Review: Re: KDL50W800C

On 6/**/2015, we purchased a Sony TV through [redacted]. Upon receiving it and installing it, we discovered using the enclosed TV stand that the TV *LEANS FORWARD* and because of this, seems unstable should we encounter another earthquake. On 6/** we contacted Sony to report this problem, and were told that little rubber feet that would normally be attached to the front of the TV stand, were missing from our purchase and needed to be replaced. On this date, we were told that the part would be sent to us via 2 day shipping. One week later, we still didn't receive this promised part. Today, 7/*/2015, I received a phone call allegedly from Sony's esculation department saying that the part was currently unavailable. Initially, rep Yuri told me that while Sony does not have this new part yet, that I could shop for it myself. It was only after I pressed her to help ensure where I needed to go exactly and locally, that it became clear that NO ONE has this part yet - as it is a new product. She told me it would be another month before this item would be available. She knew about the unsteadiness of their product that SHOULD have already included this part. As I understand it, even though only the 3 rubber feet are missing, that replacing it would require totally replacing the entire TV stand in order to have access to little, included parts. I made her aware that time was an issue, so she knew the risk both of us were taking in waiting. Knowing this, I ultimately gave in and told her I would accept getting the missing part that should have been included with my product (but wasn't) better later than never. She then said she would authorize a buy-back in order to replace the missing rubber feet. She wanted me to send the tv back (which would require taking the tv apart, finding a box large enough to ship a 50-inch television, and then absorbing shipping cost. But even if we did accept this long tedious process, we'd still find ourselves without a TV. The TV works GREAT, and we won't don't think it makes sense to return the entire TV *just to replace 3 rubber feet attached to a metal TV stand." I told her that this was unacceptable AND A GREAT HARDSHIP, all for the sake of 3 rubber feet. This was unacceptable and didn't make any sense, and I flat out told her so. I told her to just ship it to us when they have it. At this point, she withdrew her offer to do so, stating that RETURNING A 50 INCH TV WAS MY ONLY OPTION to remedy the missing feet. I found this to be unreasonable and I repeatedly told her so, and that I would accept getting the missing part sometime in the next 30 days. I asked to speak to a manager, but Yuri responded "I'm as high as you can get." So she refused to pass my call onto someone with greater authority. Since Yuri was continuing to be argumentative, I closed out the call re-stating that I would be expecting the missing part as agreed to earlier in the next 30 days.Desired Settlement: A correct TV stand for our KDL50W800C tv that includes ALL related parts INCLUDING the 3 rubber feet that normally attach to the TV stand frame. In the end, all we want is what we paid for and never got -- the complete TV stand for our product. Fair is fair.

Response:

Dear Revdex.com,Thank you for contacting Sony Electronics Inc. regarding the complaint your office received from [redacted] regarding the Sony KDL50W800C. Sony has contacted the customer and was advised that as of today we don't have the part needed. We do not want him to wait any longer and be with out a television that is why we are offering a brand new replacement for the same model. However, should he decline that offer the last option would be to buyback the amount he paid for the television. We also sent an email with the same content and we are waiting for his decision on the matter. Sincerely,Jim C[redacted]?

Response:

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted].On 7/**, I spoke with representative Joseph at which time he agreed to exchange the TV that was purchased with parts missing for a new one. I was told to expect delivery within 5 to 7 business days and that the following would transpire. Joseph said he "guaranteed" that the new TV would absolutely include the missing parts,namely the little “feet” that are to be included with the TV stand assembly that serve to stabilize the TV and prevent it from leaning forward. This simple missing part is the sole reason for this exchange.Joseph also said that he was supplying me with the appropriate materials to re-package the old set to ship it back to them, that I would not be charged for return shipping, and that he obtained approval to have a carrier subsequently pick up the old TV from my home for return to them.On the condition that the previously missing parts are finally provided and included with the new TV and that shipping occurs as agreed to above, I find that this resolution is satisfactory to me and that the matter has been resolved, as long as this replacement product includes the previously missing TV stand "feet." In the event that this does not occur, I will seek to re-address this at that time. Hopefully, this will not be necessary and I thank you and Sony for your assistance in resolving this matter.

