge the harassment being faced by a customer after buying a LG product. Till the time the services are free, the service enginner will just clear the filters which a normal person can do by himself. As soon as the warranty is over, you will get the class services as LG will get money out of it. The 3rd free service was given to me with which I was not at all satisfied, however, the same shall be redone by LG now but at the cost of the customer. Request you to kindly stop this free service campaign as it is of no use at all. Kindly provide me an escalation matrix with email ID's and contact numbers to report the above to higher people.



Thanks

I have bought a LG refrigerator ( Model GL - 365YMQG4 ) from LG Shoppe ( Authorised dealer Manish Trex & Finvest Pvt. ltd., e-Mall 6, Chittaranjan Avenue, Kolkata - 700072, Phone[protected]. During sale it was promissed that there is a exchange offer and they will pick up my existing old refrigerator within 30 minutes from the time they will install the new refrigerator. I bought it on 15th of May and until 25th May they have not kept their promise that was made during sale. I did several follow ups without success. Every time they make false promise. I do not know what to do.

To,

It is with ENORMOUS disgust that I would like to relate the incidents that I have had to experience with regard to dealing with your authorized 'service' outlet M/s.Comfort Point located at Goregaon Mumbai.

Given below are the series of incidents with the relevant brief of the happenings...

It all started in the month of April when I had noticed that the AC unit in my living room wasn't cooling upto the desired levels inspite of the temperature controls being adjusted to 18 degrees. With this unit having performed better than expectations over the past 4 years, even at temperature controls at 24 & 25 degrees....I obviously knew this unit needed to be looked into by an authorized service outlet of LG & hence contacted your call center in the 3rd week of April.

The service engineer from Comfort point (...so called...if thats what they call it....which ideally should be called 'Discomfort point') visits my residence only at the end of April who surprisingly conveys that there is 'Nothing wrong' with the unit except that he 'THINKS' that there is a shortage of gas which needs to be filled afterwhich the unit should be fine.Not being convinced about his investigations which he 'THINKS', he prepares a service report where he mentions that the machine needs to be further verified by a senior technician who will revisit the machine & will share his findings with me on the same. After this, 3 to 4 days went by where there was neither a call from the service engineer nor comfort point on the senior technician's visit. With the summer being at this peak, I had to get intouch with the call center again & thankfully managed to get the contact number of the service outlet 'comfort point'...which after speaking to them I was surprised to note that the service engineer that had visited my residence conveyed to his office with the remark 'WS collection pending' (which as mentioned above was contradictory to the report that I had signed for).

In any case, with my unit having to proceed to the workshop I was subsequently revisited by yet another service engineer on May 1st who switched on the unit and surprisingly remarks that there is NOTHING wrong with the unit but still took it after I insisted on the machine needing to be cross checked by the service workshop once-n-for all....(the biggest mistake made by me to send the machine to the service outlet Comfort Point). On my machine having been collected I subsequently received the 1st. complaint number C[protected] on May 1st 2010. When the engineer organized the machine to be collected, the person did not collect the 'Indoor Display unit' to which I questioned him on how they would check the working condition without this display; which he conveyed that this display unit was NOT required by them as the workshop had the facility to check the machine without this display unit being present (with my not being technically savvy, I had to take his word for it). The machine was hence collected both the outdoor & indoor units (without the indoor display unit).

On my liasing with the service outlet on May 5th I was conveyed that the machine was cross verified by the workshop & the compressor was found faulty & needed to be replaced, which would be replaced free of cost given the compressor being within its warranty period of 5 years (incidently I would hasten to highlight that this is totally contrary to both the service engineers remarks who had conveyed earlier that the machine was fine & nothing was wrong). On my having inquired further about there being any other fault with the machine I was told by them that the Indoor cooling coil needed servicing to which I did not want to take a chance & confirmed to them to have the same replaced, the cost of which would be borne personally by me. They inturn confirmed that the cost of this part would come to approx Rs.2700/- to which I addressed them in the affirmative that of replacing the same at the cost which would be payable by me on delivery of the machine.

