Sony India Complaints & Reviews

My Sony Bravia LED TV KLV-24EX430 gone dead(Not Powering on) in just 1 and half years from its purchase, I Purchased it on 23-Jan-2013 for Rs 17900.After showing that TV to Sony service centre, at Nawathe plot, Amravati they replied me that Main Board gone faulty and given estimated cost for repair about Rs 6500.
What is the minimum life span for LED TV from a brand like SONY?
Should Customer consider Its life span equals to Warranty period (1 Year)...
Should Customer buy a sony TV per year ??!!!
If an LED TV from a brand like Sony doesn’t work for even 1.6 years, and its repairing cost is going near 1/3 to 1/2 of its total MRP, On what basis should customers differentiate between Sony and other cheaper brands? It makes more sense to buy products from cheaper brands which cost far less, and unfortunately if there are problems, the repairs are also going to be cheaper.
Even if Main Board is replaced, what if it stops working after a year?
Should I pay 6500 rupees per year for repair to sony TV ? I believe Sony will again come asking for more money to replace that as well.
Its therefore turns out to be a heavy investment buying a Sony product and investing on it year after year to keep it functional. And I have no reasons to believe that the replaced panel will work longer if original does not works.
To make things more frustrating, Customer Care is hopeless. I have mailed them twice with logged ref no 20279790, 20327386. Both the time they given no reply on mail, They only called on my mobile and asked me about "Should i am intrested to repair my TV at their provided estimated cost(Rs 6500/-)" on Not ??????????
Now please suggest me should I go for Repair a sony TV in sony service centre at estimated cost Rs 6500/- OR I put same amount in it and purchase New LED TV with different Brands.
Also suggest what should I do with with my current New Brand Dead Sony Bravia LED TV KLV-EX430.
PLEASE DO SUGGEST...
Although, This is my Last reply for you.Now from onwards in my life I am not going to deal with SONY any more & same should be suggested to others also...
Thank you for cheap Quality product with high cost, worst service & Hopeless trust for "BRAND SONY."

purchased xperia p about 1.5 years backs and facing problem with the phone just after 3months from the purchase... shown in sony authorised sevice center several times but everytime new problem arises with the phone now i m facing battery problem...so kindly look into the matter..n reply

Dear Sir,

I had Purchased the SONY LED KDL-40EX700 from Doha in 2010, on July 10th 2014 the TV started displyaining more of green color, I register a case with sony authorized service centre (METALTECH) first of all they are all useless bunch of people, very bad attitude and service,

Now the complain,

The service centre sent a technician at my residence, he mentioned that the coil is not working and he removed the coil from the TV and only got back after two weeks, after fixing the coil it made the TV worse, the engineer mentioned that the motherboard is gone, I am surprised how was the TV working before the coil was replaced, and if the motherboard was bad the TV should have been completely DEAD, it was not. however withour questioning I gave the engineer a advance on Rs4000.00 and he did not even give a receipt.

There was no revert from the Authorised service centre until I called, they told me that motherboard is not available in the begining, then they asked me to send them a copy of the purchased bill, I am not claiming warranty I am willing to pay for the repairs, what was the reason of the bill is it to harrass the customer, then the lady from the service centre mentions that we will offer 25% discount on purchase of new SONY TV and take back my unrepairable one, this is a nice way of making money instead of repairing the TV. I have checked on the internet and this model of the TV is not on the list of end of life, and in four year SONY would stop manufacturing spares,

I had asked the servive centre engineering Yogesh, to refund the four thousand rs and make the TV as it was before the sony service centre had touched it.

I hope there will be action taken and this does not go unheard.

Thank You
Edwin

Sir i am part gupta from ludhaina punjab region i had vosited to your service centre in ludhiana located in BRS NAGAR ferozpur road, there seating space the service centre is much smaller then it's actul needed no Drinking Water was kept, only 2 service exectives were are available i had to wait for more then 1 hour for my turn, IN SHORT YOUR SERVICE CENTRE IS IN ADVERSE CONDITION

I recently purchased a brand new 40 inch Truluminous Televison model no: KDL40W900AIM5 from the Sony TV center showroom at Phoenix Mall, Lower Parel Mumbai during Fifa 2014 Worldcup. To my surprise within one month o[censored]sing the television I saw a yellow vertical strip on the right hand side. I ran dvd's, cable tv, xbox games but that vertical yellow strip is constantly appearing on the television. I registered a complain with Sony Service customer care ref no : 20233017. To my disgust they provided the wrong address to the service person who later called me and told me that the area was out of his service and that I should re-register my complain. I registered a new complain once again ref no : 20285474 and I was informed that the service would be attended on high priority basis. Till date no has even bothered to call me or attend to my complaint. Really a shocker from such a reputed company for not attending calls when a product is under warranty.

