Hello all,

few months before, I have give my mobile for service and i have mentioned all defects ( 3 problems) in my mobile.

after some days they called and told the total amount (12, 700.00 rs) for recover all defects. after one week they called me and said your mobile is ready please come and get it.

I have went and checked my mobile it of not fully completed only one defect is completed balance 2 are not completed for that i have to pay additional 15k to 20k. my mobile total cost is 32800.00rs

I said as per your call i'll pay 12700 and give my mobile with full service. otherwise give back it as it is without any service. they accept to give back my mobile.

But still i didn't get my mobile and there is no information from them whenever i call they said simply it is for return so please be clam.

I don't know how long should i wait .

I will never buy another Sony Product Again! 2 of my 3 Sony tv's are having major problems. As well as my Sony Playstation! I will never buy another Sony product again! I am 22 years old and have watched their products deteriorate over the past 1 years. At first I thought it was a fluke but after talking to other people, have found that they are having the same problems too. So my advice to anyone reading these reviews, Stay away from Sony! They used to be quality now they are expensive junk!
I thought by buying a Sony product that I was getting the best but I was wrong. I had a Panasonic for 7 years and never had a issue. What's up SONY ?

Dear Sony, it is quite depressing feedback regarding a newly purchased Sony Xperia Z3 Plus I purchased from Zumbo elc., Elante mall, Chandigarh on 17.05.16. I started facing the problem on the same day when I was unable to get the quick charging response as claimed over the box and overheating, I immediately called the Jumbo officials name Gagneet, the manager and Mandeep, the xecutive who dealt regarding above handset and told the problems I faced. Gagneet above, however assured that this might happening due to the new device and everything will be fine, on assurence, I kept using for another day, but facing the same problem severly I contacted them again and told the whole story. Imp to mention that i had told them that I have a working profile that i will be unable to give visits. Anyhow, I visited taking time out hardly, and told them the problem and showed them, they suggested me to contact the customer service centre, which was shocking for mw as it was newly purchased handset and no one wud like to contact service centre the other day. It was evening, and then I did not get the time due to my working profile, which seeks 24 hours presence from me, and then due to medical emergencies in my family I could not visit. However, I kept informing the above officials time to time. The problems I faced were,
1. Excessive heating, making it difficult to hold even.
2. Non responsive camera even after a simgle click, which does not work in summer sometimes for a single click.
3. Does not get charged quickly as claimed over the nox and explained by above executives.

4. Device shows message that it needs to cool down when using camera for clicking or video.
Further, I had to submit it as I got time in Chandigarh, India sec 47 service centre of Sony, who did not gave me standby handset for use.its very humiliating, harrasing, deceitfull, embarrasing for a customer who is paying considerable amount for faith over a brand like Sony and in return facing this for no fault of mine. I request from Sony to kindly replace my handset as I started facing the problem sice the day I purchased, and had informed the executives time to time andit got delay is unintentional due to medical and profile issue, which was brought in knowledge of officials timely. Thanking you in anticipation. Customee details are below.

Munish Sharma

I am really disappointed by the service provided by sony care.i am also using sony xperia z3 compact and the service center in roop nagar does not deal with out of warranty stuff.i got some prblm with the phone then again i went shastri nagar for four times to get it solved.this is such an irritating thing.if you are providing your service to the customers why don't u provide it full.earlier it was good but now i am very much disappointed with the kind of service u r providing.i won't recommend anybody to buy sony stuff.i am done with sony.now again i can not go to shastri nagar to get it replaced.i will switch over to some other company.

Dear all

I am sudhir kumar and i just got a sony led television from ezone store on 15/04/16 and i socked when i just open the cover and i don't found the remot of led its is useless for me with out remote i am very disappointed for this kind of niglegancy i spend the amount around 13777 it is lose for me.
If i not get the led television remote than i disclose in social media
I post in social media this kind of fraud is doing sony company with the consumer.
I want the soluation.

