Sony India Complaints & Reviews

Service Request ID: 24684693 Serial No.: 3296106 Model No.: KLV-32EX330 Date of Purchase: 11-11-12 Place of Purchase: Vasanth & Co, Velachery, Chennai After saving a lot of money, finally the day came when i was ready to buy my dream TV "Sony LED Bravia TV". Purchased this TV from Vasanth & Co, Velachery, Chennai. I was really proud when i bought this TV. (which i regret now) But after couple of years, now all of a sudden i noticed display color changing & in a while display will go blurred. I posted a complaint in Sony's web portal & a service engineer visited the next day. He verified the TV & said that the display panel needs to be changed & the estimate will be given tomorrow after he reports at his service center. I got a call from this service center & they sent me an estimate copy which just woke me up from my dreams. Estimate to fix the TV was 11K rupees. More than one third of the value which i paid to purchase this tv has to be spent on fixing it. After seeing this, i went across the internet to find out a lot of such complaints on Sony about their defective display panels across all LCD/LED models which is not lasting more than 1-2 years. I could had chosen some XYZ brand's TV which costs less & ready to give 2-3 years of warranty unlike Sony's 1 year (i think Sony is aware of their defective parts, thats the reason they're sticking with 1 year warranty) This is really a pain for a middle class person to spend such a huge amount on one particular household appliance and also to spend more on the same item. Give me one good reason why i need to spend my hard earned 11k rupees on fixing this Sony brand's LED TV than spending another 9K to buy a cheap LED TV which is ready to give me 2-3 years warranty? I regret why i didn't look at all those negative(true) reviews on Sony TV. I could had saved a lot of money if I did that & also could had been more peaceful right now. If this is a manufacturing defect why do you even sell it to consumers? Why not fix it? Rather than spending money on advertising, why not spend money on R&D to get defective piece fixed. In Sony's caption, it is mentioned as "Make.Believe". You "Made" & we "Believed" you. But you "betrayed" us with the defective pieces. Thanks Sony for giving me such a regretful experience & lesson. (never go behind advertisements) Expecting your response at the earliest on how to take it forward. Yours unhappy customer, Jay

> The manager, > sony mobiles India > > I am writing this email with utmost pain that you people have given to me due to poor services and even worse products that I have come across. > > I bought sony xperia zl in January 2014 which was a great device and it worked perfectly untill mid of year and after that the mic stopped working. I was told that xperia zl is no longer available and only they can exchange it with a refurbished xperia z. > > I had no problems and i accepted the device happily which was the start of my painful experience with sony. Right from day 1 the xperia z was having a problem that it did not wake up when i pressed the lock button. I went to service center again and they replaced the device with another refurbished xperia z. Now that device worked perfectly for another month or a two and after that it experienced a problem where during a call the speaker got turned on automatically leading to call drops. Now this was the limit of my patience, but still I went to service center again and followed the normal process of submitting the phone and waiting for repair. > > I got the phone after a full week and I took that phone to my home happily and then imagine what happened, IT HAD THE EXACTLY SAME PROBLEM AS BEFORE AND ON MY FIRST CALL ITSELF THE CALL GOT ROUTED TO SPEAKER AUTOMATICALLY. > > Now I lost my patience and went to service center and I demanded a BRAND NEW PHONE NO MATTER WHAT. > > The service center guy told me that he will try his best to get a new phone which of course did not happen and I got the same phone with replaced PCB. > > I bluntly denied the phone and I demanded a new phone. I called up customer service N number of times and they placed the call on hold for no less than 10-15 minutes and returned with no solution. They placed several requests for the same but for no good. > I wonder why you people are playing with our money and why the existing customers are treated like anything and all the attention goes to new customers to sell the phones. > > I don't understand why cant you train the customer representatives to at least have a concrete answer and lessen the hold time which is tremendous and makes the customer go crazy > > I don't care about the hold or customer service, at least make your products WORK. > > I have also raised a final request to both customer service and service center to get a brand new replacement but in vain, Its almost 3 monthe since my phone is with service center guys and they don't care to check about the status of request neither I have received any call from customer service. > > With my last hope I am writing this mail and by no chance I will accept anything less than a brand new phone equivalent to my original purchase or higher variant but only in xperia z series. (no M or C series). > Regards > Jagjeet Singh > Service job sheet Ticket no: [protected] > phone: [protected]

