Panasonic India Complaints & Reviews

Recently my less than 2 yrs old Panasonic LCD stopped working - "SOUND BUT NO PICTURE" & "REMOTE ALSO STOPPED WORKING".

The Panasonic technician who came to check the TV said Panasonic does not believe in repairing so the estimate they give customers are very high or almost the cost of a new TV.

True enough the estimates I have received from Panasonic after numerous follow up is more than 50% of the cost of a new LCD.

He advised to sell the LCD in scrap or call yellow pages repair shop - Good advise given by him

Will NOT recommend Panasonic. Unfortunately bought my 2nd Panasonic a few days before the 1st one stopped working. Will ensure I get rid of it before the warranty expires.

We bought a panasonic refrigerator - 414 L, from Reliance Digital - Gurgaon. The refrigerator when delivered was found dented. Since, the last many days we've been following up with both reliance and Panasonic, but without any results. With this level of customer service just after the product was bought, we just hope that there are no subsequent problems to the product. We will strongly recommend to customers not to buy any panasonic product, specially products that may require service after a few months. At least people should not go through the harassment that we've been witness to after paying 35,000 for a refrigerator.

Hello Sir,
I have given my Panasonic Cordless phone for service at Quest Technologies,T.Nagar,Chennai on 26/9/09. They took service request, stating that one of my Handsets needs to be serviced. While delivering, they replaced my Handset with a old handset,which was a scrap piece.

That headset was in such poor condition. The buttons were not working. The service people were arrogant and cheated me,by replacing my headset. They even made UGLY remarks at me, saying that nothing can be done against them. They urged me to register complaint anywhere possible.

Please take steps, to avoid CUSTOMERS suffering at the hands of such people. I hope that i get justice here.

Thanks,
Sathish.

I purchased a Panasonic LCD TV from Vijay Sales, Goregaon, Mumbai in April 2010 for Rs 25,000. After 15 months, a vertical straight line started appearing on the screen. When I complained to the company, they came back with a most absurd answer I can hear. The cost of fixing the problem is Rs 18,000. The same TV is now available for around Rs 20,000 and they are asking me to pay Rs 18,000 to repair--all this within 15 months o[censored]sage. This is height of absurdity. I am a simple middle class guy and can't spend Rs 18,000 to fix a TV. I don't know who to approach for this kind of treatment from Panasonic.

I had bought a Panasonic Plasma TV TH42PA60H (for Rs 81,500) on 23.03.2007

1) Defective card replaced on 21.08.08 with service charge at a cost of Rs 14,165
2) Defective card replaced on 17.07.10 with service charge at a cost of Rs 9,953

Since last week vertical “Green” and sometimes “Yellow” lines have started appearing on the TV.

I had placed a service call and was advised by the service representative that there could be a problem with yet another card or the whole panel needs to be changed.

I don’t know what to say for such a product which has been repaired already 2 times and still cannot function properly in 4 years.

Still my faith was not shattered and I bought another Plasma TV P42C10 on 06.02.2010 (for Rs 42,500).

To my utter dismay I found on 23.03.2011 (just after 1 year of purchase) that the speakers are defective and the new Plasma TV is not able to reproduce correct sound

I again asked the service engineer and he advised that speakers need to be replaced.

I am not sure what to do with these products.

1) Throw them out of the window because they give me trouble every year
2) Pay for expensive repairs since I am stuck with them.
3) Exchange them with a more reliable brand and vow never to buy or recommend any Panasonic Plasma TV

I am very disappointed and do not know where to trust the brand anymore or not.

I went to the showroom of Parth Electrotech Pvt. Ltd. in Rajapuri, Dwarka on 06.05.2011 to buy a 1 ton Panasonic Split AC. In the showroom, the model UC12MKY was displayed with an MRP tag of Rs. 20,000. He gave me a discount of Rs. 300 and I paid Rs. 19700. When I got delivery, i found that the MRP marked on both indoor and outdoor unit was Rs. 18990. I checked on Panasonic website and there also, the price of the model was displayed as Rs. 18990. I called up the manager of the showroom and asked for a refund of the price difference. Then he gave the most ridiculous argument I've ever heard in my life. He told me that the price of both indoor and outdoor unit is Rs. 18990 each and the total price f the ac was Rs. 37980. Apparently, they were giving me a discount of Rs. 18280. I did not want to argue further with him.
I am now planning to file a complaint with Consumer Grievance Redressel Forum and also report the matter to Panasonic officials.
Please never buy any item from Parth Electrotech Pvt. Ltd.