Sincerely,

Review: I purchased a new TV from [redacted] in [redacted] it was delivered to my home September [redacted] 2015. Prior to my purchase I visited the Thousand Oaks [redacted] Store, where the sales representative told me that it was the company policy to give a 15 day grace period and that within that time frame [redacted] would exchange or refund my money if I was not happy with my purchase. He went on to say if it was a few days over that would not be a problem. I did in fact purchase my new TV from the [redacted] store. The TV worked great for the first 10 to 12 days then around October [redacted] it malfunctioned (picture went snowy) it would work fine one day and then break the next, the problem is intermittent. Regrettably I did not take it back to the store at that time. I was busy and did not have the time. I did phone the Simi store on October [redacted] and spoke with Laura she said someone would call me back within the hour, no one called. The next day I boxed up the TV and returned it to the store, they would not accept the return saying it was out of their return policy time frame. They did test the TV and it worked fine. (its an intermittent problem) I brought it home it worked fine, the next day its broken again. The store assistant manager Felix N[redacted] told me to call Sony and have them come out to fix it. I went to the store to talk with the Manager Sia T[redacted] over the next few days but he was not at the store when I visited. I called Sony customer support on November [redacted] and was assisted by Shad she told me after a lot of questions and being put on hold several times that I was eligible for a NEW replacement TV and that she was making arrangements for that shipment. At the end our long engagement she told me that she would be transferring me to another person who would finalize the arrangements. I was transferred to Jan who instead of taking care of the delivery of the new TV started all over again with the same questions. So here we are. My wife phone Sony customer support November [redacted] without any luck in resolving the problem. They told her that someone would call her back within 24 hours, no one has called. So we now have our new $4,000 TV in the house (not working) and we are back using our old Sony TV. We are more than a little frustrated!Desired Settlement: I would like a NEW, NOT REFURBISHED replacement TV the same or better features than the one I purchased as Sony's representative Shad told me on November [redacted] 2015, or my money back.

Dear Dispute Resolution Services:Thank you for contacting Sony Electronics Inc. regarding the complaint your office received from Michael Polhill about the Sony 4K Ultra HD TV (XBR75X850C). Sony has contacted this customer and was advised that the warranty coverage of his television is for repair. We explained to the customer how the repair process works but since the customer was not satisfied of having a new TV repaired, we considered the customer's request to send him a new television with the same model number. We also advised the customer that the replacement TV will have the remaining warranty of the original unit. The customer accepted the agreement for the new replacement TV, and Sony considers this case resolved.Thanks, Jim C[redacted]

Dear Dispute Resolution Services:

Sony contacted the customer today and was given the CEVA tracking number of the replacement TV which is [redacted]. The customer was advised that according to CEVA Logistics’ website, the estimated delivery is on 11/**/2015. However, the customer claimed that someone from CEVA already called him and was advised that the delivery is scheduled for today. We advised the customer to contact CEVA directly as the tracking information we provided him was based from their website. The customer agreed to contact them to confirm the delivery.

Thanks,

Response:

First I would like to say thank you to the Revdex.com for their help in this matter. The new TV has arrived and appears to be working great. I am saddened that I had to go to these lengths to get this problem resolved. Sony does not know this, but all of the electronics in my home are Sony brand. I have been a very good Sony customer. I was further disappointed that Sony only offered me the balance of the original warranty. It would have been a nice touch to give the full 12 month warranty on the new TV. I feel this treatment of me to be mean spirited. We are only talking about about 6 weeks coverage. No matter, clearly Sony wishes to have the shortest relationship possible with me. How sad. I will never buy another Sony product.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me and the matter has been resolved.

