Samsung India Complaints & Reviews

I have purchased a Samsung LED TV from Indra Sound at Indra Square Market in Bangkok on 2nd Novemeber 2011.
Since January2012, it is not working and the service centre is refusing to repair it under international warranty.
I have corresponded via email with Samsung, but nothing positive is being done.
I was given to understand that as soon as one registers the product online, the international warranty is valid.

Dear Sir,

Samsung Refrigerator Model No. RT77KBTS of 570 litres sold to my aged mother on 15.3.12 still proves to be defective. On complaining the service technician had come on 4.4.12 and place the handle back saying it will never come out again. But within a week the handle came off again. The technician was again called and this time he did not turn up, because the refrigerator is a problem one and cannot be set right. So you see, Samsung has cheated my mother by selling a defective frige through its dealer, Khosla Electronics, Beckbagan, Kolkata without showing her the model. As there was no buyer for this model, my aged mother with dim eyesight was forced to take it on delivery and exchange. As the old fridge was taken away, she had no choice but to us the new one as otherwise the food taken out of the old fridge would go bad, had to be put back in the new one without knowing that the handle is defective. It means Samsung sells its defective products in this manner through its dealer Khosla Electronics.

The refrigerator is big and costly and no amend is being made to set it right neither by the company nor
its dealer.

Yours sincerly,
Mrs. J. Mundle

I had purchased the mobile four months back through Infibeam (online) and found that one headphone channel is not working. I consulted with Infibeam customer care service member and they suggested to go Samsung service center as it's in warranty. I had submitted the mobile on 11/04/2012 . Initially they told job will be done within two days. After four days one of Samsung engineer ( Mr. Sukanta Swain) called me and saying some parts is missing so it will not be in warranty and estimate will be around Rs.2100 INR. Regarding this I had a discussion with Mr. Vikramjit Sarkar (Area Sales Manager) also.
I discussion the same with Infibeam Customer care today and they promised to provide assistance to Samsung regarding the same if its needed.

As a poor customer I am escalating this to the higher management of Samsung to get proper service as my phone is in warranty.

Hii,

I bought a new samsung mobile phone B7722 on 07.04.2012 and I have attached the details below:

Dealer: HASH10 telecom Pvt. Ltd.
116, Madani Complex,
100ft. road, Coimbatore-12. Ph:[protected]
Invoice no: 71
date&time: 07.04.12 & 01.50PM.
IMEI no: [protected]
Amount: 10500INR

COMPLAINT: The mobile got repaired the same day on the purchase,
1. The Display button is not working and the display too.
2. My ears are paining while speaking on the handset.
3. The sound from the mobile is similar to china handset mobiles and irritating.

I contacted the Samsung customer care regarding this , and they did not respond properly and I demanded them to replace my mobile with a new one or else refund the amount paid. They told that the mobile problem is rectified and they can't replace me with a new mobile. I am not willing to take this mobile since it got too much repairs the very same day of purchase. So , plz render judgement and refund me the amount paid from the samsung company. I am totally disappointed with this mobile and the manufactured company.

Thanks in advance,
N. Manoharan

I have purchased a Samsung Galaxy 5 (GT-I5503) mobile hand set from M/s Sai Traders Karol Bagh Delhi on 14 March 2012 vide Bill No. 4590. After 2-3 days it started functioning erratically, I visited the Service Centre at Mahavir Enclave they stated since it is still working they don't find any thing wrong. All of sudden on 12 April m2012 the phone switched off at its own and did not boot up despite the battery being fully charged. I again visited service centre at Mahavir Enclave again they opened the phone and stated that this set is category item hence they do not accept and honour any such warranty. After calling customer care more than thirty times I was advised to visit service center again. I have again visited the service center at Nehru Place they said the phone need software update, but refused to carry out stating that since it is category item they do not honour any warranty and instead I was asked to pay Rs. 281at the sernior manager level by Mr Abhishek. After calling the customer care several times the reply almost that either I pay up the money or beg the manager to oblige me, Customer is King (stupid) Samsung way.

Again and again I have no respite.

Please help me out.

Sir,
As we are associated with the servie of samsung mobile phone the time frame is must for success in our profession, but unfortunately your Branch
of Sector-4, Bokaro seel city has own time table to work. We hardly get consingment sent from Our warehouse Ranchi to our place.His Irresponsible behaviour affects our business as we can not deliver the hand set on time to our customer
My office Distance from Your Branch Office of overnite is hardly 200 mts. when we get information by calling on phone no- [protected] a lady staff receives the call says that Overnite office has no manpower to deliver the consingment so come & pickup the same from your end.
When my office boy go for depositing the consingment at evening the shop remains close saying the office staff is out for collection of the consingment pl. come next day. How can we work with them pl. suggest.
Earlier also we have made such type of complain but nothing has been done in this regard . It is very shamefull for the Reputed company like u.
Thanks

I had bought a Samsung Galaxy S2 phone in December from a shop in Bangalore. However, I am very unhappy with the product as the device is consistently giving major problems. In this regard I have visited the authorized service centre on at least 6-7 occasions in the last 4 months. The service centres always say that there is a software issue and each time they merely format the phone and restore it to the factory settings. But I know from my several experiences that this solution is of no help and the problems keep coming back. The product is under a 6 month warranty and hence each time the service centre is providing free service currently. However, this seems to be a tactic for buying time and after another two months the warranty will lapse and then I will be required to pay in case these problems persist.

Hence I would like to know if I can insist of a replacement since the product is consistently giving problems (despite more than 6 visits to the service centre), if I can initiate legal proceedings against Samsung in case they refuse to replace the device and what is the procedure for initiating legal proceedings against Samsung in consumer court.