The basic phone feature are not working properly (Screen remains blank during incoming calls, Immediate battery drainage, Voice not audible to the person in contact during phone call )
Even after multiple submission of phone to service centre & various parts replacement, device is still not working
No proper support from customer care of company
No action from service head (Priyank Chauhan, Customer Relations - Corporate Office, New Delhi )

Issue of no sound no picture was reported to sony customer care on 03.05.2016 with
complaint id : 31986549. The service engineer came and reported that the AC DC adapter needs to be replaced. Advance of 2000 was taken and I was told that the part would be replaced within a week. Three weeks have passed and still there is no progress on the complaint. Whenever I call the service center I am told that the order for the part has been placed but the part has not been received. There is no information as to when the complaint will be addressed

Respected madam/sir,
I bought the sony tv model no kdl46w700a on 29-dec-2013. Now it is 2 years and 5 months old. For the past 2 weeks the display has a single horizontal line and i requested the sony service for help. The service work order no is 32299059. They said the led panel is gone and would cost 30k to replace. It was very shocking for me to digest. We always buy superior brand products who are no 1 in market. I have another sony led tv which is 7 years old with no complaints. Despite your warranty terms and conditions, our trust is more towards the brand and not your warrant terms. This is very shocking for us to accept that sony products went wrong in such a short period.
I have got feedbacks from my uncle and cousin that their 40” led panel also went wrong which they bought it from abroad. So i was in an impression that during transit something would have happened. So i was very confident in buying sony product in india based on my own experience. The problem in my new tv makes me rethink about my trust against sony brand.
Please take this escalation to your senior levels and please replace the led panel without any cost. Hope for a positive response in this regard.

Thanking you,
B. Chitra & sivaraman ramasamy

I have bought xperia z2 in last may and recently after a system update my mic started working weirdly, other person could not hear my voice and then it became distorted too. I went to the service center they kept it for a week and after returning the calls were received on speaker and with the same mic problem. Now i went second time and after coming back the mic problem still prevails and also my internet is not working on 3g. I have confirmed with the network company its the mobile fault. Can you please give a solution to the same as it is still in warranty.

I bought a sony xperia z3 during october 2014. Sony claims it is waterproof. The initial 6 months, i was getting blurry images when shot using its camera. I ignored it. But 2 weeks back, i rubbed the back of the phone with water (To clean it ofcourse). And i noticed water leaking inside the camera lens. The wifi/bluetooth stopped working thereon. It was purely because of the water entering the device.

When i gave the phone for service, i was given an estimation of 14000rs which is so unethical, disloyal and unfair. I cant even sell the mobile for 14000rs.

Now as a customer, when i bought this mobile, i was under the impression that this mobile is a waterproof one. No matter the warranty exists or not, it should act like one.

The phone was never dropped and it was used with a branded american case, please check the condition of the device.

Now tell me, why should i pay a huge sum of money for this device? Its daytime robbery.

Dear madam/sir

I purchased a sony xperia m4 aqua dual mobile on 23.06.2015 through flipkart vide tax invoice no # mum_bndi[protected]. Imei no of the mobile is "[protected]".

Initially it was warming too much. Now sound is totally off. I am unable to hear the voice of other person on call.

I attained sony's authorised service centre at 158 shyama prasad mukherjee road, kalighat, kolkata, west bengal, pin-700026 twice for fixing-up the sound problem.

Although my handset is under warranty period but they denied to provide any service free of cost since there is a very small crack on the touch pad at the edge of my handset. They said, since there is a crack mark on your mobile, your warranty is now invalid and you have to pay for any service.

My mobile is in the warranty period and there is a problem of sound but sony's authorised service centre is denying to provide necessary service.

I have purchased sony experia aqua m4 dual for rs. 19000 on 27.07.2015.
My mobile got automatically locked in first week after purchase and had to submit it to service center.
After receipt o[censored]nlocked phone found that speaker and microphone was not working. Again 2’nd time submitted to service center and in return i got defective refurbished phone and found that dead pixels on screen.
Again 3’rd time submitted to service center and in return again i got defective refurbished phone and found dead pixels on screen at different location.
Now 4’th time i have submitted the phone on 27 april 2016 but i have not received the phone yet.
Most of the time my phone is staying at service center since purchased and i am not able to use it, so i have raised request of refund or replacement with new seal pack device instead of refurbished phone. But till now no resolution received. They are lingering me and wasting my time. This is how sony is treating / harassing their customers.
Person from customer care is replying that i will get new sealed packed phone but service center is denying for the same. Till date no resolution is received. Please do needful.

