I am rejecting this response because: I've been keeping *** ***, up to date on the issue, and they also thought this was all ridiculous and allowed me to return the TV and replace it with a SamsungI never received a call from a supervisor, as Magnavox stated I would, and they never got the order of things rightI shot the video, as the on-site technician requested, because he was unable to replicate the issue on-siteHe had also seen similar issues with their TVs and mentioned that they can be hard to track downAgain, why I shot the videoI claimed the issues were occurring because they were and I don't appreciate their poorly worded, inaccurate, reply to my issues hereIt also shows their level of care overallAgain, that's why I shot the video, to show that the power on issue was occurringI was in the process of getting the other issues on film when *** *** finally decided to end Magnavox's reign of horrible customer service in my caseWhether a tech replicated them or not, the video clearly indicates an issueHow can they ignore video evidence? Also, Magnavox only ran a minute test because they want to pretend they did somethingNot fixing their broken products is recorded by many customers all over the internetHaving worked in the electronics industry, mostly as a repair technician, for over a decade (including basic circuit design and computer programming) I can tell you that what they should have done at the very least was run an extended test, as this is often necessary with an intermittent issueBetter companies do this because they want their customers to be happy and they actually want to rule out an issueThey know their products will survive an extended test because they're made wellSomething Magnavox may want to strive for in the near futureAgain, they had a video and many reports of failure, after the tech came showing that the problems still existedWhy would I request a replacement if I was going for a scam? I did not claim something that did not happenIn the end they should have at least had a supervisor call me to get the order of events correctWe live in a day and age when people can take videos of issues and rapidly record their problems with companies onlineI would urge Magnavox to join us in the year and have a replacement system like other companies do for month old broken productsIt works like thisMonth old TV is brokenYou ask for a videoYou ship a replacementYou resell the refurbished unit through a company like NeweggMagnavox never stood to lose any money on doing the right thingThey just didn't want toAgain, order of eventsPurchased TVMonth later started having odd power on issuesFinally got around to calling them months after the purchase date since the issues continually got worseAfter several calls an in-home repair was scheduledTech spent minutes "testing" the TV with software tools and did not open to check for lose components, inspect component condition, or replace any partsHe then suggested I make a videoThe next day I reported more power on issues, and reminded them of the issues including random channel changing and mutingSubmitted video of power on issue the same day as #They told me the TV would be replaced, but never called me and stopped responding in any sort of professional manner*** *** also decided they Magnavox was being ridiculous in my case and decided to provide the level of customer service that Magnavox refuses to, allowing me to replace the TV So either they are lying, or never really paid attention in the first placeEither way, I'm sure they'll be out of business soon if they keep behaving this wayNo retailer wants one of their good customers to have to go through this when a new product failsFailure rates are still between and percent for most electronicsMost comapines acknowledge this and fix the issues as they ariseAgain, Magnavox might want to join us all in the year Don't they save enough manufacturing things in China, and having Indian based tech support to give themselves a huge margin to provide good customer service when the inevitable bad batch of TVs comes out?

I am rejecting this response because: How is that a fair response? I didn't ask for the tvWe had agreed to the return checkI called on Friday and asked about it and was told by YOUR PEOPLE that it was in fact a checkShe LIEDIt is NOT FAIR to make me wait just because you made a mistakeYou already said the check had been approvedThe tv that was "mistakenly" sent was not signed forWe told the Fedex driver to return it as it was not what we were told it would beI will not be satisfied with having to wait because Funai keeps making mistakesHow hard is it to keep records straight and send a check?

We advise customer to contact the Service Center for further status on the repair. We will request a call out on our end, however the repair is fulfilled by the repair center not by the company. We apologize for the delay in getting parts out to the Service Center. However parts being on back order or out of stock does not result in a refund. The company will not be offering a refund rather make sure the unit is fully repaired as intended. We thank customer for their patience and understanding. The complaint was regarding parts not received by the Service Center which we have already addressed. Now we must allow the service center to finish performing the repair. We still consider this matter closed.

We are in reply to customers complaint. We would like to apologize to Mr. [redacted] for any inconvenience we might have caused while attempting to replace the unit under warranty. We understand customer is not satisfied with the last exchange processed and the additional warranty coverage already...

offered to customer. At this point we are authorizing customer to receive a full refund paid for the unit itself. Our Manufacturer's Warranty convers only the printer itself. We will NOT be refunding any other claims or charges. We have already instructed somebody from our Escalation Team to reach out to customer to initiate the refund and instruct customer of our Refund process. We urge customer to wait for a phone call or return our phone call to the call center so we may process a full refund for the amount paid for the unit. Since the refund has already been authorized, we consider this matter closed.

We are in reply to Ms. [redacted] complaint. We would like to apologize for any inconveniences we might have caused while attempting to service, in this case replace customer's unit under warranty. The Exchange order was processed 08/07 well within our estimated  Turnaround time. However due to a...

system error the unit never physically shipped. We understand this is an error not related to customer therefore apologize to the customer for never receiving the unit. Unfortunately our Call Center agents do not have access to the system oversight and were not able to catch the unit not being shipped. We are prioritizing this exchange and will shop out to customer as soon as possible. Our Call center team will reach out to customer to provide shipping updates as they become available. We are assuring the exchange will be shipped and consider this matter closed.

