Sony India Complaints & Reviews

Hi I had purchased a Sony Xperia U handset and have been facing problems since the very first month of purchase. Details of my purchase are as follows :– Product- Sony Xperia U Black Pink GSM Handset Model Number – ST25i Date of Purchase- 10th November, 2012 Tax Invoice Number – VPM4/ 31633 Bought from- Magnet – the Electronix Mega Store Shop no. G-122, Prime Mall, Irla, Vile Parle (West) Mumbai – 400056 This mobile phone purchased is riddled with problems and once my 1-year warranty expires on 10th November 2013, I would have to pay for the same repairs and additional problems arising in the months ahead. Dealing with Sony has been very difficult with no help from most of its staff and information available online. It is a faceless management with no one apart from helpline numbers and an email address where issues are far from being resolved. The company has extremely poor consumer redressal management. What kind of service does Sony provide when there is no one answerable to their own customers facing problems using their products? What I fail to understand is that how many times am I supposed to visit service centers to give and take back my phone with problems still persisting, feeling great that I have been getting free service? What happens post warranty? My issues are not getting resolved. However once my warranty expires not only do I continue to battle the basic issues, I also start to shell out money for the same repairs and may be more, which Sony service centers have been trying to deal with unsuccessfully in the past one year. I would like to hereby claim my money for the purchased handset INR 14499/- (original bill available) Additionally, I would also like to claim INR 20, 000/- from the company, for all the complete harassment, the mental torture and unnecessary anxiety undergone these past few months. Due to this on-going mess, I have had to purchase a new phone in less than a year due to this malfunctioning handset. Inspite of having given to the service centers, the problems continue to persist. I had given my phone for servicing to the Magnet Store (store of purchase) on 31st July 2013. Job number- W[protected] The phone is currently in the D.N. Nagar (in Andheri west) Sony service center yet again. It was given on 30th October, 2013 Job number- W[protected] All the issues are listed below in detail Had sent a similar mail to the email address (questions.[protected]@support.sonymobile.com) provided by Sony Service Center staff Sent: 11/09/2013 16:24:12 Hi I am sorry to be writing a mail of such content to an esteemed brand such as yours. However my experience using Sony Xperia U (model number ST25i ) has compelled me to approach Sony service centers, helplines and regional managers This is my last resort. I had purchased the phone in Nov 2012 and since then I have been having erratic issues with this phone leaving me guessing all kinds of problems and solutions. Earlier I thought that it was mostly when I was on roaming, because I travelled soon after my purchase (as written below), but over the months I have come to realize that maybe the phone set itself seems faulty. Nov - Dec 2012 - Calcutta -Delhi- Lucknow (Roaming) 1) Battery seemed be lasting for just about 6 hours in a day without even making phone calls. so it is constantly plugged into any charging point available anywhere through most of the day. 2) When put on charge, the battery indicator would not display the charge percentage correctly. However, just restarting the handset changed display so much so that the battery / charge levels increased by about 20 - 30%!!! So how am I supposed to know whether the battery or the display is malfunctioning? 3) Whatsapp and other chat applications like Gtalk become silent on their own. This can happen at any time in the day/night. Restarting brings back the beep /tone set. The phone decides on its own when it needs to stop buzzing on the working of these apps !! smart phone I guess !! 4) At Delhi airport I had no network, no signal whatsoever. Though hundreds of people around me seemed to be just fine with their networks. Restarting phone only meant re adjusting date and time, umpteen times !!! I was not able to communicate with anyone and spent time restarting and selecting and choosing networks, in hope of being able to get some kind of a signal on my handset 5) Battery heats up really fast. no fixed patterns of being on wifi networks, searching phone networks or using certain apps/games could be traced by me. Jan - 2013 - Mumbai ( NOT roaming) Phone seemed more or less fine. i was just glad to be back and have my battery lasting longer than the 6 hrs!!! Since I am based in Mumbai, I assumed, some problems being resolved meant there could be some roaming issues. However problems # 2 #3 and #5 continued even when in Mumbai. Feb 2013 - Jaipur (roaming) All the issues faced earlier (# 1 #2 #3 #4 again at Delhi airport and #5) were back 6) I also noticed that once I disconnected the phone from charger all applications on the phone just hung!! and the ph got really slow in working. 7) Any SMS (normal text messages) received would take a good -30 seconds to just open in the messaging application 8) Network connectivity was terrible. Others on my network seemed to be having absolutely no issues in this regard. Ironically, I was in Jaipur for a Sony xperia ad- shoot and with a malfunctioning handset, it made things really difficult and minute to minute co-ordination with my unit was thrown out of gear. Finally I was compelled to borrow phone because “phone giving trouble” is hardly reason enough in today’s day and age when we take something like a smartphone for granted as it integrates itself into our lives in more ways than imagined !!! Mar- July 2013- Mumbai ( NOT roaming) Phone faced the above issues off and on. Gave my phone for servicing to Sony service centre and got it back hoping the issues were resolved. The phone was given on 31st July and I received it back on 5th August 2013. Aug- Sept - Calcutta (roaming) This visit to Calcutta did not have the battery issues so guessing they may have been resolved at the service centre. However other problems continued so i realised that the service centre visit would happen again. SEPT 2013 - Mumbai (NOT roaming) 2 days after i am back from Calcutta my phone who is still battling with issues inspite of being checked and "serviced" suddenly seems to have a keypad malfunction A touch screen phone is useless once the screen starts to act up Apart from other issues which persisted all along, this was a new one !!! A repair /replacement would cost me way too much to invest into a phone which cost me nearly 15000/-when i purchased it but has absolutely failed to live up to its expectations. My final visit to the service centre was also useless as they said the only way i could get heard was calling helplines (which are usually a total waste of time) or by mailing at this address, when I had actually wanted to speak to some higher authority who would be available to solve this problem for me which has lasted me almost a year. I was told to give it for servicing yet again and any defect ( eg: touchscreen replacement) would not be charged since the phone is still under warranty. However i decided against giving it for servicing till I met someone in Sony who would help me though this. This is the first time I went ahead to buy a Sony Phone because I wanted something new and different. However I have and I will strongly recommend my friends and family against such a foolish decision. I would be really grateful if someone bothered to respond to this mail. However having been through all of this. I would not be surprised if i am disappointed yet again. An extremely upset angry and dissatisfied customer Shubhra Joshi On 30th October, 2013 - I finally managed to meet met Mr. Ashish Parekh (Western regional manager) after almost 2 months of trying to get in touch with someone from Sony, to help me through. All that he asked me to do was give it into the service center once again for repairs. On 31st October, 2013 – Mr. Parekh calls to inform me that he had spoken to the service center and all problems would be solved by replacing the touch screen. He has also said that my warranty would be extended by the number of days my phone stays at the service centre. However I refuse to deal with a handset that has given me so much trouble all these months and want to be compensated for the same. I have been told by Mr Ashish Parekh (Western regional manager) that it is not a company policy to be refunded As an esteemed company, this behaviour from Sony and its employees has been extremely annoying. Within a brief span of 15minutes at the service center, I have witnessed other dissatisfied customers as well, being provided with answers which are just random !! I am glad I am not the only one. Hence now left with no options I would like to complain against Sony and expect matters to be dealt with firmly and resolved at the earliest. Thanking you. Shubhra Joshi