Sincerely,

Review: I purchased a Sony Walkman Sony NWZ [redacted] S/N [redacted]. When the unit failed within the warranty period I tried to get service through Sony's website, they failed to reply. I finally got their service to escalate it to someone who actually talked, previously I was just getting automated apology emails. They then refused service because I didn't have the emails sent to them during the warranty period, I didn't have them because Sony requires the message be submitted on-line through the website and not email! I had to attempt to have the player repaired myself and it was destroyed! That never would have happened if Sony didn't ignore me and then refuse service again because I didn't have the messages from their website, not emails, messages because that is how they ask to be contacted for a warranty. They ignore messages until the warranty is over then refuse service because out of warranty, it is no one's fault but their own shady service behavior! After refusing service they also tried to sell me a player, not provide service, they tried to get me to buy another one, meanwhile I had contacted them during the warranty period for a replacement and they ignored me to dodge the warranty and then tried to get me to pay them for another one.Desired Settlement: A Sony mp3 Player to replace the one that should have been replaced when I contacted them during warranty, now! I should ask for repair fee's (tools, supplies, etc.) also but I shall settle for a replacement.

[Your Answer Here]

I asked the Revdex.com to adjust the complaint immediately after sending, it wasn't. It should have asked for an "apology replacement" for inferior or complete lack of service. This was and is a lengthy irritating time with Sony products and service, an apology is due, words in this situation from a business are without substance or value, an appropriate apology would be a complimentary replacement. Ignoring me during warranty then trying to sell me another player after the warranty expired is not apologetic, it is insulting and not acceptable in any way. I was first ignored then I had to email Sony recently many times just to get someone to talk about service, the service was then also not helpful. I don't have the unit any longer, I might have sent the wrong number, I have two numbers it is either S/N [redacted] or [redacted].

Your service representative asked for the original messages sent to Sony, for warranty assistance you do not have email, the messages were sent through the Sony website, I received no emails from Sony, how could I have those messages if you never emailed, service was of no help, they said they didn't have the messages. You never provided the service that should have been, only providing a lengthy stressful irritation, not service, since originally messaging Sony a long time ago I have misplaced the printed receipt, if you helped then I had the receipt, and the defective unit. I have my units serial number, it is [redacted] or [redacted]. Regardless at this point I asked not for ordinary warranty service, I asked for an apology in the form of a complimentary replacement player for this lengthy irritating time with either no service by ignoring me, then inferior service by not immediately letting me talk with someone about the situation, then inferior again by not having the messages sent during warranty and trying to sell me a player. I would appreciate the aforementioned apology.

Those were the numbers on the player, I even gave those numbers to your service representative and they had a manufacturing date and everything for it, and it was the mp3 player not a computer.

I'm never buying Sony again, your service is terrible. You ignore customers until the warranty is over then reply with an attempt to try and sell them new players, shame on you sony, never buying from you again

Review: February [redacted] 2014, I placed my order #[redacted] Bluetooth® Wireless Sports Headset Item: 27-MDRAS700BT/L Color: Blue on Sony Store online and received it on February [redacted] 2014. However, after I opened the shipping box, without even opening its original packaging, through its clear see-through packaging, I saw the headset clearly come defective as wires are exposed in left driver, which is missing the outer layer plastic or a cover that would hide all the wires underneath it. Without hesitation, I called Sony customer service at ###-###-#### and reported my incident. After 20 minutes or so on the phone with customer service then tech support, I was given a RMA# or Reference# [redacted] and instructed to ship the defective item for exchange to Sony Exchange Center, [redacted]. I was patiently waiting for my exchange item for the whole time until March [redacted], 2014 I received an email from [redacted].

"Dear [redacted],

We have received your product for replacement, however, we didn't receive your proof of purchase (P.O.P.).We need your P.O.P to process your product; otherwise it will be considered Out of Warranty.

I replied to [redacted]'s email and forwarded my order confirmation email to him. I also called Sony Customer Relations at ###-###-#### and expressed my frustration and disappointment. I always buy Sony when it comes to electronics. I have owned a MD Walkman, a 52 inch HD LCD TV, a sound system with 5 speakers, PS3, multiple mobile devices including my latest gadget Xperia Z1s. I have always thought Sony is a prestigious brand that associates with great quality products and exceptional customer services. However, this recent experience with my Sony store online order totally ruined it and changed it completely.

