Sony India Complaints & Reviews

I had purchased the sony vaio laptop from the Vijay sales, kharghar in last 0ctober 2012. In last year, from purchasing date, about 6 to 7 times technical problem faced with the laptop such as display not working, Camera not working, keypad not working, hang, formatting, slow processing. Many times, the problems were solved by contacting and guideline from sony customer care. *Once the laptop admitted to Soni service center, Nagpur. They took 15 days for the display problem and returned. After that display is working, but another problem developed in same such as keypad not working, hang, formatting, slow processing.* In whole last year, laptop works hardly for 8 months and every time new problem developed in system.*I had purchased the system to gift, but from purchasing date the system never gave satisfaction. Its warranty is up to 14.10.2013. With reference above generated request number 15980131 by sony on my email, it has more than 6 days to solve it.There is no contact from sony about the problem. Is there any serious authority in sony to solve customer complaints. What rubbish service by sony to customer.

Sir, I have purchased a lcd model no. KLV-32CX320, Serial no. 7003640 on 22-may-2011 from Siddharth Digital World, E-56, Laxmi Nagar, Vikas Marg, Delhi. From past 20 days, when i switch on the lcd it works for 2-3 hours and then its picture goes out while remaining sound on. I showed it to Unique Quality Experts which is a Sony Authorised Service Centre in Meerut, Job no: J31905583 dated[protected], they made an estimate of Rs.7756/- for repairing it which is totally wrong in my opinion, while it is a manufacturing defect as LCD is working for first 2 -3 hours. I hope that you will help me in receiving the claim ASAP. Vipin Tayal Mob.No. [protected] 101 Shubhdev, opp. Mayank Public School Radhapuri Railway Road Hapur (U.P.) 245101

My complaint request 14926331, 14926344, 14926343,[protected], 15419191, 15861670, & 15519672 have all gone unattended. All that’s done is ticket creation, closure and promises that’s never kept. I am a strict Sony product follower but of late my attitude has changed. Krish Electronics, Mumbai, V V bad service. Reception will not give name and hangs up the phone every single time. Promise to replace Bravia panel in 4 days and collect full cash, still awaiting action, nearing 2 months. All that happens when we call Sony toll free no is, a guy calls to visit and charge me money for the visit. When told it’s a old issue, they ignore it and my complaint is forgotten. On 16.09.2013 spoke with Argha (Complaint Department) who said that our complaint is gone with the senior management team, and they will contact us very shortly. Again on 18.09.2013 spoke with Manish (Complaint Department) who assured that he will call back the same day. And till date 22.09.2013 no calls. Have already written on Facebook, Sony India on September 7 at 1:32pm, and on your website complaint. No response from your end. Spoke to Mr. Alwyn today, believe me the experience was bad. He kept repeating about some company policy about half payment to be made in advance for booking the panel. No consideration about my 2 months delay. He was siding Krish Electronics all the way saying that they had noted that I shall not pay advance, this was of the 1st ticket, rest all forgotten. I guess consumer comes last for Sony. Immediately after this Krish Electronics called and they were ready to accept 100 rs as down payment for booking the panel. Delivery time as per both was 4 business days. But on further enquiry I was informed by the lady at Krish Electronics that the panel was not available in India and was available in Indonesia. On this I again called Alwyn and he was surprised that Krish was ready to accept 1000 rs not half payment for booking the panel. He was also not updated on the availability of the panel. He connected me on a conference call and went on to explain that they were charging 1000 rs as a special consideration fo me. The call got disconnected half way and no one bothered to call me back. Mr Alwyn did not even pick my call. Only when I called through a different no did he pick Up. Seriously, this is the limit for anyone’s patience. I did not ask for anything free from Sony. All that was asked was to get the Panel and take cash, which Mr Alwyn rejected on grounds that it was company policy and cannot be changed, where in Krish electronics could make amends to it. Also promises of a manager calling me, by every service staff and Mr Alwyn has never happened till date. Surprising. This is my last attempt contacting you, hope someone responds favorably. I am however paying Rs 1000 tomorrow to Krish electronics in the hope that they will book the panel and I will get delivery not in 4 days but at least in 2 weeks. In case Sony wants a good customer service consultant to improve service, please call me, I can guarantee that I can not only increase sales but also repeat buy, customer satisfaction. Awaiting response from someone, hopefully. I shall definitely never buy Sony products again nor recommend it. A Totally Dissatisfied - EX Loyal Customer T R Rajiv [protected] / [protected]