As I got the problem in my samsung washing machine on 28/3/12. I have call in customer care centre. The engineer come on 29/3/12 and do the inspection. I have show him a problem regarding machine personallly. He took machine on 30/3/12 to service workshop to repair it. They call me on 31/3/12 and said that we are sendinf machine to your residence, the problem is solved. Next day on 1/4/12 machine comes but problem is as it is. It is not repaired. From that day I have called to customer care centre 4 times and in surat workshop also. But till now on 14/4/12 no engineer comes to my house to repair it. I was not getting the setvice from samsung company from last 10 days. Please do the needful regards.

I have bought a Samsung Microwave Oven on 06/04/2012 from Vasnath & co Ltd Padi ,Chennai,India .I have called up the Samsung Customer Care for installing the Oven and nobody has turned up so far .It's amost more than a 5 days
I am really Frustrated with the Customer Care.If... My Complaint No:[protected]

i bougt a samsung phone galaxy s 1-9003. after 1 month i got to know that it had some problem due to which it got hanged up now and then. i deposited the phone 2 times to the authorised service center of samsung in kanpur but they failed to solve the problem and tried to make certain excuses that the problem was due to usage of a big capacity 8 gb card and downloading apps from android store. i felt that i was been made fool. the last time they said that the circuit board of phone would be replaced but they would not provide me free warranty repairs after that. i was very shocked on listening this statement that after spending rs 17,700/- and being under such problem they are saying this to me. it was very rediculous. i m really upset by this statement of that samsung service centre representative. please help me out in such a condition. because this problem is now been a mental torture for me.

Dear Abhirami,

I would like to thank you for the response received by your personnel.
I had indeed been to your service center for resolution of my request.
However the service center team did not accept my request for replacing the handset & they had communicated that the policy of the company for replacing the handset will happen only when some parts are replaced
Now this policy does not augurs well with my case as many a times I had visited your center for repairs. If your service center does not replace parts at the first or second or even third instances then I may not be penalized citing company policies.

I leave it it you for making a decision on whether to replace it or not.
If not I will go ahead and purchase a new handset and for obvious reason it will no longer be a SAMSUNG brand.

A very dis-satisfied customer.

This side Kiran Singh, I bought one Samsung-S239 , IMEI No is -a[protected]e596 battery no- 123 charger no -123 , purchased mobile on 13/06/2011 from jai mobile stores. the problem of switch off is taking place from initial ,But now after eight months or so , the screen become blank , i faced the problem with the hand Set, that was dead. and after chasing the guys of customer care they inform me to pay for the repairing of the same, while the phone set is under warranty.

Now when i went to samsung service centre, they are asking for rs.2500 for the repairing , putting up remarks that the mobile screen is not working due to water .Even i said that the water has not been put by me in my mobile phone there must be some internal problem due to which this problem arises.but still they are not listening and harassing me .
i don't have such free time to chase the samsung guys for this again & again.

Now i want the replacement of this hand set.
If this time, they will not support me, i will go to the consumer court & i will chase all the guys From higher management of Samsung India & service centre also in court.

If you guys can help me in the replacement of this handset then i will be thankful to you.

On the same day they serviced my phone and gave it back to me but after that there were some other problems, I found in my phone which wasn’t earlier before that service on which I got a doubt that the service person might have changed some original parts of my phone and I again went there on dated 20/03/2012 for the complaint of my phone. The Service person while serving break my phone in front of me and said that “Ab aapke phone ki warranty khatam ho gayi hai, ab aage se aap isey kabhi bhi free mei thik karwane ke liye hamare pass nahi laoge” and on my objection, the manager of above mentioned service centre named HARSH misbehaved with me, used abusive language and start to do scuffle with me. After that when I ask them to give me in written that they open my phone, a female service person destroy the Job card of my phone which is made by the service person and other documents which is related to my cell phone and the same by my noticing all the incident was also recorded in the cameras fitted there and also noticed by some other consumers in the service centre.

5. That on the same time at 4:18 pm I call the P.C.R to solve the matter but they do not pay any heed and even humiliated me saying that “Teri aukad hi kya hai, tujhse Jo kuch ho tu wo kar le, Hume jo karna tha wo humne kar ke dikha diya”.

6. That when the P.C.R police officers feel that the misbehaving of service centre persons are continue and they don’t want to solve the matter, they transfer and registered the matter to LP local police station. and after some time when IO came there and trying to solve the matter. Manager Harsh said that “Isey ab se payment toh karni hi padegi, ab kuch nahi ho sakta”and said to me tujhe jaha complaint karni hai waha kar le mera kuch nahi bigad sakta meri pahuch bahot upar tak hai, or mere liye toh vakil Samsung wale karenge.After that IO took the Manager Harsh to the police station.

7. That when I feel that the manager harsh does not want to solved the matter and regularly misbehaved with me, I filed a written complaint to the police station wide DD. No.37A. Dt.20/03/2012.



I, therefore call upon you through this legal notice to respond within 15 days of the service of the
same as to:-


1. Why I should not file a complaint to Monopolies and Restrictive Trade Practices Commission (MRTPC) for unfair trade practice?

2. Why should I not complaint in consumer forum?

3. Why I should not institute criminal as well as civil proceedings in competent court of jurisdiction against your company and service centre for breach of contract, humiliation, and harassment etc caused due to snag in your product and your service centre?

4. Why I should not file a suit against your company for Damages/Compensation?

5. Why I should not made the Samsung Company Party to proceedings?

6. Why should I not send a complaint to the Australian Company “CELL NET” (Add: 59-61 Qantas Drive Eagle Farm, Queensland 4009) whose name you are using?

Otherwise I would be contrant to initiate all possible legal actions against you at your cost and risk.