With reference to the subject mentioned above I would like to inform you that, I had purchased a Sony Bravia LCD TV model No. KVL32S530A in 2009 from Malaysia which has an International Warranty. Further I regret to inform you the TV has a manufacturing defect and hence the screen has developed an uneven surface / wrinkled screen due to which the picture is unclear. Kindly do the needful. Hoping and awing for good service from you. Thanks & Regards, Miss Kathy Cardozo +91 [protected]

As a repeat Sony customer, I bought SONY BRAVIA LED LCD TV (KDL 40-EX520) from Croma in August 2011 for Rs. 65, 000/-. Sometime in July 2013, I started to get RED vertical lines near the top edge of the screen. The lines are around an inch long starting from the top edge. Colour of the lines is red when actual screen is black in that area. When there is picture in the top edge area, I see different colours strip at the top one inch of the screen. The lines are permanent irrespective of the input signal. Even when there is no signal, the red lines are visible. I finally called customer care last week. The service rep inspected and told me that the LCD screen is faulty and I will have to shell out round Rs. 22, 000 to get the screen replaced as the TV is out of one year warranty. I saw many SONY customers complaining about this issue online which comes usually within 2 years of operation. Apparantly, there is a major manufacturing defect in the LCD Panel. My service number is 16212125 attended by Aar Vee Infoservices. My question is, Does SONY’s responsibility end with the ending of Warranty? Is it not their moral obligation to give some solution to their customers if the defect is due to bad quality of TV parts? Why should I spend Rs 22, 000/- on the TV repair that is only 2 years old. I was getting the same specification TV’s at less than 75% of the price of the SONY TV but I went for SONY thinking that it is a premium brand and would give me years of trouble free service. Is it too much to expect from you, SONY? Or is it that SONY is premium only in price and not in quality or customer satisfaction? Sanmeet Hundal [protected]