It is a premium laptop, top of the line from Sony - quite expensive. Having problems from day one with brightness (complaint #[protected]. Talked to sony several times. The engineer asked me to restore the laptop to original state. Being engineer myself I told him that it won't solve the issue. But he insisted. It was an enormous amount of wastage of time as even after doing that the problem persists. I was told few days very senior engineer will again call me within a day. It did not happen. I called today morning at 10 am; I was told no engineer comes by noon! Then I asked to talk to the supervisor; I was refused. Then I mentioned I will fill a complaint if you won't help me. I was told that the engineer will call me in an hour (that is, by 11:15 am!) Who is lying to whom? Who is taking for a ride a customer? I wonder if this problem can be fixed or I need to hire a lawyer. Please advise as this is my first time on this website. I do not know if this is answered by one of the buyers or the Sony itself (they do not have any option on their website where you can file a complaint).

Hi. Myself Apurva Petkar from Nashik. I bought a Sony Xperia U ST25i handset on 23rd March, 2013 from Impressions Shop, Shalimar, Nasik. Within 5 months it had a weird problem that it got switched off and then was just dead. It was not even charging. So I took it to Sony Service Center in Nasik located at Canada Corner. I was told not to let the handset completely discharge. This same problem I faced within next 15 days again. When I took it to the same service center they again told the same. Within next 8 days I again faced this problem but this time my mobile was not discharged at all. In fact it was completely charged. When I took it to the same service center they told me, motherboard has to be replaced and it will take 8 to 10 days. But now when I called them after 8 days, they said Sony company has not sent the part to us which is to be replaced in the handset. My complaint is if within a month the handset goes out of order so many times, and every time I lose some important data from my phone, it’s a big loss for me and I want my money back. Also the service of the service center is just worst and the service center just does not give satisfactory answers to any customer. Also the job sheets they prepare with just no care at all. Whenever I called the toll free number to get the ticket number, they always say take backup from your phone. But the service center never allows me to take back up of data from my phone. So now I am very much frustrated out of all this and I want my money back that’s it.

This is to inform you that I purchased Sony vaio e series on 16 September2012 and for last 2 months it is in the service centre because the keyboard is dead ... It's a matter of inconvenience that for 2 months I am working without my laptop and everytime they say that they don't have stock of keyboard, there is no supply ...please help me out .

Hi, I did make the mistake of buying sony xperia z 4 months ago .It did't have much issues for the first 2 months .After that one day the phone stopped charging completely .I was also not able to connect the phone to my laptop . So i went to the service center and asked what the problem was and they said that the charging port was damaged and the small chip which docks with the charger has actually come out .I was surprised as i never did any rough use and i have been using phone with similar port for the past 5-6 years . Anyways i accepted the problem caused to be my mistake and asked the repair guy to repair the same .This is when i got the shock of my life .The service center guy simply said that no repair can be done on this phone any where in india .Sony has not trained any one to open the phone it seems .And the alternative he suggested even shocked me further .Pay 20000 and get a replacement .WOW ... Nice way to make money guys .He said that the damage would cost me only 100 or 200 bucks in normal case since it involves just soldering in the small chip back into the charging port .But since this phone cannot be opened there is no way of doing even that .So i asked him what will happen if the phone stops working after one year(after warranty) .He said then also i'll have to apply for replacement paying the same amount.WHAT?????Are you serious .Now my phone is a fully functional brick .Sony's brand value is the main reason why i bought this phone. Way to cheat people guys .And i been writing to you guys explaining my problem .Not sure whom you employ to deal with these issues as most times the reply i get is like a forwarded template .Please at least now help me to get it repaired at minimal cost.