As I writing this complaint, I have not received my exchange product, nor have I received my refund. After more than a month and a week, my issue has not been resolved. This is unacceptable service from likes like Sony.Desired Settlement: As I check on Sony store online [redacted], they have this headset in stock. I'm asking for a replacement shipped to me immediately.

My issue has been reported and communicated to Sony or its affiliates since February **, 2014, the same day I received the defective item. Throughout this period, I have contacted Sony via phone or email many times; after I filed a complaint with Revdex.com and I was asked to contact its customer relation department with reference #[redacted] at ###-###-####, which I did on April [redacted] and April [redacted]. However, on the [redacted], I was on the phone with its male rep more than 30 minutes, which I was put on hold for more than 20 minutes, and then I was advised they would contact me again before 6PM of the day because he needed to do some research. I missed the return call on the [redacted], but I called ###-###-#### again the next morning. This time, the female rep asked to verify my order number, order date, and other information. I was like really? I gave you the reference # and my name and that should be sufficient for verification and then you could tell me my resolution. I demanded my resolution for this matter, and she said they are sending me a check for the refund after I confirmed my mailing address. There, I spent another 20 minutes or son on the phone with them.

Repeatedly I had to go through this kind of hassle with them. What they could have really done is, simply credit back the same credit card I used to pay for order. Now, I would have to wait for another week or so for the money they took from me.

Review: I purchased a Sony TV that came with a free year of Netflix. It was a promotion that could be redeemed through the TV itself by connecting to the internet. I had been trying to redeem the promotional offer and had been unsuccessful. I had contacted Sony customer service through online support several times, and was given varying instructions on how to redeem it, none of which worked. Finally, while online with customer service the day before the expiration date of the offer, I was told that I was given incorrect information, and that Sony had removed the application for direct redemption quite a while before the end of the promotion, and I had to call in to receive the offer. I was given a number, which I called, and they were already closed. I spoke again to online support and expressed my concern that when customer support reopened, it would be a day past the deadline. The online support person told me not to worry, to call them and explain and they would help me. I asked online support if they could email me a copy of the online transcript, and he told me their system couldn't do that (which I found odd, as most do), but that I could copy and paste the chat to save it.

I called the next day and explained the situation. I was told again that I was given the wrong information, that Sony had removed the direct redemption app from the TV well before the expiration date. This person told me that if I faxed in all of my information, proof pf purchase, TV serial number, etc., they would take care of it for me and I would hear back in a couple days. I followed all of these instructions, faxed all necessary paperwork, and waited to hear back. When I hadn't heard back in a couple of days, I called to follow up. The person I spoke to said they had received all my paperwork, but that they were sorry, it was past the deadline and they couldn't fill the promotion. I went over the entire story again, and let her know that all of the people I had spoken to in the last few days since the deadline had told me it would be taken care of. She said that since the first call was the day after the deadline, they couldn't help me. I let her know about all of the online chats that took place in the week before the deadline, and she asked if I had record of any of them. I told her I had the last one, and she asked me to email it, so I did.

She just called me back, and told me they received my email, but because their system can't verify the dates of the chat, even though it has the online service rep's code and information, their system doesn't record that, so they still can't help me. And that even if they could verify the date, since the deadline is past, there is nothing they can do about it now. She said the only thing she could offer me was a couple months added to my warranty, which I find completely unacceptable, and I also purchased an extended warranty with the TV, so it wouldn't do me any good. And I find it hard to believe that a company such as Sony cannot provide this.

I feel that because I was given the incorrect information so many times, and was told instructions on how to redeem this promotion that they knew were not going to work, and the fact that they removed the way to redeem before the deadline, that this is a "bait and switch" type tactic. They also removed the direct redemption app well before the deadline, making it harder for consumers to redeem the promotion.Desired Settlement: I feel that it is Sony's responsibility to fulfill the promotion that was offered, as I first contacted them before the deadline, and was given incorrect information, so it was not my fault that I hadn't called in sooner, as I was following their instructions and was not provided with the number until it was too late. They also removed the direct redemption app well before the deadline, making it harder for consumers to redeem the promotion. I want my free year of Netflix, that is the only acceptable option to me.