On May 7th after I called Comfort point I was told by them that the compressor would be replaced by today & the cooling coil would be ordered for replacement (a delay already by 1 week...May 1st to 7th post my first communication/confirmation to them) and the machine would be ready for delivery by the 10th or 11th of May. Post my conversation with them, I subsequently received the 2nd. complaint number S[protected] on May 8th 2010.

On not having received any call (as usual) from Comfort, I called the call center on May 11th 2010 to find out the status of the complaint to which I was just told to liase with the service outlet...Comfort point. On speaking to yet another person at Comfort I was conveyed that whilst the compressor was replaced, the Indoor cooling coil was expected in a day's time (May 12th) as was not in ready stock with Comfort & hence the machine to be delivered by May 14th.

Now on May 13th, I inquired with Comfort on the cooling coil that should have ideally been replaced & was surprisngly given to understand that the part was still expected (probably was walking by itself) and they were expecting the same to come in today afterwhich they would replace the same & deliver the machine by Saturday, May 15th.

As I had vacation plans with the family out of Mumbai, I conveyed to them to have the coil replaced but the delivery would need to be only after a week after I would return from my vacation in Goa. The person I had spoken to this time was Mr.Jay from Comfort who confirmed the needful would be done & they would await my call for delivery of the duly completed machine in a week.

On my return from Goa on May 20th morning, I called Comfort Point from the airport itself so as to expect the machine to be delivered the same day in the afternoon or evening. To my utter dismay, I speak to Ijaz from Comfort & understand that they are STILL expecting the cooling coil & the same was expected by the 21st morning afterwhich he conveyed that he would PERSONALLY ENSURE that the machine would be delivered by Sunday morning, May 23rd by 1100 hrs without fail.

Now come Sunday, May 23rd, with my having not received any calls from Comfort (as usual), I call their number[protected] which is not answered.

On the following day, May 24th, I call for Ijaz on the same above number who yet again apologizes on the cooling coil not being received by them but he would have the same organized from some other authorized service outlet and have the machine delivered by the same evening but about 2100 hrs.

Naturally with utter disgust, I did not accept the committment being made by Ijaz/Comfort and requested to talk to a senior in the outlet. To my astonishment, I am transfered telephonically to Mr.Jay who has the odassity to tell me & I quote...."we are doing you a favour by arranging the coil from Nariman point & if you are not interested in waiting until 9 at night I will send this machine to you as it is without the coil being replaced"....

Obviously, since I was compelled to comply with coil being replaced, I accepted Mr.Jay's assurance of the coil being replaced & the machine being delivered by 2100 hrs the same day.

To my further dismay, I now get a call from Mr.Prakash Pandit, the Area Service Manager from LG at 1604 hrs on 24th itself who astonishingly conveys that Comfort Point has got in touch with him that they cannot even "SWITCH ON'" the machine since the DISPLAY UNIT is not with them as it is still at my residence. I in turn was left speechless as conveyed to Mr.Pandit that I had specifically mention the same to the technician who collected the unit on May 1st to which was told by the technician then that the Display unit was not required.Mr.Pandit was kind enough to apologize on LG's behalf & for due clarity on the inconvience faced by me put by Mr.Jay from Comfort on conference over our cellphine conversation where I had conveyed to jay to have the same collected at the earliest so as for the machine to be delivered by the end of the day on 24th. Mr.jay & Mr.Pandit agreed & the conversation was ended.

Whilst it takes only 20 minutes from Comfort to my residence the technician comes in to collect the display unit only by 2030 hrs (8.30 p.m.). Just before him leaving with the Display unit, for my due clarity I inquired on how he was going to commute with the unit to which I was SHOCKINGLY conveyed by him that he was not given the money for transport & hence would need to travel by bus with this unit. I was not interested in arguing this out with anyone at all & hence gave the technician Rs.100/- & requested him to travel by autorickshaw as the unit would get damaged if he attempted to travel by bus.

As I did not get a call from Comfort as usual, I attempted to called Mr.Jay about 5 times this morning at 1000 hrs on his mobile number [protected] (the number which I managed to hook on to when we had the conference call) but he did not pick the call.

Disgusted & completely frustrated, I called Mr.Pandit was busy & was kind to call me back. The remark that I heard from Mr.Pandit was shocking.....and I quote....."Sir, I understand from Mr.Jay that your machine is not coming on & there may some issue with the display unit".....I was shocked.