Purchased a Sony TV model KDL40EX520 in January 2012 at a cost of Rs.63000/- from Sony world, Indira Nagar, Bangalore. We have VGuard stablizer and the TV is rarely used by us and maintained very well. Around 25/2/2015, we have noticed the color problem in the display.. The screen had a vertical green lines in the display.I tried different inputs and various screen settings including factory reset, but the problem persisted. I then lodged a complaint with Sony Customer Care who gave an Complaint Id: 24497255 . Sony India sent an engineer to inspect the TV who told me that the display panel of the set has failed and will have to be replaced. He told that the cost of panel replacement will be Rs. 24800/-.Since Sony is a trusted brand all over the world and Sony products, particularly, high value items, are expected to give service for a reasonable period.We have checked with different forums, a lot of customers are facing the same/similar issues with this model only. As such it, appears that this particular model has some manufacturing defects from the very beginning. Defective model was sold by Sony centers to the consumers.We believed the Sony products and didn't go for other brands who were offering higher end models for this same price and also we wanted to purchase only from Sony authorized centers.But the result was v.bad and we feel guilty for purchasing sony TV. I request Sony India management to arrange replacement of display panel of my TV, free of cost, as a special case. Regards, Abirami 91-[protected]

I have submmited my sony Xperia- j- st26i for problem of display damage on 18 th of march...but there was no response of your company.I want to know that IF company have damage part then why so much time had to be taken for providing service.pls reply

I bought a LED in December, 2013 and have not being using the TV much since December, 2014. However, suddenly the TV stopped working in the beginning of March, 2015. I registered a complaint with the customer service people and they send a guy to check the TV and he charged me 250 rupees and said the K board is to be replaced and it will cost 6500 rupees. However, he was not able to tell why it stopped working out of the blue and secondly even if I get the board replaced I will get a warranty of just 3 months. First thing that comes is that Sony engineers are so incapable that they can't detect why something is not working and just replace a part and make a customer pay. I feel, I made a mistake of buying a Sony LED TV, since my other LCD and LED's from other companies are working absolutely fine with no complain from past couple of years. This TV from Sony which is not being used much is costing me heavens and on top of that incapable engineer's from Sony are adding fuel to fire by not being able to tell why something which is so costly stopped working and just want me to get it replaced. Probably should not buy anything from Sony in future and also make my friends and family be aware of it Suhail Lilani Phone - [protected] email - [protected]@yahoo.com

Same problem occurred in the month of April (29th April 2014) i took it to service center and next day they updated the software and it was working but this time it is not working at all. I went to Sony service center but they are not ready to open it and and check it they cannot check it then why do they release these types of phones out in market.

Respected All, Sir, i had bought my Xperia Z2 D6502 having IMEI No: [protected] & the warranty time of my device is upto 28/07/2015 as shown in the attached screen shot. Now, due to some mishappening the display of my phone got damaged completely. After this i had visit Sony Authorised Service Center in Rohtak to get the information regarding the same. The executives available at service center told me that your device cannot be repaired under warranty conditions & i have to pay approx 16-18 thousand Rs to repair the same. Also at present my financial conditions also didn't allow me to pay this amount for this repairing.Therefore, you are requested to kindly look into this matter and help me in resolving the same. I will be very thankful for you. Please do the needful. Regards | Ravinder Mob- [protected] email- nysa.[protected]@gmail.com

