Sony India Complaints & Reviews

I brought Sony Ericson W205 last week.It hangs frequently and its battery is not charging to 100% even it was charged for 2 days.I am also hearing a sound from charger when it is charging.

I have lodged a complaint No. 5975319 with customer care ten days back. There is no picture on the screen and only blue screen light. Sound is there but no video. Kindly see to it that there is somebody atleast responding to the complaints. Without a TV life is miserable for retired people like us. My address is : -

Sir,
I have brought sony;s brand new handset Yari on 24.12.09 and immediately after 1 month the phone started hanging and to my knowledge it was one of the best phones launched at the price band of 15000. So after spending on brand name and latest handset this is what i have gone through. I contacted the service centre in janakpuri and they told me software upgradation that meant i have lost all my data (Phone no.s and songs and all other datas stored).After15 days it again hanged and i have to go through same process then i decided that i wont comehere again even if it hangs but the problem got worse in august some peculiar things started to happen and i have gone to service centre they first upgraded the software and when they call me the same hanging problem got worst as they were claiming my hadset was ok. They immediately issued me on 16th aug10complaint no. SE310RJK14674and till date i.e 26.9.10no bodyin call centre or janakpuri district centre is telling me when will i get my mobile more so the callcentre people have given me false dates and same is with service centre person but till date i dont know what is happening and where and when will i get my mobile This is the way they are handling the customer . I swear by I wont buy any sony or ericcson product and what ever products i have bought of sony i wont take them to there any of the service centre wether it is TV or tape recrder or any thing. Hope i will get my mobile in one peice.

I would like to register a complain against Mr. Manish ([protected]) from Sony Center, Ambience Mall NH-8 Gurgaon.

Date: 25th September, 2010

I went to buy Sony Vaio VPCEC35FG/BI and paid Rs. 63,300.00 via my credit card.
Mr. Manish promised us to deliver the laptop at my house in Dwarka around 8 to 8.30pm
I kept calling him till 10.00pm and last he told me that the guy is on his way to deliver the laptop.
After that he stopped picking up my phone, even switched off his mobile till morning 9.00am.

Date: 26th September, 2010

I again called him in morning, the phone was on waiting but he never cared to call back once. I am still waiting for his response. I paid the money with no product in my hand yet. This is ridiculous and after this experience I am not coming back to Sony center again for any other buy.

I want some action asap.

A few days back my Sony Television Model KV-XF21M83 with S. No. 0734616 developed problem in swiching on the Television. I immediatly registered a on line complaint with Sony Customer Care, New Delhi on 23.9.2010. My complaint no. is 6003669.Immediately after registering complaint on line I confirmed it on Customer care toll free no [protected]. The customers care representative Mr. Ravinder confirmed that my complaint will be addressed on 24.9.2010 noon. He also gave me the no.[protected] of their service provider M/s Digital Rainbow in Ghaziabad. I tried this no. for last 3 days and to my surprise this no. is continuously busy. My nightmare not ended here, when checked with the customer care representative on 24.9.2010 noon, he told me that complaint will be attended by 24.9.2010 evening. When no one turned up even on 24.9.2010, I again checked with the customer care and to my utter surprise the customer care representative Mr. Bikram Jeet gave me the shock by saying that all complaints are addressed with in 48 hrs of their registration, so in my case it will be addressed latest by 25.9.2010 at 12 noon without fail. When I asked the question that why all along I have been given assurance that it will be addressed latest on 24.9.2010, moreover why in Sony’s on line complaint registration form why customer are asked to give date on which they want compliant to be addressed. There were no answers.

I waited all along on 24.9.2010, no one turned up to address the complaint. Even on 25.9.2010, I waited till 12 noon, no one turned up. After so much of humiliation I again checked up with the customer care, why none has turned up? There was no firm answer from Mr. Ravinder of Sony Customer Care.

I am really frustrated & disturbed by the attitude of Sony India Limited. The company is merely interested in making profits by giving falls promises to the customers. I don’t know where to go for redressal of my complaints. If Sony India is interested only in making profits and not interested in Customer care, they should quit their business. This is cheating.

I got the servicing done for the laptop Model no: VGN-CS24GH & job no:551 and submitted on 30.08.2010
The total charge mentioned to me for servicing of my laptop including the sevice charge was Rs 6000 and I made sure that I confirm it no. of times. But while making the bill, they mentioned the bill of Rs 6709. When asked for the Rs 6000 service confirmation I agreed to pay but charging over and above has to be write off.
So the service centres of VAIO are cheating there customers by costing unusually higher amount inspite of confirming again & again. I demand your serious inquiry into this matters against Srikara Marketing services Ltd.