Hi Sir/Madam,

We had bought a Panasonic LCD32X10 last year around Jan'10 with a 3 years warranty from PSB electronics, J-12/31,Rajouri Garden, New Delhi. Ph[protected]

All of a sudden 2 weeks back on turning On the telivision the screen colours as well as the display started coming distorted. On complaining to the Panasonic Service Helpline ([protected]), a service engineer came inspected the set and informed that this set which has been sold to us is not from Panasonic India but an imported set and is not covered by them under warranty.

On contacting the dealer, who had not informed anything to us on it being imported, gave us another service center contact number (Alpha Radios, Noida,[protected].

On contacting this service center, the service engineer came and informed that the internal digital card has become malfunctional and needs to be replaced. The total cost for repair will be Rs 12.5K including service charges and will not be covered under the 3 year warranty provided.

We had bought the set for Rs 24.5K and now being asked to spend 12.5K on repairs within 15 months and based on non infromation that the set is not from Panasonic India as well as there was no information on what being covered as a part of warranty.

This is a case of consumer fraud and harrasment by not keeping up with the promise of 3 years warranty and mis information on the part of the dealer in selling a product which is faulty.

Request your help in getting my complaint addressesd

Regards

Hi Team,

I bought a Panasonic 42 inch LCD Plasma TV from Bagga electronics,, market # 5, NIT, Faridabad, after purchasing it I called Panasonic customer services to get it installed. So an Installation Engg
came at my place and informed that the version of my Panasonic LCD TVs haven’t been introduced in India till now. Even the engg checked the Bill provided by the Bagga electronics and found it was
not a genuine bill “gray market bill(Not Valid for warranty by panasonic)”. So after that I asked (Vinod Bagga) bagga electronics to replace My Panasonic TV, so he denied to replace it even he refused to
refund my money when he asked to take his TV back. (Vinod Bagga) He said people import certain things from foreign thats what I did, so I didn’t make any mistake, take it if you would like however I
am not going to take it back. It doesn't contain the Warranty Card, the original Wall mount.

Kindly look into my issue and revert as soon as possible. As I got my money stuck with that Fraud Electronics Goods Seller.

we have a 21’ television which is being with us nearly for 16years and with out any problem still its functioning well. Impressed by its high performance we used to recommend Panasonic to our friends and relatives
When we thought of switching over to LCD television, without second opinion we went for Panasonic LCD TV and purchased it from your reputed shop here in Chennai on[protected] for the amount of Rs.70,000/-. MODEL NO:TX-322X700C & SERIAL NO: [protected].
From January 26-2011 it is not working. we called the service center people ,they came and said it has to be taken to their centre to scrutinise the fault .so we took it and handed over them for service.

After two weeks we were told there is a problem in the chip because of voltage fluctuation and it cannot be replaced the chip alone the entire board has to be changed and it will cost 9,000
For board and 1500 for changing that so totally around Rs.11,000.

We need the following clarification:
1. We are in own individual house and we have i) legrand tripper unit for over voltage/current protection.
2. Voltas stabilizer which has been suggested by the Panasonic person during installation connected to the LCD television.
3. As per ur specification u must be having inbuilt stabilizer to stabilize the incoming voltage to the unit.
4. We have a sony home theatre and fridge & microwave but no disturbance in the functioning of these systems. Because if it is of voltage problem all the other sensitive equipments should have also failed.
5. Why should we change the entire board ?
6. So the problem is not because of voltage fluctuation we think we must have been supplied a DEFECTIVE SET . if an ordinary television works well for 16 years then latest improved sets should work better than that is it not? A costly television with high technology how it will fail within three year s? how come it is possible that too from a reputed manufacturers like you people?. Give priority to this complaint and find the actual fault & replace the product .

DEAR SIR,
I PURCHASED A PANASONIC REFRIGERATOR ON 5TH OF JAN 2011 FROM SANJAY ELECTRONICS ( TIKONA PARK) FARIDABAD. REFRIGERATOR WAS SENT ON CHALLAN ON ASKING,IT WAS SAID THAT ACCOUNTANT MADAM WAS NOT AVAILABLE & WILL BE GIVEN LATER ON.I HAVE SENT MY PERSON THREE TIMES BUT STILL I HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE BILL.