Dear sir,
I am writing this mail to utter dissatisfaction against the adopted system in replacement of led tv and the lies, false information given by your bhubaneswar based rajpath service centre. I need inform you that i am a owner of 42' led tv model-klv42ex410 which has horizontal lines in panel and damaged speakers. I had an extended warranty from resq, reliance digital based which i gave a complaint to reliance digital people. After due inspection both by sony service and digital, the sony person told me that te panel will be replaced which they couldn't do even after months due to unavailability of spares. Then the sony service person /resq authorities told that resq will be submitting 24000.00 rupees dd to sony and i will be issued a new tv set with same size and similar/more features from sony, which is a general practise. After around 2 months of continuous follow up atlast yesteday the repalcement tv came and to my displeasure i found it to be of 40' inches. I told the installation person not to install it as i needed tv of same size or more.

When i talked to sony service centre, rajpath in bapuji nagar, bhubaneswar, they first gave a casual reply that they were unaware of my size of tv. After some time another person from service centre called me and told as per my room size 40'inch led tv is a good one and he tried to convince me to keep it. I told him i only wanted same size/more tv. My question is where one inch more 43' led tv is already available, why they are forcing their choice to me. If 42' inch led tv production is stopped, then why customer like me will be sufferer for it. Last not the least i always thought sony creates marvelous quality product with longevity but its panel, speakers damaged with in 2 to 3 years. For this i am a big sufferer and going through mental headache and harassment since 2 months. Addition to this at last i am given a small screen size tv which is below par the market price of the product i purchased 3 years back. The current 40' model issued to me is around 15000.00 rupees cheaper than the product klv42ex410 which i bought 4 years back.
I request you kindly to escalate this matter with the designated authorities and replace me with same 42' inch led or 43' led tv at least with similar features as soon as possible. As iam not finding any other way i will highlight this issue in social media and other forums, if it is not resolved.

The Managing Director and all other Directors / Mr. Allwyn Buthello / Ms. Nilima Dharve,
Customer Care – West
Sony India Pvt Limited,
New-Delhi.

Subject: Service of BRAVIA Television Model: KLV-32R412C IN5, Serial No.: 4692750, Purchased on 12th November 2015.

1. This is further to my email sent to you on 12.05.2016 at 11:17 pm, but for no response at all till date, like my previous letters and many reminders to Ms. Nilima Dharve and even her promise to talk to me, but for no response from her till date.

2. This clearly shows that the SONY INDIA management has many GREAT RASCALS and SCOUNDRELS of your variety including Ms. Nilima Dharve and others.

3. As you completely stopped responding to my repeated complaint seeking appropriate redressal of my grievances by providing me fresh warranty from the date of your service to be provided to me (i.e. from today); having no other option, I had to finally allow your local service centre to change the mother board of my TV, which is done today.

4. Please note that even your engineer who visited at my residence today has clearly admitted the fact that the said mother-board was already faulty prior to the delivery of the said TV to me, and he further said that I was lucky enough that the said fault has been noticed by me at early stage and well within the warranty period itself, as the company never entertains any customer after the expiry of the warranty period even if the problem might be persisting from earlier.

5. From this, it would be clear that the company has indeed no just reason, justifiable or otherwise, for not providing me the fresh warranty of entire one year from today (i.e., from the date of change of the said faulty mother-board and service of the said TV).

6. Please note that the company (Sony India) has now became a quite defamed company in India, and many complaints have been filed by many consumers from different corners of the country which are well published on the internet and other social media. I am really surprise to see that almost similar problems have been faced by many others too, as I have faced recently, still the RASCALS of this company do not appear bending even a little bit and changing their usual shoddy conduct, as they are only after selling their shoddy product somehow at quite higher prises, but not at all concerned for the rapidly falling reputation and earning a quite bad reputation for the company.

7. However, absolutely as a last chance, I hereby call upon you to provide me fresh warranty of entire one year from today on the said faulty TV that has been sold to me by you through your local agent M/s. Vijay Sales of Mumbai, under the false and dishonest representations, and in addition, please also arrange to pay me a sum of Rs. 10, 00, 000/- (Rupees Ten Lakhs) for causing immense hardships, harassments, difficulties, torture, pains and sufferings to me for no fault of mine. You are requested to comply with the above requisites strictly within a week from receipt hereof, failing which I may be constrained to file necessary legal proceedings against all of you before the appropriate authority or forum, obviously on your risks as to all cost and consequences, which please note.

Yours truly,

Ajaay S Jajodia, Mumbai