Hi, I am Mrs. Das. My son purchased a W395. The problem started since a month. The mobile suddenly goes blank and hangs up.So I gave the same to the service centre at ECR, Thiruvanmiyur.Chennai ph.[protected] on 17th Sept, 2010. Let me mention here that the mobile is still under warranty. Every day I keep calling and the answer is that they have not got the spareparts from the head office. I am sure because it is under warranty they are not the least interested in repairing the same. My son is facing a lot of problem without a mobile.
I request the concerned authorities to look into this matter.
My workorder no. is SE310EC112502

sir
i Dr.K.Ravikanth using sony ericsson W995 mobile since 1 yr, and since 30 Aug i had problem with my ear piece ( i wasn't able to listen any voice) in my mobile so i had given my mobile to sonu ericsson service centre in Udupi on 1/09/10 with bill no: 6876 and since 24 days there is no response from service centre to give the details the delay ,they are completely irresponsible and when ever i call they used say that no stock to replace and i took back the mobile from there so that i can give in other service centre on 24/09/10 and now its not getting switched on which was not the complaint before and even now there is no response from the service centre . so please do the needful.

I purchased SonyLCD 32T400A dt.[protected] from dealer at Borivali(E) with Sr. No1205149. Now the picture quality is not proper, The complaint lodged to Sony services attended & charged the fee & told that it has a problem of colour processor as this problem is unique. This can though solved by replacing the colour processor by the company in few rupees the company will ask to get entire board to be replaced & charged heavily is the policy of company.Hence my prayer is that the company may replace the colour processor & take the repair charges.The company only for attending charge Rs.990/-is also non acceptable, since the product is belong to them & instead repairing their prouduct they take the undue advantage of the situation.I hope you may help in this matter & do the needful under intimation pl.

My Telephone was purchased on 20th April 2010, Vivaz Silver S/N [protected] company invoice no. 0658 (copy attached) On 3rd of July the phone was dropped at the maintenance section of the company due to a problem with the charger (following charging the Unit, I proceeded to remove the charging plug from the Mobile in which the whole socket came out with the plug). Receipt no. 0139 (copy attached) When taken to the mentioned section there was an argument concerning the problem and how it happened.
The phone was only two months old and this problem can not happen to a well made Mobile.
We finally resolve the issue with a 30 USD payment to fix the problem, even though I still think that warranty should cover this yet capitulated to what the agent demanded since I realized that they are just not concerned about my plights.
In a week time when the parts arrived. I was told that the screen of the mobile was not working; I replied that I have brought the phone for the charger socket only. Why I was not told that there was a fault with the screen before hand? I had no problems with the screen before hand.
I mentioned again that the phone was still under warranty and they have replied that the warranty does not cover such faults.
Up to this point I was given promises that the phone will be fixed. Not replaced.
I am shocked that a reputable company such as Sony Ericsson is not being able to satisfy its customers; personally I would call that agent in Yemen and rate his service as in unsatisfactory customer service and a RIP OFF.
Grateful if you could look at this matter, Sony Ericsson will not lose their reputation for such an agent.
On 19 August I went to Sony Ericsson to check on the progress on my phone, I was told it was ready to be picked up with a payment of $100 up front.
Now when was It a common practice to get things fixed prior to customer approval, I should have been told before hand what the problem was with the phone and whether or not the warranty should cover the cost. Also, who authorized the dealer to change parts without my approval?
How cans the dealer, tell me that they have changed parts and give me a price after the fact. This is bad business and gives Sony Ericsson (a reputable company) a bad name. Thanks.