We spoke with the customer on May ** and May **, 2014 and explained to her that Sony is unable to send her the codes needed since the Netflix promotion has already expired last December **, 2013. Customer communicated with chat support and the customer has been advised by the chat support representative to contact Sony Customer Service via phone support to request for the promotion codes. Sony records show that the customer's first contact with Sony to request for the code was on May **, 2014. Since the redemption period has ended, we explained to her that there is noway in our system to send the coupon code.

Review: I pre-ordered the digital copy of MLB 14 the Show from Sony’s Playstation Store prior to the release date. With the promise that I would be able to begin downloading the game at Midnight Eastern time if I preordered, I figured there would not be a problem. However, the next afternoon came and the game was still unavailable to download.

I used the chat service that Sony provides to request a refund. That in itself was an ordeal as it takes a long time to even get connected and then the service randomly disconnects and reconnects. A terrible system, but the phone wait time is always listed at over 30 minutes and there is no way I have that amount of time in order to request a refund.

My first chat with an associate gave me the case number [redacted]. I was told I would have a refund. I confirmed my details. I was told the refund would be ready immediately. I received no refund. The second day, I contacted Sony and was told that it would take five to seven days. Today, in my email, I received an odd looking email from Sony saying that they needed to “confirm” more details and that I needed to call them. All of that seems incredibly suspicious and I am not going to do that. I tried to log onto the chat service today, waited fifteen minutes to be connected to an agent only to be disconnected.

This is a simple $60 refund that I am requesting from Sony. I purchased a physical copy of the game (which is made by Sony) so they already have that money from me. But, I should not have to jump through all of these hoops and spend this much time online just to get a refund for a game in which Sony failed to deliver upon their promise. I want a refund to my card immediately.Desired Settlement: I want the amount of my original purchase refunded to my Mastercard immediately. I do not want store credit or any sort of thing like that. At this point I never want to purchase a download from Sony again.

I have given Sony money and Sony has given me nothing. I want the entirety of my $60 refunded immediately. I don't have dedicated time to sit on the phone and wait for a Customer Service Representative, particularly when this is a mess-up on Sony's part and certainly not mine.

Review: I ordered 2 TV's from Sony on May [redacted]. On May 2[redacted] I received notification that 2 TV's where being shipped. A few days later I received notification from [redacted] that they received 2 packages and that the delivery date was on May [redacted]. On May [redacted] I called [redacted] because I had not received anything. [redacted] continued to tell me that they never received but 1 TV. Seems strange considering their shipping papers specified 2 packages. [redacted] said they can not deliver incomplete orders unless advised by Sony. So...I called Sony and asked them to give [redacted] the authorization to at least send one TV. I finally received that 1 TV one week after the delivery date. Still no one could tell me where the second TV was. I called Sony every day asking for information and was just given the run around and to wait 24 - 48 hrs. Every day I called they told me the same thing. At one point a customer service rep from Sony told me a replacement was sent out but he did not know the status because the warehouse in Chicago did not email him back. When I asked for to call the warehouse and ask, he preceded to tell me that the warehouse does not have phones...Seriously!!! Today June [redacted], I still do not have the second TV that I purchased. I called Sony again, this time finally talked to a "[redacted]" she told me that they do not send replacement TV's and that an investigation is required to find out what happen. While on the phone with her, I received an email saying that a credit was applied for a return back to my credit card. I do not want a refund or return, I simply want the TV that I purchased as promised by Sony.Desired Settlement: A replacement TV should be sent out ASAP expedited and delivered on next day delivery. After my order is complete and delivered then conduct what ever investigations you need to conduct. I, the customer should not have to suffer of a mistake by Sony.

Review: Letter I wrote to sony warranty:

I have been a lifelong Sony customer and have been very pleased with their products. I have purchased computers from Sony – cameras, walkman’s, alarm clocks, stereos, headphones, and televisions. You name it I purchased it.

