With further reference to the complaint I would like to present following information, just to apprise you of the aggravation we are going through.
1.We wanted to buy a top end TV and bought the set paying a good sum of money (around INR28000).It is indeed strange that it went out of order within 3 years.( Was the company trying to get rid of defective pieces at a discount? I wonder)
2.It suddenly went out of order inspite of being connected through a reputed brand of voltage stabilizer.( I mean there was no power surge or anything). It was given for repair on or about the first week of Jan 2009 to Philips authorized service centre Pacific Electronics at RTNagar Bangalore which is in walking distance to my residence.It took them about 10 days to repair and deliver it back on the 20th of Jan 2009. They charged me INR1776 as repair charge.
3.Same day evening the TV went on the blink, and again taken for repair and returned after 2 days.We were informed by them that the repair was not done properly and they orally apologised for their shoddy work and lack of quality control.
4.Within a week thereafter a line started appearing on the top of the screen which we did not notice till it started becoming bigger and bigger.
5.We again complained to the Philips ASC above mentioned.They sent across a technician after a couple of days.This gentleman tried to repair it and in the process appears to have damaged it further as the line appearing on the screen became bigger.He told us that we may use the set till they arrange to pick it up.Accordingly we used it and suddenly there was a loud sound and entire set went blank and we could smell burnt plastic.
6.It was concluded by the ASC that there is a major problem and the set was picked up for repairs on the 19th of March 2009.Thereafter we have been following up with the ASC and we are being given a run around.
Now we are enquiring with the ASC on a daily basis with no avail. Now it is more than 50 days and we have no clue about the TV set.
Conclusion: It is the duty of the manufacturer to appoint competent people to service the product manufactured by them.The ASC is the agent of Philips and the ultimate responsiibility/liability lies with Philips as the principal.It is not suffice to apologise and make us go back to their ASC for redressal.With this experience we will never be able to trust Philips brand ever again.

My 29"TV Picture tube got out of order @ 6 months back and it got replaced through Philips service centre at Bhopal(MP). AMC was also got done.Immediately after repair(in 2 days), on start all the time, TV got blank and could get picture only after operating start button 10-12 times for about 5". After repairs, on getting delivery, it was found that it is not operating through remote and horiz.lines were appearing on screen.Even, 2 remotes handed over for repairs were not returned.As on date TV fault of start by remote is not rectified.In the process, @ 50 calls have been made to service centre and service engineer, personally had to collect TV due to abnormal delay in delivery, 2 times TV has been taken to the service centre and service engineer visited my place 6 times for repairs.The TV is practically under repair for the last 6 months.I could bear it because I have 3 Philips TV of 29".25" n 21".My experience of Philips TV is that it is a good product with very bad remote instrument and worse after sales service.Some thing is required to be done in this direction for the satisfaction of the customer who has patronised all most all Philis products.

Product - 29" color television.
State - West Bengal (kolkata)
Service Centre - City Service, Gouri Bari...

I had purchased a 29" Philips color television on 17th February, 2009. The picture did not appear to be straight and had a visible bulge. I reported the issue to their helpline number. The technician who came to my residence tried his best to convince me that everything was fine. Only after i compared my television with the one next door was he forced to accept the issue. He told me that this issue could only be taken care at the service centre. They took the television, did nothing to it and sent it back with a crack on the front glass. I again complained to their help line number. This time they again took the tv to their service centre and told me to visit thier place so that i can show them my exact problem. When i tried to convince their technician about my problem they again reinstated that everything appeared normal to them. I request all of you not to purchase any Phillips product or else you will be in deep pain.

Re: Complaint about the non- functioning of Mixer Grinder, Philips Product Code MIX HL 1650(MIX-PHI-600W-HL1650-INTELLIGENT MG 5847) due to some inherent defects. Purchased through Next Retail Shop vide Memo No.0224242 dt.02.02.2009 in the name of Mr.Vivek, M.No.[protected], R/o C-604, Rosewood Apartment, Mayur Vihar Phase-1, Delhi.

Dear Sir,

I feel that the aforesaid Mixer Grinder, Philips Product Code MIX HL 1650(MIX-PHI-600W-HL1650-INTELLIGENT MG 5847) Mixer Grinder, have an inherent defect i.e. as under:

1. Excessive running noise
2. Not Working properly
3. Not grinding the substance

I purchased the said product on[protected], however, the same was put to use only on[protected] and to my surprise it started giving problem as soon as the mixer was started. I lodged the complaint vide complaint no.151358 dt.22.02.2009 immediately with your customer care center and next day i.e. on[protected] one of your service executive visited and found the problems persist as mentioned-above and could not be able to rectify the same and maintained that the replacement of the brand new faulty product is the only solution. He also assured that he will arrange the replacement within two-three days time.

After that no one come to replace the faulty mixer grinder. I had lodged a number of repeated complaints after that on dt.27.02.2009, 03.03.2009 and 04.03.2009 and every time I have been assured that the same will be solved within no time.

Despite lodging number of Complaints no one visited to replace the faulty inherent mixer grinder nor received any call from your end.

I am unable to utilize and use this product due to the aforesaid problems and the purpose for purchasing this mixer grinder seems to be defeated.