This is regarding my Sony TV serviving given to Digital services,Kamothe,Navi Mumbai 400 209.
My Tv was taken for rrepairing on 298th July 2010 TV was dead. On 31/7/2010 the mother board was brought back after repairing and i paid Rs 3150/- receipt no 794 dt 31/7/2010. After two days the TV became dead and i had to call for repaiiring as they had offered me 6 months guarantee. digital services sent the engineer after 15 dyas insipe of repeated calls and then they started the game of transfering by saying call this person or that and sometimesnot even attending to the call. The TV was taken again and after 15 days was repaired and as soon as the mohterbooard was fitted the Tv worked only for 10 minutes. i had to call again for repqiring which they came that too after repeated calling day and night after 10 days. from the time they have taken and upto today they have not repaired the set and whenever we ccall no one answer nor if picked up say i do not know and at last connected to owner says it is ready i shall senf it to you tomorrow moning. But sadly no one comes . Upto today 22/9/2010 no one has come. Please look into this matter.
i would like to know how do you decide to give autorisation to any one without proper scrutiny because this is spoiling the name of Sony which is the brand i had always faith on.
this digital serives has most poorest service it does not deserve to be giiven the autorisation.
I have been taken a very big ride and made to go round and round and made a fool by the service centre.

I hope u will being a reputed company will seriously look into this matter

I was gifted my sony ericsson mobile J105i in December 2009. From approx. last two months my mobile is not charging properly and also the receipient is not able to listen to what i am speaking. I have to speak very loud so as to make other person listen to me. After a very poor experience with sony ericsson's service centre in baroda (RT OUTSOURCING SERVICES LTD.-BARODA), I finally gave my mobile for service on 1st sept. 2010 to them which they said would be repaired in 15 days and get back to me. Today after 21 days on inquiry i came to know that my PCB is not passed and they will be sending my mobile as it is and i will be getting it by this weekend(i.e. 25th sept. 2010). They say that my mobile is not in warranty. Company claims to give 1 year of warranty and my warranty period expires in december 2010.

My question is why they take this long time for getting the service done and what's the meaning of warranty of big company like sony.

I am fed up with this mobile and would request everyone to not to buy sony ericsson's mobile.

regards,

I have purchased a Sony CYBERSHOT Model DSC-T90 from ShopNo 37,LGF Shipra Mall, Shipra Sun City Indrapuram Ghaziabad in Feb 2010.Now my camera charger is not working and i want to replace it as my camera is in warranty period of 1 year. When I went to shop and talk about it, they said Serial number of camera and the serial number mentioned in warranty card are different, we can’t do anything. They also said to complain to SONY as its fault from company side not from us. When I contacted SONY about my problem they said Serial number on Camera is different what is mentioned in Invoice and warranty card. So you have to show the proof that this is the same camera you have purchased and dismiss by complain.

Please help me as i haven't get any postive response neither from shopkeeper nor from SONY company.

I bought SONY VAIO in the month of April'2009.

My Laptop was suddenly shut down. I went to the Lajpat Nagar, Service Centre, New Delhi, they recd. my laptop and after 3 days they called me that the set is o.k. I picked up on 31.08.2010. Interestingly they said that there was no problem at all, they once removed the batttery and the set was running. I took the set home. After reaching home it was not starting.

Again around on 3rd Sep September,I took my set to Lajpat Nagar Service Centre, They kept the set and on 07.09.2010, I received a call that my set is ready. After asking that waht was the problem, they said the fan has been replaced, now everything is perfect. I reached home , one day it was working fine but second day it was completely dead again.

Again I called them about the same problem and took the set to Lajpat Nagar on 11.09.2010, the same day in the evening , I received a call from the Service Centre that the Mother Board is faulty and it has to be replaced. According to them, that will cost me around Rs. 15000/-.

I mean, what is this, did I make any crime buying SONY products. It has passed only one year and the Mother Board is gone. I spent around 55000/- for what. Look at your service department and there quality, efficiency. Thay did not trace out the problem 3 times they got paraded and now they are saying somethiong else.

Upon inspection of the set by our engineer, no symptom was observed. The set was kept under observation for 3 days and delivered to you on 01.09.2010.

IT IS NOT THAT SONY, JAPAN NOW. IT IS SONY CHINA, THEY DO NOT HAVE CONTROL OVER THE QUALITY.

I have purchased LCD Bravia from sony authorized dealer on Feb'09.
It got malfunctioned in Mar'09 and entire LCD pannel got replaced by service centre.
Now LCD pannel again got defective in Aug'10, i have registered complaint through customer care and mail to sony care. Till now it was not resolved. Sony service centre told me that your LCD pannel needs to be replaced, i doubt this time it will be rightly replaced or not or if this problem can come again.
LCD pannel is so expensive that i can purchase a new TV in that cost.
Today i have reached again to customer care and they have booked a new complaint and when i asked them for the escalation matrix of sony india, they refuse to give it to me.
I want to escalate this issue to the highest level of sony india so that they are aware about the quality of products and services they are offering here in India.