I have a Sony Vaio Laptop (Model: PCG-61A11W). I purchased this around 2 year back. I lost the Screw of my laptop automatically. 3-4 main back side screws. I went your authorised service centre MADONNA SYSTEM & SERVICE, Calicut, Kerala. But they are not having the screw. They are saying it will take one week to get the screw. I wondered that how your service centres not having the basic stuffs like a main screw of the laptop. And a customer need to wait one week a screw. I am working in Orissa and i cannot keep the laptop in service centre or don’t have leave of one week to wait the screw. I am not at all satisfied with service centre people because they way of talking to a customer is very poor and irresponsible. They are saying if you want screw then you order the screw here first by paying amount then after one week it may come. This kind of Service from a standard firm SONY is unexpected and disappointed. At least you have to make sure your authorised service centres having basic stocks and facilities.

SONY INDIA HAS DECEIVED ME.I PURCHASED SONY 3D LED TV KDL W850 AND THEY HAVE NOT PROVIDED ME WITH THE FREE HEADPHONES WORTH RS 13000 AND ALSO THE 3D BUNDLE OFFER FOR WHICH I PAID EXTRA 10000 RS.INITIALLY THEY ASKED ME TO SEND THEM A INVOICE OF THE PURCHASED TV AND SAID THAT THEY WILL SEND THE OFFERED PRODUCTS AT MY DOOR STEP.NOW THEY ARE REFRAINING BY SAYING THAT THE DEALER FROM WHOM I PURCHASED THE TV SET IS NOT AUTHORIZED TO SELL THE TV.IF HE WAS NOT AUTHORIZED THEN HOW SONY SEND THEIR MEN FOR WALL MOUNTING THE NEXT DAY.AND NOW THEY DON'T WANT TO GIVE ME THE OFFERED PRODUCTS.SONY HAS DECEIVED ME IN THIS WAY. SO PEOPLE WHO WANT TO PURCHASE SONY DEMAND THE FREE GIFTS FIRST...AND ALSO REMEMBER SONY IS NOT AT ALL THE BEST THING TO PURCHASE IT IS ONLY EXPENSIVE THAT'S IT.WORST CUSTOMER SUPPORT...NO REPLIES TO THE MAILS...THEY ONLY SIT ON FB WHOLE DAY...REALLY BAD EXPERIENCE THIS DIWALI...!!!-------SO FINALLY NO OFFERS ON SONY PRODUCTS THIS DIWALI------THEY ARE JUST DECEIVING THE CUSTOMERS...

Dear Sir, We admire and value Sony products, but the value is lost when the service is not provided on time. We have brought 47 inch, W850A television on Sunday (27-Oct-2013) and today is Friday (01-Nov-2013) and still we don't have the person attending our house for free installation. We have purchased the TV in Secunderabad at Bajaj Electronics. Request you to kindly consider this complaint at a serious note and do the needful. Regards

Sir, My brothe (Nagesh Hegde) purchased Sony Xperia Z ultra on 16.08.2013 from V Mobiles, Bangalore. Few days ago while riding, my mobile which was there in my pocket undergone pressure which made some broken line inside display. When I took that to Sony Center, Indiranagar they told that buy paying 24k I can get a new handset. But they didn't tell anything about service or the solution which can be done. For the mobile worth 44k, is it really the only display costs half of it's price. Is there any solution which can be done in less amount. Please help me in this matter. I have attached the photos of bill and mobile phone.