I conveyed in-turn to Mr.Pandit that I was NOT WILLING to buy any further excuses as there was NO PROBLEM with the Display unit at all moreover the same was even switched on by the Comfort technician right from Day-1 when they confirmed that NOTHING was wrong with the machine.

I further conveyed to Mr. Pandit that It was very clear that the person that collected the dispaly unit went by bus transport so as to pocket the Rs.100/- which I had given to him. To this, Mr.Pandit conveyed that he would liase with the DEL headoffice & get back to me.....which is where my grievance stands as of now.

My observations :
1. LG being an mnc & a worldwide accepted brand in home appliances / products....does a customer have to go through SUCH TRAUMA to have issues sorted.

2. Does LG India not see the 'Discomfort' that the customer is made to go through at your authorized service center...so called...'Comfort Point'.

3. Am I not justified in taking my 'Gross Harrassment' to Consumer Court' & should I not be compensated for this 'Harrassment'.

4 Do you still intend to continue with Comfort Point & engineer of this sort.


As long as this email complaint, the frustration levels faced by me are simply un-explainable & I would sincerely expect a immediate reply on this issue being resolved.

Thank you.

Yours in frustration...,

LG BW5NT1 - 5 Star Rated 1.5 Ton Ac
V. N. Agencies / LG Dealer
Uttam Nagar
New Delhi, Ne 110059

Hello,

I am a customer of LG and a user of LG Products. Recently I purchased a LG 1.5 Ton AC on 19th April from V. N. Agencies, Uttam Nagar, New Delhi. I was very happy to get a new AC from LG at my home. The AC was installed by LG Engineer on 20th April 2010 (Ref No: C[protected]). Untill, then I was very excited.

My whole excitement was lost, when I turned on the AC after installation. It seemed to give good performance, the installer said its ok and he took his money and left. I started using the AC, but to my surprise, the AC could not bring the room temperature down. Even after hours of operation, the Room temperature was stable at 26-27 degree centigrade. I asked a friend who purchased the same AC from the same shop with me about the issue and he said that his is working fine and it gives a very efficient cooling and cools the room in just about 30 minutes time.

I called up customer care at[protected]. Please find below a series of complaint numbers and the solution provided by the engineers, which has so far not been able to resolve the problem but has increased the tension for me. I feel that LG is trying to harass me and the engineers are trying to give me mental trauma, so that I avoid calling up customer care and use the same AC.

C[protected] - 22 April 2010 : I lodged a complaint explaining the problem and asked Customer care to get it rectified. An engineer visited my place and explained that the AC is properly working and he has just come to give a demo and not to cater to any of request / resolution to my problem. He took my signatures on a paper and left for the day. Problem not resolved. I kept on using the AC, thinking that may be it was new AC, so it would take some more time to adjust to environment of my room. Nevertheless, problem unresolved.

C[protected] - 24 April 2010 : I again lodged a complaint and explained all the problem to LG Customer care. An engineer visited my place and examined the AC. He said that installation for the AC is fine, but the product has a manufacturing defet and it should be replaced. I asked him to give this in written and then he said he would talk to his senior. After sometime, he said that he will send a senior engineer for the issue rectification and on a temporary basis, he shifted the temperature sensor of the indoor unit to some other place. My wife signed the servie papers with feedback of engineer. Surprisingly, the movement of temperature sensor caused another problem. Now, as soon as we started the AC, the temperature dropped drastically (only in the dispaly and not in the room).

C[protected] - 28 April 2010 : 3rd complaint logged, for no resolution. Another engineer visite my place and checked for the problem. He said again that the product is having some defect and also the temperature sensor is placed at wrong place. He then made some corrections on the front panel of indoor unit. He advised to monitor the performance for 24hours and then he would come back again to get service form signed. Please note that the engineer was not in LG uniform, neither he had is identity card. Finally, the AC remained unrepaired and there was no response after 24 hours from the engineer.