So in December of 2011 when I decided to upgrade my tv I decided to buy the Sony 55-Nx810 led 3d television and also purchased a sony playstation 3 , I didn’t hesitate, And Sony never did wrong by me Up to this point, I would recommend to all of my family, friends and readers.

Well, over the last few months, the Sony LED TV has run into some issues. Whenever I turn it on, the bottom left corner of the screen produces a black square cloud image and also above the sony logo is mis-colored black images. The problem never goes away and since I paid just under $3,000 for this tv, this type of behavior is unacceptable. A few pictures are attached

I understand that the Sony warranty is 1 year; however, when someone pays close to $3,000 for a piece a television, one would expect it would last for more than a couple of years. This one didn’t even last 2-3years.

So I called Sony Customer Relations yesterday. They told me that they could possibly help me, even though I was out of warranty and that they needed me to pay a Sony Technician to come out to my house. I feel uncomfortable paying more $$ out of pocket on an issue Sony may not fix.

Acting as diligently as possible, I contacted the local Sony Technician right after that call. The technician knew what the issue was right from the start. Said wouldn't be worth fixing but needed replacing.

This time, I spoke to Another rep from sony and After reviewing my file she said the television was out of warranty and that there was nothing she could do. She said that televisions are subject to wear and tear. WEAR AND TEAR? I don’t take it mountain biking with me. It just sits in my living room.

I asked her if there was any supervisor I could speak to. She said no not for a week as they were closed !! I then asked her where she was, she told me that the Customer Relations Department is in Florida. I again asked her where she was, she said she was in the Philippines so which is it ?

Peculiar, there is no supervisor or any one else to speak to other than a customer service rep in the Philippines.

Money is not the issue, but as an attorney by trade (as well as an internet blogger and international magazine article contributor) I stand up for people that have been wronged. In this situation, I feel that I have been wronged. If I had that tv on for every minute of the 17 months it worked, I still would not have gotten the benefit of the bargain. Sony, I expected more from you and your product – much, much more.

Over my life, I estimate I have spent about $50,000+ on Sony equipment. No more. I’m going to take my business elsewhere if I cannot get a satisfactory resolution to this matter.

Anyway after doing my own research and help from another attorney I have discovered the Maine Implied warranty law in my state of Maine where I purchased the sony, has a 4 year defective electronics law called MAINE IMPLIED WARRANTY LAW covering consumers from this exact situation of not honoring defective electronics. I would like sony to follow the law and replace my defective sony tv. If I don't hear back from sony with a soliton that follows the Maine implied warranty law I will have to take further legal action which I would rathe not do but it is my right as a state of Maine consumer. I hope to hear back with a appropriate solution. Thanks [redacted].

Sent from my iPhone 10Desired Settlement: I would like either a warranty replacement or repair under Maine implied warranty law.

Review: I want to express my grievance against Sony. On or around December ** 2012, I purchased a Sony AV Receiver model STRDH520. I am an avid music lover and was a fan of Sony products. So, this AV Receiver meant a lot to me. After about four and 1/2 months of [redacted]ship (April 2013), the receiver would not power on. This was very disappointing for me since my birthday was approaching. I called Sony and reported the problem, and they did make me happy by saying they would repair it. I received my receiver just in time for my birthday party.

Unfortunately, the resolution was short lived; because in the month of September 2013 I had the same problem. I shipped the receiver back to Sony again. I love my receiver so, I was not yet upset. Sony repaired the receiver again. I was back listening to my favorites tunes. However, in December 2013, I encountered the same problem of the receiver not powering on. This is when I began to become dissatisfied with this product. This time Sony replaced my unit with a refurbished product of the same brand/type as the product I purchased. I was able to enjoy this product for about three months before it too went out in March 2014. I shipped it back to Sony again. This time Sony was requesting a copy of the receipt for the product. I informed them that I had moved twice and I have misplaced the receipt, and I sent in a copy of the receipt the first time I shipped the product back to Sony. I also informed them of how much trouble I have had with this particular product. As a result, they sent me ANOTHER refurbished unit and assured me that I wouldn’t have any more problems, or be questioned about a receipt. Sony now refuses to extend the warranty on my product. Every time I call and speak to a representative they always tell me that someone will call me back. Of course, no one ever calls back.