I have brought the SONY VIAO laptop on 15th Aug with great hope. overall performance was average but still there was low battery backup and low screen display quality. Just after one and half month later the screen went crack it shows like the broken glass without doing nothing. We just watched moview and closed laptop and opened after a half an hour and swithced on laptop then it has seen that the LCD screen went cracked looking like the broken glass. initially i suspect something might happen externally but i conformed that with no any touch to laptop or without any manual intervention this had happened then i contacted to service centre refused to consider it in warranty rterms. Then i googled it for so I found especially Sony is specialist in this problem. and it is the manufactring fault only so bad is brand. Again the sony customer care is so poor that they dont reply and only they forward to higher athourity but no solution and they are charging about 10000 rupees for replacement. which about 45% of laptop purchase price. SO I request each and everyone of you never buy an Sony Laptop its garbage and it waste of my hardearned money. They just loot the consumers. They dont even listen the what had happened they just say that it is physical damage but they dont eventry to understand the problem I faced huge loss losssssssssssssss. So pls all dont buy this laptop. ACER is the best and next is HP. I want replacement for my sony screen crack because am not responsible for manufacturing fault

i have purchased my xperia z1 on 22 october from then only its heating too much while using WiFi and while making call.Its screen also goes black at the second day but came back. I contacted SONY CENTER -BHOPAL(MANSAROVAR COMPLEX) and told about it.They updated it and said to use it for one day but same problem occurred after one day and i contacted them after one day they do not took the problem seriously and said its a common problem we cant do anything about phone heating. I am not at all satisfied with the service. i want to complain against it.

SIR,
I am a great member of your Sony family for the last 2002 years.I request you to visit my residence once to prove this point.I don’t use any other brand than the spell bounding term SONY.I use Sony tv, handycam, home theatere, digital camera for a long time but all these products are trouble free. i always prefer to buy Sony products as compare to other companies. But it was my ill fate that inspired by these performances.
I brought a Sony xperia SP phone(IMEI [protected]) cell phone on 14.08.2013.After the very first month only the performance was not as per SONY standards.So long it was functioning I did not have time to rectify minor defects like LED problems.But off late since 05/10/13 I am really disappointed.Till date I have given my set for repair at shailu electronics, Mathura (vide work order W[protected]), service centre said that motherboard will be changed by company from chennai, but they have taken 15 days for rectified the problem alongwith changing of motherboard(IMEI [protected]), After 1 day it has lots of problem like restarting, heating, battery problem, hanging, camera not clean, bad battery back up, spot on display.than today I have given my mobile set for repair at shailu electronics, Mathura (vide work order W[protected]
I request you to see that this set is replaced at the earliest as they are unable to repair the same but are harassing me time and again. This phone is not up to the levels of Sony products. Its irritating me a lot So, without my phone I am totally handicapped. So please replace the phone or send my total money back...

YOURS TRULY

My complaint is against Sony india regarding a faulty mother board of my 40ex400 LCD unit.My unit has been in trouble since 3-4 months after we purchased it.In December-12 the mother board of our unit was replaced by a new motherboard by Metal-tech malad-Mumbai who is an authorised service center of Sony.At the time of replacement was assured that there won't be any problem for another 4-5 years, but since September-13 the same problem has occurred.Got in touch with the authorised service centre they say that once again the motherboard has to be replaced for a charge of rs9500 which comes with a warranty of just 3 months from the company itself.Got in touch with the senior manager of Metal-tech but invain...they are not interested in even answering our query...so mailed a complaint to Sony india on 9th October-13 got a complaint no15998824.Its been 15 days now but there is no reply.The service manager says that there is only 3 months warranty on its part, but while getting it replaced was assured that there won't be any issue for another 4-5 years...at the time of replacement paid 9500rs to the service guy and the mother board has to be again replaced with 10 months...What kind of quality product does Sony sell without and service or customer satisfaction that too at a premium price...I just want my motherboard to be replaced free of cost as it is the duty of Sony to stand by their product or any after sales product that has been installed by their own appointed service centre staff... Hope to hear from Sony soon or else will go to the media and will let people know what kind of product and service does a Japanese company is offering to its customer.. thanks Kalpesh.dangarwala.