THANKS & REGARDS,

I had bought a 32” LCD TV (Model No. TX32LE7C) two years ago (on 13/10/2008). The same was checked by panasonic engineers at my residence and later at Panasonic Service Centre, Lucknow against my complaint, refer complaint no. No. DI-ASC[protected] dated 04/02/2011.

Now I am told by Panasonic Company that the Panel of my TV is defective and as the same type of Panel is not available with the company, hence complete LCD TV will have to be replaced on chargeable basis. It is very shocking for me to learn that the complete Panel of the LCD TV has developed a major defect after just 2 years o[censored]se. I have been using the products of Panasonic since past 16 years and have never faced any quality or service related problems with this company, but this time my confidence in the quality of Panasonic product has shaken.

Considering the type of defect, I strongly believe that this replacement of TV should be done free of cost and at the earliest.

Your prompt response and timely help will be highly appreciated.

Hi Sir

This is ravinder pal singh , i have purchased the Panasonic 29 inches from raja garden new delhi-15 18 moths back.It started giving problem in the very 1st week of purchase,then called Engineer from service center and he said some IC has been defused and this is not covered under warranty ,you have to pay for the same, then i have paid 2000 for that IC's.And since that time TV has been repaired 7 times and i have paid more than the cost of Television.

I purchased a panasonic lumix digital camera in sept 2010 and due to a defect in the lens of the camera( as told to me by the srevice centre in chennai) all my pictures are spoiled the come out in a different colour.
right from december i have been calling the customer care but to no use.
i made a trip to chennai as there is no service centre in ooty and gave the camera for repairs on the 28th of Jan 2011. I have been making calls and enquiring but the only reply i get is that since the camera is foreign it will take time for the parts to come.
its gone way past the time period for repair and i have called the showroom up and asked for a replacement or refund but there has been no reply from their side.

Panasonic plasma T.V Viera (TH-42PWD8WK)

The Replacement card Module was costing of Rs 8250/- and Repar cost for Card was quoted around Rs,3500/-a time delay of 1 weeks. after given my approval for repairing of Old Card They were quite for some, Not Bothered to inform me about my Tv status.

Even I have Contacted their Head office in Bangalore and Spoked with Mr Sunder as well as Mr Richard
and after so many calls They said Tuner Card can not be Repaired as Parts are Not Available First They Says It will Take 5/6 Days To Get Card) during all this time they were totally Non Responsive they hardly called from their side all the time I have to call them, after they informed that Card is Not repairable due to non availability of parts, I had Given my consent to replace Module and Return My Old Module They Refuse to Return My Old Module and they refused to return my old Module

After lot of Pain and harassment from The DIGI LAB PANASONIC AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER
I told them to go ahed with the replacement, they told me you take your TV and Our Mechanic Replace the Necessary Parts I Was offering them Tuner Cost Rs: 8,250/- But they said hand it over to Mechanic
at the time of Replacing your tuner.

Once I took my Tv Back they became More arrogent and they Did Not Turned up many calles and One Personal Visit they use to Give excuses that we do not have Tuner card First they told me It will take 2 Days, after that they were again disappear I called them after 4/5 Days again they said same thing and lately they said It will take 10 Days, I have asked their Owner Mr Harshal to Give me fixed Date when You can Fix my TV they said it's Not in Our Hand when We get part We will Fix It, THEY ALSO INFORME THAT THEY REPLACE IT WITH REPAIRED MODUAL BUT AT THE TIME OF GIVING ESTIMATE THIS WAS NOT INFORMED (IF THIS IS THE CASE WHY THEY ARE NOT REPAIRING MY MODUAL)

All this is started from 25th Dec 2010 and Till Today My TV is in same NON working Condition after Paying Rs 1764/- and Lot of Frustation I dont know what to do Even after Paying buying such a Expensive REPUTED INTERNATIONAL BRAND LIKE PANASONIC TV and approaching Panasonic service station My Tv is Not repairable.