As sure as the sky is blue, the entire situation happened again. I shipped the receiver back to Sony on August **, 2014, and Sony received it on August **, 2014. Once again, I was asked to submit a copy of the receipt, and we went through the same saga again. Afterwards, I was told that a representative would call me, and a representative called me, however, the representative treated me as if I was not the [redacted] of the product. Again, I did not get anywhere. I called Sony every single day in the month of September. They promised me a new receiver by September **, 2014. They still have my receiver and when I call they keep telling me that they do not have a tracking number to give me for my receiver being shipped. I felt as though they either did not know the location of my receiver; or they were hoping that I would just give up.

I told them that I would be contacting the Revdex.com. I received my receiver a couple of days after that phone call with [redacted]; which was September **, 2014. Of course, the receiver was refurbished, and the remote does not work properly. So, I am still left dissatisfied with my receiver.Desired Settlement: After all the trouble that this product has given me, I feel that I should have been given new model receiver with a new extended warranty. A few extras would be nice too! Sony has proven to me that my brand receiver is NOT a quality product. I do not appreciate all the drama I had to go through just to listen to my music. I thought Sony was the best producer of electronic products. After all of this trouble, this is one time I will DEFINITELY ADMIT I WAS WRONG, and I HATE to be wrong.

Dear Dispute Resolution Services,

Thank you for contacting Sony Electronics Inc., regarding the complaint your office received from [redacted] about the Sony Home Receiver model STRDH520.

Sony contacted the customer already, left a voicemail. Sony would like to offer him a brand new replacement with a 90 days warranty. We could not give him 4 years extended warranty. Please understand that a limited warranty accompanied the product at original purchase, that warrants against defects in material or workmanship for a designated time period. This model has 2 years warranty (730 days) from the date you purchased the product.

This will be Sony’s final, offer if the customer is interested he may reach our agents at:

Review: Last year I bought a new Sony XBR-55X900C HDTV from B&H Photo. I have had the set only about 9 Months. The set does not work right due to a design problem by Sony. When I noticed the issue I called B&H, but it was now beyond their 30 day exchange policy, and being that the set was still under the 1-year warranty, that I needed to contact Sony.

I contacted Sony in the early fall of 2015, and explained that I had a 'light bleed' problem in the showing in the corners of the screen, and all around the edges affecting the picture. Sony told me the set was working normal according to there engineers. The problem then got worse! I called B&H again, but they refused to do anything. So I called Sony service, and go more run around with them not acknowledging the problem. Finally I sent them photo of the screen, after I heard that hundreds, if not thousands of customers were all complaining and having the same issues. This is NOT an exaggeration!

In fact, [redacted] stopped selling the sets until Sony fixed the issue related to the very thin screen thickness - Sony did not. Other retail outlets stopped selling the sets too, or have deeply discounted them at a close out of nearly 60% off the original price back in August 2015 when the sets were first delivered.

Sony asked me to pay out of my pocket to have Best Buy send a technician out to evaluate the set. The tech said that this is has been a plagued and very problematic set for them and that even for him to fix the flat screen, that sadly Sony is no longer making the flat screen part available. Thus you cannot fix it!

Warehouses like [redacted] and Sony's are full of these sets that no one wants due to the problem with the light bleed screen issues. I asked Sony to refund my money - The refused and still will not acknowledge that these TVs are a design failure. Sony offered to give me another exact model 900C series TV and I refused. I told them I did not want to exchange for just another TV that has the same issue and no parts availability even under warranty. Again they refused, and closed my case # [redacted].

I have copied nearly 100 pages worth of consumer complaints on the Sony 900C series 4K HBTV sets and have those as evidence if needed. Many customers have said they were taking issue with the Revdex.com, and various State AG's offices as a result of this major Sony rip-off. I too plan to file suit as I have gone nowhere calling Sony and their Executive offices in NY.Desired Settlement: Albeit I paid B&H Photo in New York $2,498.00 for the set, I feel it's out of their hands, and not their fault for Sony's bad design. Give the TV is still under warranty, I feel this is Sony's problem and that they should make good on a full refund given that I have lost faith in both their products, lousy service and warranty support.