Hi sir, I purchased Sony KEL46EX720 on 15/01/12 and now the display of the tv is overlapping . I registered a compliant with customer care 19981038 and later an executive visited and stated the approx price value for display is 30, 000 but he didn't took up further since my residence zone is not under his service area so another guy from Clarity service centre annanagar came and given another approx value of 25, 000. since the value of both the guys are having big difference i once again registered a compliant to cusotmer care service request no 2017071 . At this stage susmita head service conatcted me and said that she will do the needfull then another guy called and said that the display cost will be around 40, 000 INR . On hearing this i really shocked with two things one is with the wrong price informatiions and another one is with the quality of the Product with such a good brand value . After several phone conversations with susmita it seems they have ended up in concluding by giving a oudated tv model KDL46W96A by paying a amount of 40000 INR . i cannot bear this huge amount since it is not my problem . Kindly note : I am totally stressed and netally tortured under the leadership of susmita. I need the exact model tv to be serviced or if replacement of tv is to be done then the tv should be of higher variant or of same model what i have currently. Velyudhan [protected]

Dear Sir/Madam, Recently I purchased "Sony Xperia T2 Ultra". After 15 days it started malfunctioning and keep going into safe mode.I took the assistance from Sony Service center located at borivali. They returned the phone to me after 8 days. But the next day the same problem occurred again. When i went to the same service center to report the problem they again kept my phone in there custody.Now its been 10 days since the phone is in there custody and I have not got the solution for my problem. They say that they are waiting for some part to arrive. If that is the case indeed then why the respective part was not replaced in the first place. Currently the situation is that my phone is with Service center for more days than i had it with me.

The LED panel went defective in Jan 2012 and was replaced under warranty on 10-04-12 at Visakhapatnam (job card no. HS[protected], BY SS Agencies, Visakhapatnam(contact details [protected]/[protected]). 3. The replaced LED screen also went defective and was replaced again on[protected]invoice no. J2/FY12-05/000341 Dated 26-05-12, by SS Agencies, Visakhapatnam). 4. Again my tv has developed the same defect on 27-06-14 at Mumbai ( complaint reported vide Sony request no. 19778024,[protected] and 19953578.). The service engineer from your Authorized Service Centre M/s. Aar Vee Infoservices recommended replacement of LED panel with a repair estimate of Rs. 21, 257/-. 5. My grievance is that why a High Quality Sony tv worth RS 70000 go bad every year. Yes, its a electronic eqpt and hence could fail. My question is why the same component goes bad every time even after replacement. I suspect the the quality of replaced component and my specific piece of tv is of substandard quality. I request the company to re-look into the recurrent defect of ny TV and carry out a detailed technical analysis and audit. It is a clear cut case of POOR QUALITY product and i want my tv be repaired / replaced free of cost. It is requested that following information be provided to us:- (a) Details of total nos. of KDL - 40EX520 SOLD FROM 19 feb 2011 till todate. (b) Total nos. of complaints regarding LED panel failure during the above mentioned period. (c) LOT No. of REPLACED LED panel in my case and total nos. of LED panel FAILURES in the same lot from Jan 2012 till to date. 6. I would also like put on record the telephonic communication with following Sony Representatives, whose sole point of argument is based only on the financial expenditure likely to be incurred by Sony Coy in getting my TV repaired by the coy. These gentlemen are not willing to accept that my TV has turned out to be a rogue piece of equipment and needs replacement:- (a) Mr Allwyn Buthello ([protected]) - Officer-Customer Relation – West (b) Mr Rawal ([protected]) - Technical Head - West (c) Ms Reema Parvi - Officer -Sony Service Centre M/s. Aar Vee Infoservices 7. As a customer i am very aggreived with the Sony company's attitude in handling my UNIQUE sequence of recurrent defect.

Dear Sir/Mam, It is disappointing and painful for me to write complain against Such Branded Company. I am one of the prominent customer of your reputed Organization having Laptop, Television, Camera etc all of Sony brand. But Camera (Model No- DSC-WX200/SCE[protected] which I bought last year in the month of September got damaged (LCD broken and camera switch broken) though I argued with Sony service centre that it is not physically damaged since uper cover was intact and internal LCD got damaged which was declared Physical damage by Service centre, even though there was not even a single scratch on the camera still it was declared as Physical damage. I accepted the same and submitted my Camera for maintenance at Sony Service Centre on dated 12 July 14 at Happy Care Services Nayapalli, Bhubaneswar Odisha and was assured that it will be rectified soon.Surprisingly no response I got from Service centre even till today. I enquired the same on around 25 July and got the reply that they will get back to me within half an hour but still I am waiting for that half an hour. Today morning at around 10:30 am, I again tried but all phone numbers were found switch off. I am writing this complain after so many try since I live in Jharsuguda Odisha and it is not possible for me to go again and again to BBSR to see them personally. Such type of Service from SONY was not expected and it s forcing me to rethink in future to purchase any product from SONY. Hope for positive response from your side.

Hi all I brought a Sony Led of 70k from Croma Bangalore in Nov 2013. Bill- SLF02A[protected]. I am facing sound issue from starting have raised many complain (BON290414FS00003 and new one BON060714FS00002 and BON240714FS00020 ) but no solutions. Croma raised many complain with Sony Noida service center (SR[protected] no solution provided by Sony they replaced the board still same sound issue is there this all going last one month. Closed the complaint without confirm with me . I did a big mistake to buy Sony product. No Service after sell they are very unprofessional. I got cheated but suggest other to keep away and do not buy sony product. They don’t care customer after sold the product. The language service center/Engineer was using are very ruff. Keep it up your 3rd class customer service and lost your customer.Sony India not worth to busy any product.