I had purchased a Panasonic Viera LCD TV (TX-37LX80C) (Serial no - %851K00513) on 8/2/2010 through EZONE outlet in Raghuleela mall, Kandivali. Customer name is M/S Karan Industrial Corp. It has been only 9 months since I have purchased the TV but in those 9 months the TV has already been repaired 3 times. Once there was some problem with the remote and the next two times there was some problem with the A-Board and the Switch board. Every time there is some problem we have to call up the customer care and then it takes almost a month for the service team to fix the problem. As a result of this careless and irresponsible behaviour we have hardly been able to watch the TV and have faced a lot of discomfort inspite of the fact that we have spend 30k Rs on this TV. Now it is only 2 months before our warranty on the TV expires and we are really worried that more problems with the TV will continue to occur as it has been happening in the past. We need some responsible behaviour from paansonic on this issue. We need an altogether new TV with a one year warranty in replacement of this defective piece as a compensation for all the problems that we have faced in last 9 months because of the defective TV that has been sold to us. If that is not feasible we need all our money back.

Hi,

I bought a 26" Panasonic Viera LCD Model No. TX-26LE8C from Sales Emporium, 1458, Garia Main Road, Kolkata - 700084 in July 2009. The picture transmission started to distort around September 2010 just after the warranty period of 1 year got over. I contacted the store for a service center contact and I was given phone # of Tekno Plaza, Fartabad More, Garia Station Road, Kolkata - 700084, Phn # - [protected]/[protected]. I called them and registered a complain. A personel came at my house and after viewing the condition of the LCD said that it has to be taken to their service centre. He charged me for Rs. 660.00 which I paid him instantly. The pickup of the LCD was done on 04th October 2010. Its over two months now and I have no news of my LCD. After repeated calls in the month of October they said that they need to order a internal device to check which would cost me around Rs.8000.00, they wanted a green signal from me because I need to pay for the device if the LCD works fine after installation of the device. I gave a green signal to that as well. I waited for a complete one and a half months for a response from them. I personally contacted them around first week of December and every time I call them the answer was they would check and will call back. After three such attempts and finally threatening them of going to consumer forum they called back to inform that the LCD is not working and I may need to change the entire picture panel which will cost me around Rs. 16000.00, which is absolutely ridiculous. I instantly asked them to returm my LCD as it is. Two weekd have passed since then and I have not heard anything yet from them.

The Panasonic Job Sheet Details are as follows:
Log Information: PS-100404 dated 04.10.2010
Ref - PS10092904

I am absolutely dissatisfied with the type of response I have got from the authorised service center of Panasonic. I am really doubtful on the technicians words and I believe that they are trying to make money out of me and trying to cheat me. In this competitive world I don't think any multinational company would dissatisfy a customer and hamper its future sales and relation with a customer.

I want this issue to be resolved and my complaint to be heard in the right form. Waiting for you reply eagerly.

Worst service ever faced from any electronis company. Story began when i bought a microwave oven 2 days before diwali. i gift it to my sister. well demo was given by company. next day oven was dead. now real part starts. calls were made to mechanic who gave demo. he did not come few days. i asked ma bro in law to call service centre toll free. he did. toll free people gave delhi office number. delhi office persons gave hissar office number. hissar people again gave same mechanic number. it proves earth is round. well he came anyhow. and now brave mehanics of panasonic. person took out fuse that save oven from over heating etc. and took out one wire from his bag. started making it direct. now ma relatives asked him not to do it. he went away. since then i am calling whole universe but oven is still dead. and new year is coming. may be panasonic service centre ppl are waiting and watch till warranty period expires. or may be it works with sunlight. so they are waiting for summer to come so that we can cook food by putting oven in sun light. now this oven is worth jokes and pranks in our family. best part is that if i call chennai service cenre, they knoe me, service head for all india know me, area incharge know about my oven. so u can say that whole panasonic home appliances service department is getting salary for ma oven. if they will reapir it then there is no work for them to do. hence i have decided to buy another company oven and send ma sister. may be this oven can be used in lohri as a replacement of burning material. Also it would help panasonic get some media coverage.

Even panasonic all india service head says our mechanic was doing right thing by making it direct but u asked him not to do it. wow. why not panasonic such an intelligent brain to R & D department who can save their money by removing such unusable parts like safety fuses from oven.

I would love to get comments. when i asked company to provide somebody senior than delhi officer. reply was he is all in all. whatever he did is right. there is no one above him.

it was interesting google shows CEO of company is Mr. Daizo Ito.

M on search will be thankful if somebody tells me how to get higher officials