C[protected] - 03 May 2010 : On this complaint, the same engineer visited my place, who came for complaint of 28th April. He then said that I should get my windows glass removed or packed and get some walls broken to get a proper cooling effect since the AC is working fine. I asked him to give this in written that if I break my windows and build walls or close the windows permanently, the AC will work fine. He then said that he would check the compressor. After that he reached to a conclusion that the compressor is not working fine and there is deficiency of gas in the compressor. For this he marked as "Gas Leakage". I asked as to how it can be that there is gas leakage and the AC is giving slight cooling, if at all there is leakage, the AC should not be cooling at all. He said that he would speak to his service manager and send someone senior for repairing.

I waited for a week but there was none to serve me and resolve my issue.



C[protected] - 13 May 2010 : I again lodged a complaint. This time executive gave me the number for Uniquare Services (Mr. Sharma - [protected]) and advised me to speak to him for a solution. I spoke to him but there was no engineer visiting my place. Finally, on 15th May, I called up again at customer service and asked them to escalate the case. This time executive gave me the number for a lady Vibha ([protected]). I called her up and spoke to her about the problem. She promised to send an executive in one hour, no one turned up. I again called up Mr. Sharma and gave a warning for taking the matte to consumer forum and this time he said that he would send the engineer in 1 hour and this was met. Another engineer visited my place, and he said that whatever the other engineer said was bogus. I should actually get my AC shifted or re-installed at different place to get cooling. I asked him to run the AC and check for a few hours. he did as the last engineer did, the AC ran for One hour but the temperature never dropped below 29 degree centigrade. In fact after some time of operation, the temperature increased to 30 and then to 31. The engineer however didnt give up and put some more gas in the compressing unit, but all in vain. He then said that the AC needs a replacement and I should write this in the feedback form. When I asked him to do so directly, he declined and said that he would send someone senior to him. No one turned since then.

Today, on 17th May, I got a message from LG asking for feedback on SMS for the service that was provided. So far no service is provided and my problem still unresolved.

So, I lodged a complaint again on lgindia.com for which the complaint No. is : [protected] (17th May 2010). So far no one has attended this complaint.

Aftere rigorous follow up on daily basis, I got an engineer at my place on 19th May, who checked the AC and shifted the compressing unit to a different place, saying the installation has not been done properly. He further said that he would come the next day to recharge the gas.

Next day, he came and removed all the gas and filled in gas again in the AC. But all efforts went in vain, there was no change. The AC never cooled the room. Then the engineer said following points which he has given in written:

Atmosphere temperature is 45degree, so there is problem in cooling

One side wall of room is warm and thus the room temperature is not being maintained and so AC is not able to cool

Grill Temperature is 13.5degree, that means there is some problem in AC..but the ACs in show rooms are showing the same grill temperature, however they are cooling below 22degree

Overall there is problem in site, and so the AC is not cooling.

I then called up V N Agencies, from where I had purchased the AC and they had promised that if there would be any problem in site (if identified by engineer / installer), the AC will be returned. I spoke to V. N. Agencies about all this and their promise to replace the AC if there is any problem, they simply declined and said that I should contact LG for any further support. They even declined to help, saying if there is problem in site there is nothing much that they can do, except that the AC be dumped.

** The AC is a brand new AC, which promises to Cool even at 54 degree temperature. Howcome it is not cooling at 45 degree and it fails to provide the cooling effect.

I am so much pissed off with this poor service of LG that I no longer have the trust in LG products and specially where you claim to provide services within 24hours, it shouls mean to provide a resolution and just a visit by engineers. I have lost all my hope in the customer service department, still I am writing this mail with an expectation that someone would look at my issue and provide a resolution. Otherwise, I am forced to take stringent action on this.



Some points to note:

Different engineers had different suggestions, but no resolution.

there was no consistency in the identification of problem for the AC

Two engineers claimed that the product has manufacturing defect, but declined to give in writing.

Two of them advised to either get a new wall constructed, or window permanently shutdown since it was made of glass and was radiating heat outside or to get a reinstallation done at my own cost. Why has LG hired specialist installers then, to repeat installation and make more money?

No engineer was able to identify the real problem, some moved the sensor, one declared gas leakage, the other filled gas .... is it just to fulfill the customer complaint addressing mechanism in 24 hours or to provide a resolution?

Surprisingly, no engineer visited my place / or called me up within 24 hours of complaint lodge.