I bought Sony Xperia C3 dual on 18th March (2015 manufactured) IMEI # [protected]. Later, it was observed with a touch problem within couple of days which I raised it at Lajpat Nagar Sony Authorized service center. They gave me a DOA # D[protected] after a much of mental harrasment and argument to convince them with a touch problem with the handset. After that I received a new handset on 28th March (2014 manufactured) with IMEI# [protected]. With just after 1 day it stopped working and handset screen started flickering. I raised a request at Customer care (Req# [protected]) where Customer executive Pratham Swaroop answered and confirmed that I am liable for a refund since the problem has occurred twice and money would be delivered either by cheque or cash at any of the Sony authorized service center with 3-4 days. But it crossed all the limits of mental harassment when service center at Lajpat nagar refused to refund and to add on it even refused to replace it with a new device and said there is no such policy. I discussed it with Service head and surprisingly he suggested with his reluctant behavior to repair the device as there was some problem in that 2014 lot. I argued, if there was an expected problem it shouldn’t be delivered to customers and why would I go for a repair of a device which is just a day old. I have been thoroughly harassed. Request you to take this matter seriously and provide your suggestions. Thanks, Vineet Saini +911-[protected]

I purchased a Sony BRAVIA TV Model no. KLV-40R482B, Serial no. 3256464, on 4th May 2014. After running without defect from May 2014 to November 2014, it suddenly developed problem in "Screen Mirroring". As the product was under warranty for one year a complaint was registered at customer care who redirected it to M/s Tirupati Enterprises, SONY Service centre, Haridwar on 21st March 2015 vide Job no. J50703311. Since then their engineer visited five times (after calling customer care for 15 times)but could not able to rectify the defect which he also accepted before me. Now, they say that there is no problem in your TV. This is totally a bullying tactics that has been adopted by SONY INDIA so that they do not have to correct the fault. I feel a world renowned brand like SONY should not involve its self in such cheap activity and will act fast to save its reputation. Dr.Virenrda Vir Verma ( Mob:[protected])

I would like to bring to your kind notice that Sony Laptop Model No. SVS13A15GNBN, Serial Number[protected] with Job No. J5063354 dated 13.03.2015 deposited at Sony Authorized Service Centre at Gurgaon with a complaint of Battery Not Charging issue. It has been told to us that System Board need to be replaced. Till today we have no clear commitment when we will get back our laptop after repair.It has been noticed that Sony do not keep spare parts available with them and take too much time to repair / replace any defect in laptops. It becomes difficult for user to work without laptop in the event of such delays since these are used in business environment and that to by top management personnel.Sony must improve their spare parts inventory and cut down service time to avoid such types of harassments even after buying laptop from such renowned company. We appreciate urgent action on our case. Regards Amarjeet Singh (amarjeet.[protected]@kazstroyindia.com) [protected]

I had purchased Mobile phone Sony Xperia Z Ultra C6802, sl no[protected] from M/S Heera Telecom, Satna, under Bill bearing sl no. 4555 dated 26/01/2015. After use of around one and half month the phone became un-operational. It did not get booted ( Started). I went to the shop on 13/03/2015 from where I purchased it. Sony customer care personnel available at the shop attended the phone and told that with in half an hour the phone will become operational, but it did not. Again I went on 17th March, got reply from the shop keeper and the personnel of Sony customer care that it will further take time. I went their 5 times and every time I got the same reply. I don't know how much time it will take to put the mobile operational. I had good faith on Sony's product, so I purchased the Mobile Phone. During selling of product your people talks very sweet, but on problem, their language and response get changed. I purchased the phone by paying Rs. 21200/- and that did not work for one and half month. It has forced me to change my opening about Sony's product. To retain my faith on Sony's product as well as on after sale services, I request you to please arrange replacement of the faulty set as early possible.

I bought a new Sony xperia Z3 mobile before four months. I faced an issue with motherboard after 1month. I gave it to the authorized service center which is Numeric Communication in Bangalore. They took 25days and returned the mobile. And now after 4 months I tried capturing the image under water bucket since it is a water resistant mobile. After capturing the image it became dead and again I gave it to the same service center. I got the reply from them saying that warranty is void due to liquid intrusion and approximately they are charging Rs.19000 to fix the issue. I dont know how water went inside since it is water resistant. I cannot able to bare the cost for fixing the mobile since there is no fault from my side. I request to kindly look forward the issue and help me to get back the mobile or make them to pay back the cash incurred for me to buy the mobile.