Hi, After a lot of research and enquiries I purchased my first Sony laptop. The laptop had a very peculiar problem. The row of keys next to the capslk function stopped working immediately after I bought the laptop. I complained and gave the laptop at the service centre and they took a lot of time even answering or addressing the complaint. I then approached the dealer who had sold me the laptop and he replaced it after quite some time. The product he gave me has the following credentials (Product Name-SVT14113CNS, S/N[protected]. Now this product again seems to have the same problem, this row of keys has stopped working for the last 2-3 days. Is this a defect with this product line? I have been using laptops for the last 15 years and this is the first time I'm facing such an issue. I dread going to the Service centre as I know the kind of responses I can expect. I'm a professional who travels and needs access to a laptop all the time. Can I have someone from the product line respond? Or should I take this up in consumer court? I'm very frustrated and have lost a lot of productive time and sleep over this issue. Just imagine when you have a password with a few alphabets amongst these keys, they simply refuse to work. Appreciate a quick response. Thanks, Venu

We purchased a Sony Vaio Laptop (SN115EN) last July (2012) paying Rs 38, 000/- We are facing keyboard problem within 13 months of the purchase On visiting the service center we have been informed that the same needs to be replaced & the replacement cost informed to us is an exorbitant Rs 6, 000 !!! The problem has been reported to the Sony service mail id sonyindia.[protected]@ap.sony.com via complaint no [protected] since 2 months & we have just received mail replies to the same We have requested free replacement of the faulty keyboard since more than 3 weeks & we were asked details of service center visited On providing these details, we have received no revert on the matter since more than 10 days Really wonder how low has brand like SONY & high end products like Vaio & the service of such a reputed company dropped !

JOB NUMBER - J31457821 COMPLAINT Nos[protected],[protected]. I bought SONY VAIO laptop – VAIO SVE14133 Sr no 0003115 on 3rd August 2013. While using it only for the first time there was a problem with my screen(LED). First of all my complaint was not actioned for 7 days and after repeated calls to customer care - On 13 August, I was promised by the local repair centre(Unique Quality Experts) that the laptop would be replaced free of cost. After about 7 days, 19th August 2013, I got a call again from the service center to submit my laptop and it would be replaced with a new one within 3-4 days. Hence I submitted the laptop for replacement. Again after 3 days - 22 August 2013 I got a call from service centre that company has stopped manufacturing this model and new product with only different model number(F14212SN) but same configuration would be provided to me - free of cost. I provided my consent even though the laptop offered me was of lower configuration[battery and camera]. Then on 23rd August I was asked to sign a form and assured that again in 2-3 days my laptop would be exchanged but I got a call later that I need to pay near about 2000 INR for getting a new laptop. First of all - They could not explain me why should I pay for the new laptop(F14212SN) when it has a lower configuration than the older one? Moreover, the newer model contains only a 4 cell battery and a 0.9 megapixel whereas the original product SVE14133 had a 6 cell battery with 1.3 megapixel camera - REST OF THE CONFIGURATION BEING THE SAME. I agreed to the unethical and relentless demand of paying Rs 2000/- as I did not want to get into litigation and all for such a small amount. However even after paying Rs 2000/- on 30th September 3013, by DD no - 419925, Punjab National Bank, however I have not been given the new laptop so far. Now imagine the amount of harassment caused to me.. Customer care representatives keep on lying and lying.. There is no escalation matrix on the website.. I wonder how Sony is operating in India without any ethics or morals !?! I have been constantly following up with Jasmeet Singh, ASI - Delhi, Sony - who never gives any satisfactory response. Atleast the people reading this post - never ever go for any Sony products.

I HAVE PURCHASE XPERIA ION (LT28H) 6MONTHS BACK AND WITHIN 6MONTHS I AM FACING ENORMOUS PROBLEMS IN MY CELL AND EVEN SONY SERVICE CENTER IS NOT REPAIRING MY CELL PROPERLY. I AM NOT AT ALL SATISFIED WITH THE PRODUCT NOR WITH THE SERVICE. MY CELL IS REPAIRED THRICE IN SERVICE CENTER BUT STILL SAME PROBLEM I AM FACING. I HAVE ALL 3 REPAIR JOB SHEETS WITH ME.IF WITHIN MY WARRANTY REMAING OF 6MONTHS, IF MY CELL IS NOT REPLACED THEN SURELY I AM GONNA USE SOCIAL NETWORKING MEDIA SUCH AS FACEBOOK, TWITTER ETC AND I WILL WRITE ABOUT MY BAD EXPERIENCE AND TELL PEOPLE NOT TO GO FOR SONY PRODUCT... THIS I AM GOING TO EVERY MOMENT SO THAT ALL PEOPLE COMES TO KNOW ABOUT MY WORST EXPERIANCE AND ABOUT SONY PRODUCTS..