The engineer visited my place and after that call got closed. May I know upon whose confirmation the call was closed? Since, I got no resolution to my problem why was the closed?

Your feedback agency called me up to collect feedback upon the service and promised that he would forward it to higher authorities for a solution, no response so far.



All the engineers visiting my place for resolution are verbally saying that the product has manufacturing defect, but no one is ready give in writing. And, when I ask it in writing, they say that the site has a problem, atmosphere temperature is high, room is on first floor etc.



Can someone provide me support / help me in getting this problem resolved.



I humbly request you to provide a solution : either rectify the problem or replace the AC.







Thanks and regards,

Lokesh Kumar

This is regarding my complaint for LG LCD TV which we had made on 19 May, 2010. The LCD is 32" and bought in December 2009 from NEXT, Sec 14, Gurgaon.

Prior to this, our LCD had stopped working on 12 may 2010 and a complaint had been lodged on 13 may for the issue. The issue was resolved next day and the LG engineer had replaced the motherboard.
But after 4 days, again the LCD stopped working and a new complaint was lodged on 19 may on number [protected].
The complaint number is C[protected] by the name of Sushil Saini. The engineer came next day to check and told us that its power supply is faulty and it has to be replaced. He said that the part was not in stock and it will take 1-2 days for the part to come and replace. For next 2 days, there was no call/intimation regarding the part. All the calls made to their service centre at Gurgaon on[protected] were either not picked or their phone was busy. On 23 May (Sunday) I managed to get through the service centre number and the lady their assuerd me that the part had come and it will be replaced the same day. All day we waited at home for the part to be delivered and replaced but no news or phone call came.In the evening I again called the customer care where I was told that a reminder mail will be sent to service centre and the issue will be solved shortly.
Next day, again no reply. The service centre number is seldom attended. When I managed to get through it, the lady told me that the part had to be replaced in the workshop and for that LCD had to be taken to the workshop , after which it will take additional 2-3 days for repairing.She told me that the workshop truck was on its way to pick the LCD. For whole day, We waited for the truck or any call to come, but nothing. I called customer care in the evening and again he said that reminder will be sent and a call will be arranged in the morning between 9-11 am. I had called at 5.30 in the evening, and the service centre timings are 9.30 to 6.30 and with 1 hour remaining, my complaint was put off another day. Today, its 12 am. now, with no call from anyone and no one is attending my call at service centre number.

I want to escalate the issue and bring into notice the poor quality of service of LG. This is highly non-acceptable with so much harassment of consumers at LG's hands.
LG products may be good but what reduces its quality is such a poor service.

last week i purchased the LG GX200 DUAL SIM mobile phone.i enquired the dealer about the both sims are active when one line is in use.the dealer promised, if one sim is in use another sim's incomming with a beep sound you can hear.but this fecility is not available in LG GX200 (if sim1 is in use means at the same time sim 2 is not reachable) i'm very unhappy with this model LG GX200 and lg company.i think china mobile sets is far better lhan LG GX200

I bought a LG laptop Model FD-2 in 2007. It developed cracks near hinges after a few months but i could not get it repaired as my husband was posted in Aurangabad and LG laptop repair services were not available there. After coming back to Noida in 2009, i got it repaired on 6.9.2009 at Gaziabad service center, but soon cracks appeared again. Again i complaint and it was repaired once again on 16 Jan 2010. Fifteen days passed and it broke again. I lodged a complaint and once again it was repaired on 6.3.2010. To my horror, it has broken again. I was told by the technician and service center in September that this model has this problem of cracks near hinges and it is a common problem with this model. Now it has broken the fourth time and LG is denying any responsibility towards it. In fact LG has sold a failed model of Laptop to me and its service and spare parts provided were also faulty. It is giving me a great tension as whenever there are cracks on the top cover a line appears on LCD screen and whenever it is repaired the line goes off on its own.
I have spent 35000/- on the purchase and 2000/- on the repair, and i have wasted my hard earned money on a failed model. I want LG to take the responsibility of the faulty laptop sold to me and take the responsibility of faulty spare parts and pay me the amount i have spent on its purchase ans services and damages i have incurred in the repair of this faulty model. Please advice me what shall i do for the redressal of my complaint.

