Sony India Complaints & Reviews

I have had my laptop in Sony authorized service center for more than a month now. They said the part is not avaiIable so an alternate solution will be provided. I tried to reach them, through different channels. Nobody is giving a proper response as to when a resolution will be provided. I am so fed up of the follow ups. In spite of taking the advance for repair, they have not been able to repair the laptop

I am A.S.Muthanna, residing in Pollibetta, Coorg District, Karnataka. I had purchased a SONY 46" television exactly two and half years back. Since about three weeks the top half of the TV is blurr and visibility is very poor. On complaining the technician visited and advised that the panel (Screen has to be changed). This was too shocking for me, because I can not accept that the panel of a reputed Sony TV can give trouble in such a short time. He also said that the panel will have to be changed at a cost of Rs.28, 000/- which was a bigger shock for me. Kindly advise me in this regard and help me change the panel at a minimum cost. I suppose this is a very rare phenomenon for a SONY TV.

Awaiting a favourable response,

A.S.Muthanna.

Hello. I have a sony vaio SVF15212SNBIN5 and its been 6 months since i have bought it. At first the laptop performed quite fine but now 10 days ago my laptop crashed. I immediately contacted the "Costumer Care" and lodged a complaint. Personally i hated their way of talking and handling costumers. Also i never got the service at the right time. Ever since then, the costumer care is ignoring my issue and finally i have decided that i want a replacement. I am fed up of your services and this laptop. I recently got a minor electric shock when i touched the HDMI port. I want my complaint to be treated very seriously. I hope there are still some sensible employees in Sony. Thanks Ishu Bagga [protected] My Model No- SVF15212SNBIN5 Serial No- 0002651 Date of Purchase- 28th May 2014

Hi This is Shovan Das (mail:[protected]@yahoo.co.in). I am from howrah, West Bengal. My complaint is writtent below I bought Sony Xperia Z on 2013 august. Hassles started right at the time of purchase. I wanted to purchase Xperia Z Ultra but my lack of notice and sales person trick, i finally ended with Xperia Z. I escalate this matter to SOny but respectfully i have been told that I am helpless so i have to be happy with Xperia Z. Though this...

This is to inform you that I had submitted my phone on the date of 4/11/2014, behalf of that I had also attached the photos of space where the incident happened as well as spoken to sony field verification officers also. Now still the date of 28/11/2014 I didn't received any kind o[censored]pdate from service center from sony reg service center "numeric.communication situated in malleswaram Bangalore as well from sony also hence requesting you to kindly help the customers within a month atleast . If cant issue replacement, issue jobsheet from service center .solve issue as early as possible as am waiting from 4/11/2014 .Even service center people they are not taking the phone also .

Without trail or service, how service center called up us(customer)? My Sony expire hand over to service center on last 10 days ago, I got sms for delivery 20th nov. Today, when I got my phone its did not working. But they are sign me the paper with out checking my phone. Why so? When we go samsung or nuke service center, when they delivery anything, in front o[censored]s 1st check then sign up any paper. I am completely unsatisfied.

I am Abhishek Kumar from Pune. I had submitted my phone (Sony Xperia ZR IMEI No: [protected]) for repairing purpose (screen cracked) at Aradhya Enterprises, the authorized repairing center for Sony Mobiles in Pune.

The mobile had been given for repair on the 8th October 2014 as mentioned in the below attachment. The analysis was that phone cannot be repaired and a replacement needs to be initiated. The service center asked me to pay 50% price of the mobile (Rs 11500) for replacement. The mobile was promised to be delivered within 15 days of payment (verbal confirmation).

Unfortunately, I have been calling the service center from 29th October 2014 for the status of the replacement mobile. The service center asked me to wait for a week more for the status. This wait has been extended to a month now (till date) and there is no concrete word on the status of the mobile, let alone me getting that.

After pestering the service center for a long time (very unfortunate that I had to go through such begging for my own paid mobile), they came up with a strategy to provide me a used mobile as a replacement for the new mobile I was to receive(the same model) on the 25th Nov 2014, which I declined to accept(after all what kind of deal is that!!!). Further aggravating my pain, they have provided me with a temporary mobile for usage, diminishing all hopes of receiving the replacement any time soon.

Sorry for this detailed explanation, but it was to drive home the point of what experience SONY INDIA is providing to its customers who have invested in the brand. From 8th Oct 2014 till date, I have spent so much of time (I have lost the count of time!!!) shuttling between my office and the customer service center. Also I feel so sorry to see the disheartened faces of the customer center executives on seeing me, like the looks when having an unwanted guest.