I bought a Xperia M set in Ranchi from a dealer 'Yashvi International', on 7th September 2013. Not even a month have passed and the phone has become crap. The phone doesn't even gets on properly, its always in safe mode. Its a sudden thing which crept in while using it I don't know how. I took it to the service center on 1st October & they are telling me that they will have to replace the mother board & they will take at-least 15 days. Its the " COMPANY POLICY " according to them. Its submitted in the service center at the moment with Job No- W[protected] & Ticket No.- [protected]. I didn't expect this kind of solution from SONY at-least, we get a 1 month replacement warranty even if we buy the products online. And what sort of solution is this for a new phone that too when the service center people too can't can't guarantee its success. They have told- " We will change the mother board each time when you have this problem irrespective of the frequency of the problem i.e. a month or even the next day. We won't replace the set. " In any case I m not going to get just the mother board replaced as it would be the new door to the world of mobile troubles. And I don't want to possess a phone for experiment purpose of the service enter. I want a complete & feasible solution. I WANT MY SET REPLACED or else full refund.

To, Consumer Forum, Mumbai Subject : Replacement of mobile phone Dear Sir/Madam, I am a resident of Mumbai. On 22nd March, 2013 I bought a Sony Xperia Ion with the IMEI number [protected] and the SI number[protected] from Jyot Electronics, Suman Nagar, Chembur, Mumbai for Rs. 30, 000. The company gave a 1 year warranty and any issues within 14 days of purchase there will be replacement. I was said that this is the best model in the market. After all these clauses I have purchased the phone. After a month the phone started giving problems. The problem is whenever I get an incoming call the voice from other side is not heard moreover the phone used to get switched off and automatically used to get on byself. I complaint for it and even my repeated requests for a replacement have fallen on deaf ears. Also the phone has gone to service center twice but still there has been no change, still the problem persists. The shop from which I bought the phone are not ready to take the complaint, instead they asked me to go to service center to get it sorted. Such an irresponsible and non co operative behavior from the shop is not acceptable. And now I am tired of it, therefore request you to kindly accept my complaint letter and file a case against the above mentioned firm. I am enclosing all the necessary documents like the cash memo, the guarantee card. I am looking forward to a favorable response. Thanking You Your's Sincerely Aarti Ramamurthy

Respected sir/Madam, I brought a new Sony LED 3D tv from Bahrain and Imported it to India one and half year ago. Within two months of purchase, I got a serious problem that there is no picture in the screen, only sound is audible. It was repaired by an authorised Sony service center in Chennai. After eight months, the screen is started flickering.Now the top four row of the pixels are turned white. The motions in the screen are moving slow and blur. Sony service person says that there is a problem in the screen, the solution is to change the screen. I shocked to hear that the screen cost Rs.18655 /- . Even a brand new LED 3D TV of my model cost about 40, 000 Rupees in India. Do I want to spend half the price of the TV's total cost for the replacement of the screen within one and half year of purchase???? The warranty expires just four months ago.This is not a minor problem.There is a serious defect in the TV. I thought that sony is known for it quality. But now I want to reconsider my thought. I request u to replace my TV or to replace the screen for FREE. because we are experiencing lots of problem with the screen from the begining.

I had purchased a Sony Vaio laptop (SVE 15113ENB, Sr. No. S[protected]R) through a dealer, Vision Comtech, on November 20, 2011. I had been using the said laptop with utmost care and as per the user manual but started to face problem for the last 5-7 days. Accordingly, my laptop was sent to your Hazra, Kolkata, service centre through Vision Comptech. I was reported by Vision Comtech that your officials at the said service centre has said that the key board of the laptop is defective and needs to be replaced but since the keyboard is now not readily available in India, I have to wait for atleast 25 days for the same to be replaced. The laptop has been returned to me by your service centre. Thereafter, I called your service centre at[protected], and the executive confirmed the above stated facts. Needless to say, I am shocked to hear such a response from your service centre executive and by the apathy shown to the customers. Interestingly, the said laptop is within the warranty period of one year and only 10 months has elapsed from the date of purchase of the said laptop and the parts (in this case keyboard)is not available. Sony sells products but cannot provide after sales service and Sony makes its customers to wait for almost a month to replace a part. Sony must replace the said laptop with a new one of the same value and make immediately. Dhananjoy Karmakar Kolkata [protected]