We are in reply to Ms. [redacted]'s issue. Customer was called back and we were able to collect more details on the complaint. We have no previous record of the customer ever contacting us for support. Unfortunately the unit has been Our of Manufacturer's Warranty [redacted]age for almost 7 months now. All...

our products come with a 1 year limited warranty that warranties the product for up to a year from the date of purchase. We apologize for any inconveniences we might have caused while attempting to assist the customer with her issue, again because of the age of the unit we will not be offering any Warranty service as the Warranty expired almost 7 months ago on September 2014. If customer purchased an extended warranty at the place of purchase, we recommend customer contacting the Extended Warranty company for further assistance. Since the unit is not [redacted]ed under Warranty we are unable to follow through with Customers request. We now consider this matter closed.

We are in reply to Mr/Mrs. [redacted]. We do not understand the purpose of this follow up. Customer has been called and have been offered a refund. Customer has been explained the return of the unit is required before  the refund can be processed and mailed out to customer. 10/26: Customer called back to notify us they received last exchange damaged. Customer was asked to send in pictures of the damaged unit for claims purposes, and a copy of the purchase receipt. 10/27: We received  the pictures of the damaged unit. Did not receive clear copy of purchase receipt.10/28: Customer was not able to email Purchase receipt, requested to mail physical copy to our corporate address.11/04: Physical copy of the purchase receipt was received. Customer was emailed back instructions for our refund process. 11/10: Received Revdex.com follow up complaint 5 business days after just receiving the purchased receipt.We need the damaged unit returned so we may process the refund as part of our  Refund process. We will not be mailing out the refund until the damaged unit is returned. I have personally requested a box and fed-ex return label to be shipped to customer ASAP. Customer must return the damaged unit. Once damaged unit is returned we will process refund immediately. We consider this matter closed as we have already initiated the refund process for customer. Customer is encouraged to call the call center and speak with a Supervisor or Manager for any questions, follow-ups, or concerns regarding the refund process before opening another complaint.

I reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted] and find the resolution is satisfactory to me.

I have reviewed the response from Luis at the Funai Corporation in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me and I accept their efforts to exchange the television set. I thank them kindly for having taken this matter into consideration to provide me with continued support and belief in Emerson products. Again, thank you kindly to the Revdex.com and the Funai Corporation for helping to reach an agreement on the matter.

As we stated in the original reply, customers unit has been Out of any Warranty coverage since 2013. There are no recalls for this model belonging to customer, nor are there any serious issues that we are aware of from this outdated model.Again, we will not be offering to Repair/Exchange/Refund since the unit is no longer covered under warranty. We thank customer for their time and patience and consider this matter closed.

We are in reply to Ms. [redacted]'s complaint. We have been in constant communication with customer since calling in for assistance. Customer initially was referred to an Authorized Service Center which we are currently confirming with our Warranty Department if they are still in business. The Repair...

shop in question is still active in our service network and have made no attempt to contact us to notify us they are not in business. Customer was then offered In Home Service through another service provider. Unfortunately the company did not have any technicians available for service to customers location.Customer was then set up for exchange. A Box and return label was offered to customer out of courtesy as we are not obligated to provide for the customer, however we understand getting a box to shop the unit in can be a inconvenience. The return box and label was shipped to customer and delivered to customer 9/24. Customer defective unit is currently on route back to the company so we may process an exchange for customer. We ask customer to be Patient and allow the exchange to be processed with in the total turnaround time provided by the call center. Since we are currently in the process of exchanging the unit we consider this matter closed.

We are in reply to Mr. [redacted]'s complaint. We have been in constant communication for over 2 months attempting to process a refund after the unit was deemed unrepairable at one of our Authorized Service Centers. Customer was explained the process for refund, and what he needed to do on his end to...

start the refund process. We mailed out customer a copy of a Letter customer must fill out and sign and return to us along with a copy of the receipt and the original UL Label from behind the unit. This letter along with instructions was sent to customer multiple times. Customer will call back and ask for the refund, our call center agents always provide the same answer. We need the information mailed back to us so we may process the refund. We have also mailed out the letter to another address provided by customer that has provided the same results. We have yet to receive any documentation from customer. Without this documentation we cannot issue a refund. We are waiting on customer to mail back the filled out and signed documents so we may process the refund immediately. Customer is welcomed to continue calling instead of filing another complaint as it will produce the same answer. Since we cannot move forward with the refund until we receive the documents from customer, we no consider this matter closed.

I am rejecting this response because:
 
I need to know the name and address of service center parts are being shipped to.

We are in reply to customers complaint. We made an attempt to reach out to customer today but were not able to speak with customer. We are prioritizing the repair for customer an expect repair and testing to be finalized by 04/28 next week. Our Out Of Warranty team will make another attempt to reach...

out to customer on Monday. We urge customer to allow enough time for us to fulfill the repair as stated. We thank customer for their time and patience, and consider this matter closed.