I am out of clues on what to do regarding my replacement mobile. The only option which seems to be remaining is to get back the money which I paid for replacement and the mobile and invest it in some other brand which may be more TRUSTWORTHY and CUSTOMER SATISFACTION oriented. Expected the same from SONY, but sorry to be proved otherwise.

As a part of a last redemption attempt, I am trying to put my experience before you, please let me know in case you can help me out of my current situation. After spending 38k+, i have ended up using a used Sony WT19i. What options do I have??

I purchased Sony Xperia T2 Ultra in the month of April 2014. I used it for 6 months. On 6th Oct. 2014, I submitted it to Sony Service Center. They returned it on 8th after updating the software. I again encountered the same problem after 2 days. Again, I submitted on 11th and got it back on 14th with updated software. Again history repeated and I had submitted on 20th Oct. This time Sony Engineers worked for more than two weeks. I received my phone on 4th Nov. with updated software. This time I thought Sony Engineers worked hard for 2 weeks and my device is fully fine but I was wrong. I have to resubmit my phone on 21st Nov with Ticket ID W[protected]. Sony Support Officers promised me that my phone will be examined by their Head Office Engineers but they have again updated the software and returning my phone. I am really fed-up of their service and want a replacement. Please help me in this issue.

I purchased sony bravia led on 12th aug 2013. Since last 10 days my tv was getting switched on snd off abruptly for which I made an official complaint with sony customer care on 22nd nov at 11.30 am and complaint no is 22524959. Since then no service enngineer had tried to contact and visit my place even after continuous follow ups. I have not received any support from customer care or sony management whom I have contacted through mail. Every time I got the same reply "your case is on priority and we have escalated." Its been 3 working days since I made a complaint and I wonder how such so called esteemed company fo mot bother about their customers...

Dear Sir/Mam,
1. I had purchased a SONY XPERIA M (IMIE No [protected]) on 19 jun 2014. It has developed problem of PHONE NOT CHARGING. Twice it has been deposited for repair in Service Centre at Dwarka sector 7, New Delhi, but it has not been repaired. On 23 Nov 14 and 25 Nov 14 again visited the service centre but they have refused to take the phone for repair, as they kept the phone for 2-3 hrs and returned saying that it has been repaired but it has not been done.
2. IF YOU CANNOT REPAIR IT, PLEASE CHANGE THE SET OR RETURN THE AMOUNT.

Before reading my story Call Chennai regional office number which Sony mentioned at their website ALWAYS NOT REACHABLE...This is how sony cheating their customers Dear Sir,  I have purchased Sony Xperia L on 18.11.13 with IMEI No: [protected] Invoice No:8913  One year warranty promised by Sony at the time of purchase.  After using your product I faced lots of problem. The major concern is Loud speaker doesn’t work & extra Cheap noise coming along with ringtone. So I have visited your service centre 5 times but problem not solved. Third time service your representative promised me that they will replace the mobile with new one if problem exists. The same problem happened again. But still Sony requesting me to use the mobile with same condition. I submitted 3 videos on 4th service & 3 videos on 5th service with date & IMEI number for more clarity. The videos are regarding what is the exact problem.  1. The mobile alarm will not work on morning. I cannot wake up on time. So I have to use another mobile for alarm 2. Cheap noise coming along with ringtone. In office everyone laugh at me while phone ringing. So I always use mobile on silent mode 3. Five times I visited service centre so I have to take off from my office. I have to travel too long to reach your service centre. Only three service centres in Chennai 4. Every time I have to arrange alternate phone 5. I cannot use social media on mobile. The only reason I purchased a Smart phone is I want to Keep on touch with others on social media 6. No one taking responsibility to solve the issues  The above concerns I have explained through frequent mails, Phone calls and directly visiting service centre. Even I captured Problem video to help Sony to solve issue by seeing real problem condition. I will write the same thing on all social websites. Please wake up Sony before customer get into Violation

The captioned handset is not working, have already logged a call for the same with M/s Aditya Infosolutions, authorised Sony service center, B-11, Tilak Marg, Dali Bagh, Near Ganna Sansthan, Up -Lucknow - 226001. Ticket Id is [protected] dt 19/11/2014, Job No. is W[protected] dt 19/11/2014. It was informed that the handset would be repaired within 4-5 working days but yesterday on enquiring about the same it was informed that concerned part is not available, neither at Lucknow not at New Delhi, it will be imported from Sweden. Further standby set was also not provided which is causing inconvenience. It was informed that standby set was also not available. Consumer goes for Sony products for its brand value & service quality but with this kind of service quality at authorised service center, it comples to give a second thought for purchasing any Sony product, going forward. Am highly dissatisfied with the services rendered. It is requested to provide the earliest resolution of the same. Richa Singh [protected]
