I've been burned thrice!

1) LG Rumor Cell Phone - I purchased a Rumor through my cellular provider (Sprint). The charging unit of the phone went bad on me not once, not twice but three times. I had to send the phone back TWICE and both replacement phones (refurbished when they should have been new) had the same exact problem within a week. I gave up on the last one and sold it as defective on ebay to at least recoup a few of my dollars back.

2) LG 42 inch HDTV - I spent $800 on it, got it home and it immediately had a lip sync problem. The images were fantastic. The sound was fantastic. But I could never correct the lip syncing issue. I went out of my way to try and correct the problem with no luck including LG customer support and a number of online forums. It was returned and exchanged for a Samsung. Luckily I took it back immediately and wasn't stuck with it. I did however have to waste a lot of my time.

3) LG Model LHT854 Home Theater System with DVD Player - I purchased this system for $265 on July 31, 20009. It had great sound and I liked the setup very much. About three weeks ago the screen would go black for one second every 10-15 minutes when watching DVD's on the system. I got online and noted in a number of forums that many customers were having the same problem with their system. None listed a way to correct the situation. I changed out HDMI cables and ports and the problem still continued which told me it was definitely the home theater system and not my TV. I filed a warranty claim on the LG website over a week ago and was never contacted by customer support. That resulting in a dead end, I logged onto LG chat support where I spoke to a gentleman who was courteous and professional. He advised me that the system was out of warrant so I would be required to pay $69 for labor and mail the ENTIRE system to LG. This frustrates me on two different levels: a) It is absolutely ABSURD that I should have to pay $69 labor for a $265 piece of equipment I purchased less than 5 months ago. b) It is also absurd that I would have to send in speakers which I have wired through my ceiling when they have absolutely nothing to do with the problem. The correct response by LG would have been to send me a receiver/dvd player and have me return the defective one.

I'm really sorry to hear that you are having a hard time with LG products, I really love LG products specially their phones but all phone companies got some minor flaws to bear with.