There is obviously an inherent manufacturing defect in the mixer grinder and therefore the mixer grinder has not at all functioned properly right from the beginning. I wish to bring to your kind notice that such a defect in the goods amounts to breach of implied condition of the Sale of Goods Act, according to which the goods meant for some purpose should be suitable for the purpose for which they are purchased. In such a case you are duty bound to take back the goods, and pay back the price, or in alternative, replace the goods, so that the replaced goods render proper service.

I therefore call upon you to either (i) Pay back the price of the mixer grinder (b) Replace the mixer grinder with another piece not having any defect.

I shall be constrained to recover the aforesaid amount including but not limited to the proceedings and other enabling provisions under the Consumer Protection Act’1986 and the Sale of Goods Act and the responsibility for costs and consequences thereof shall be solely yours.


Thanking You,

Yours truly,

Vivek Kumar

Dear Consumer Forum

I bought a mixy from Durga Electricals on 2nd March 2007, the component supplied to me was in bad condition whcih i discovered when used it on 3rd march, it was rusted. I took my complain to Durga Electricals at Mahur Vihar, Phase I, New Delhi.and he said aisa hi saman hain use karna hain to kijiye, nahin to jaiye yahan se. I spoke to local sales person of philips even he said same thing philips aisa hi saman banatai hain. I logged my complain on philips website which they never bothered to reply or resolve.I was not aware about online registartion of complain on consumer forum that why I am registering complain late .

My complain is against philips for manufactering defetive product and selling it in market and when registering a complain not paying heed to it.

I would request you to resolve my problem .

I have bought Philips TV Model Num-29PT5507/94 in Aug-08.TV is still in guarantee period and i launched a complaint on 04.03.09 as my TV is not functioning properly but nothing is happening.
A technician has reached at my palce on 05.03.09 and said that the part is not available.
I want to compalin that this TV is not old and i have bought only 6 month back and the part is not available.
I called up customer care but they dont have anything except they are doing the needful.The complain registration number is 154549.

I want solution for this and i want philips to resolve it on urgent basis.

I purchased a phillips dvd player from local dealer m/s baid enterprizes, wardha(M.S.). IT GOT OUT OF ORDER WITHIN THE WARRANTY PERIOD. It was than sent to nagpur office through the dealer for repair/ replacement. It has been around a year since than, people at Nagpur office only make promises for replacement with a new dvd player every time when the dealer or I contact them, but nothing has been done yet.
My advice to the people is buy a local product but dont go after the big NAME of phillips.

Hi,

I bought Philips Juicer mixer grinder and within a year means within warranty period one of the mixer jar's bottom portion(collar) coating started coming out and it was looking like made up of raw iiron. I took that jar to Philips service centre in Domulur, Bangalore and they said they will replace it.They asked me that they will call or I can collect after 3 days. But they didn't call and whenever I used to call them they used to ask me bill no and after keeping the phone on hold for 15 mins they used to ask me what have you given whether it is an iron box or something else. When I tell them that it is mixer jar they again used keep me on hold and after that they used to tell they will call back but they never called me back. I complained twice on phone to Philips Head office on the phone number mentined on their website but I didn't get any response from them. They also used to tell they will call back but never they called. The service center is far from my place so instead of going I thought first to confirm on phone whether they have done the work or not so that once only I will go and collect it instead of going continously. They dragged this issue for almost 3 months and later on when I received the jar it was in worst condition than prior, it was like they gave me like that without changing and made it more worst kepping with them here and there. The guy in service center told me that it has been changed. I am totally amazed about such a big Indian company is cheating Indian people in this way. Please do something so that now I should get the whole mixer grinder as an exchange with new one as a compensation.

Dear sir,
I had purchased Philips radio (model RL-118) which despite being under warranty is not being serviced by authorized service centre.

Point of Purchase: Watchland Trading co. Pvt Ltd, Aurangabad
Nature of purchase: Philips Radio (Model RL-118)
Invoice no : 2016 dated 12/8/2008
Product warranty : 6 months

1) Complaint regn no: 126800, Galaxy Electronics, Ghatkopar, Mumbai
Problem occurred in jan 2009 when the internal battery of the radio did not recharge. The same was brought to notice of Galaxy Electronics, Ghatkopar; which was rectified on 24/1/2009.

2) The same problem reoccured on 5/2/2009 ( more over there was leakage of current in body of radio); the service centre(Galaxy Electronics, Ghatkopar) refused to rectify saying it was not service fault but misuse by the user for which they wont repair the radio free of cost but would charge Rs. 350/- They asked me to move to another service centre in Thane or Kalyan. Vision Electronics, Philips authorised service centre refused to even acknowledge the complaint and said that the product had been tampered and I must pay the charges for any repair or service.

3) Warranty expires on 11/2/2009; and there is no mention of the clause that any part has to be repaired only once if it is under warranty.

How can the product / service provider be so much insensitive to the needs & complaints of consumer that too when the product is under warranty

"get a philips 5.1 home theatre (Model n0. Dsp2200) worth rs. 10500 (Handling charges rs. 1499 applicable) with every purchase of hp pavilion notebooks."
So i did the needful and i received this product on 5 jan, 09 and trust me till date today is jan 31, 09.I am not able to use this product for even once...Whenever i insert a dvd into it...My dvd player doesn't accept it and it just flashes 'no disc" everytime...I called in the customer carefive to six times everytime they arrange a technician but the problem is yet unsolved.Since this is a new product so i'd like it to be replaced...It's really annoying.Calling customer care yields no result...Please help..Hope this works now...