Thanks,

I purchased a window A.C. of 1.5 Ton from LG authorised dealer in Indrapuram(Ghaziabad) in Aug 2008.The A.C. is not working properly. The compressor of A.C.is not starting, only fan is working.As such, the cooling effect is nil.Pl. send your engineer to my address given below-

Vijay kumar., plot no. 193,IInd floor,shakti khand IV, Indrapuram,Ghaziabad.phoneno.[protected].

Water drips from my split AC of LG India. I have an AMC for it. I first lodged my complaint for it on 30th April, complaint no. C[protected]. The engineer came, refilled the gas but water continued to drip. He told us that it would need cleaning with a chemical for the whole unit. I have been complaining repeatedly but there is no response from LG. The complaint nos. are C[protected] (7th May 2010), C[protected] (18th May), and C[protected] (20th May). LG also gave me a number of Mr Sunil who is supposed to be a senior customer complaint officer (mobile no.[protected] but he does not even pick up the phone. I am clueless as to what to do. Please help.

Hi,
I bought a window AC on 3/04/2010(Nizawan Electronics) from Nizawan Electronics,its not working properly from that day only and the AC visited to workshop twice when i asked service engineers strickly to check the root cause,after 4-5 complaint they told me that there is a gas leakage in that.The last complaint number is :C[protected] .No body is taking the things seriously,i am using LG products from 10 yrs but not faced such kind of behaviour.Its a work pressure or what, where customers are ignored.Now, I required replacement with the new one.

I have a complaint against LG.
Recently my window AC (obviously of LG) cooling slowed down. When I contacted their customer care they send local technician from local authorized service provider. He said that some capillary has been choked and AC has to be taken to the workshop and will be repaired there only. They took my AC and returned after three days, with charging me 1500/ including gas charge and transportation. Even then the problem remains same. I again contacted their customer care again they sent one another technician(usually ITI fellows) and he said there is sensor problem and it needs to be changed. Next day another technician came and he changed the sensor but problem was still there, then he said AC is drawing more current than specified. It again need to repaired at the workshop. I was not able to understand what was happening. No body was able to figure out the exact problem with my AC. I tried to contact the local service provider 100s of time by phone but either nobody picks up or the number is busy or try other number these type of things happened. Then after many many calls to customer care and local dealer, one day they took my AC. today its almost 3-4 days, nobody from their side called me what was the problem nor they are sending the AC. Their number never picked up.
The whole thing is that their service is really pathetic.
Worst ever experience

I bought an LG airconditioner a week before and from the second day the ac stopped cooling. Contacted the dealer but poor response, after two days service engineer came, again long delay for service. totally dissatisfied with the product as well as service

Ever since I have bought this Aircon from EZONE,Rngr,Bangalore(3.4.[protected]I continue to be harassed by LG which seems to be excelling at shoddy service.
The Aircon was shoddily installed,no one turned up for Demonstration.
Your service engineers argue and are unfriendly.
The engineer who installed the unit gives false assurance and blatantly lies.
To add to these issues,the Aircon failed and the issue was reported.
Your service engineer turned up without the full kit,analysed the issue as a case of NO refrigerant GAS in the system,REFUSED to provide a service report and promised that he would turn up the next day to fill gas.
No one turned up…I had to call your service engineer –another person turned up –Ramesh and analyzed and confirmed that perhaps there is NO LEAK but may be a case of a rare unit with LOW GAS filled during manufacture???
With great difficulty,He filled a service report which DOES NOT HAVE ANY NUMBER,he does not have a copy,he has scribbled a AN20R1 in a corner with a report NO GAS.
This is a confirmation of a complete DEVIATION from a standard customer support process
The gas was subsequently filled up the next day on 2.5.2010.
I have issues once again and the Aircon has FAILED once again yesterday.
Does LG have no QC checks and allow a dispatch with low gas filled ?
Why should a new A/c have these kind of issues?
Does Ezone procure third or second hand A/c’s from LG to sell it a lower price?
The matter needs to be investigated.
LG cannot be producing large numbers of their products with NO CONTROL over its processes and turning out poor quality products.
HOW CAN A A?C FAIL WITHIN A MONTH ?