I also want to be reimbursed for the $99.99 I had to pay [redacted]s Geek Squad to have the set evaluated for Sony.

Review: I purchased a pair of Sony EX10 headphones at an airport in Denver, CO on 11/*/13 for $24.99 plus tax. The product was defective out of the box; one earphone was inoperable. I visited a Sony store near my home in Illinois and was given a phone number to call for customer service. I called the number and spoke to two individuals who refused to refund my money for these headphones. They informed me that Sony's warranty provided me replacement product, but I was not entitled to a refund--I would have to go to the merchant in Colorado for a refund. I tried to explain that this was not possible, as I live in Illinois. I also tried to explain that I was not interested in a replacement, as I was dissatisfied with Sony's quality, and that I had already purchased another pair of headphones from a different manufacturer. Neither customer service representative would address these concerns, and instead kept insisting that I go back to the initial point of sale (1,000 miles away) for a refund. No matter how many times I explained that this wasn't possible, neither representative would respond to my concerns. I was very disappointed that Sony's customer service team was not at all sympathetic to my situation, as I did nothing wrong. Sony manufactured a defective pair of headphones, a situation for which they are entirely responsible. Asking for my money back is therefore not an excessive request. As Sony's product did not meet reasonable standards for acceptable operation, I am entitled to a full refund of the purchase price.Desired Settlement: I am requesting that Sony apologize for the treatment I received from customer service and issue me a full refund for the defective product in the amount of 26.92 USD via check. I am more than happy to return the defective product if sent a prepaid shipping label.

Review: I bought a brand new sony vaio Aluminum SVT15112CXS Ultrabook (slim laptop for greater portability) for $600 from the Sony Outlet Store in [redacted] on [redacted] last year (11/**/13). The Laptop has a 2 year manufacturer's warranty on it as well. I was abroad for business and took the laptop - which did not startup at all. I was completely at a loss to deal with this since Sony Vaio is supposed to be a premium super functional machine. I had use paper and pen to do my business which was a horrible experience. . When I sent it to Sony, they told me the laptop has corrosion damage to the motherboard and that's not covered by the warranty and I'd have to pay $1200 to fix it! I explained that the machine was never dropped or had any liquid spill on it. The agent confirmed that and stated that 'corrosion damage happens over time'. Which means that the damage existed when I bought the PC from Sony.

Sony is not ethical in posting items on their website and having therir agents making sales and claiming the items are in stock.

When we address the issue with them they just say their website is not up to date and they have a waiting list as the items were oversold. Yes we purchased our television from Sony had they told the truth we would have shopped elsewhere. The fact Sony got a sale does not excuse their mode of operation and lack of sincerity.

Review: On 9/*/14 I bought Sony Xperia Z Ultra smartphone for $399.99 at Sony Store located in [redacted] In a few days I noticed the same phone being sold at B&H ([redacted]) for $349.95. Sony Price Assurance policy states: "If you’ve already purchased a product from Sony Store and find a lower price for that exact same product at any Sony venue or Sony authorized reseller within 30 days, contact the Sony Store location where you purchased the product or call us toll free at ###-###-#### and we will happily refund you the difference."

So on 9/**/14 I came to the same Sony store, asked for a refund, but was told that the policy only applies to Sony store prices. I pointed out that according to Sony website it applies to any authorized seller, and [redacted] is listed as an authorized seller on the same website. Then I was told that it's not 30 days, but only 14 days. I presented a printout from Sony website stating 30 days, a [redacted] in the store showed me Return Policy, which is 14 days for phones. On my question why they refer to the return policy when I'm not returning anything, they suggested I call Sony customer support. I did, and was told that Sony Stores policy may differ from what is written on Sony website. I asked "Doesn't it make the website statement incorrect?" and they hung up on me.Desired Settlement: Sony should clearly state that what is written on their website doesn't apply to physical Sony Stores or make all stores honor the stated policy.
