LG Has THE WORST customer service I've ever experienced in my life!
2 Months after purchasing a $500 42" TV it randomly died one day. after several grueling calls they finally sent out a technician. The technician said she knew what the problem was, and would return with the part. A week later she returned, only to figure out it doesn't work. She ordered another part, and 2 weeks later returned with the part. During this time I was assured by the Executive Customer Service Rep that should there still be any issues at this point, we would be able to go ahead and schedule for a replacement since we had passed the 30 day mark. The technician returned with the part, which got the TV up and running again, but now the TV makes a constant buzzing noise all the time. I called the same rep again, and he looked up the Model and assured me that yes, the unit should be silent and they would go ahead and send out the technician. I requested that at this point we follow up with the alternative of replacement, because the technician seems to be insufficient. He assured me that they would send out the technician, and should it require replacement we can follow up with that avenue following her visit. She stopped by our house (this is for the 4th time now), for less than a minute, and said she didn't know where the noise was coming from, or wasn't sure if it was supposed to make that noise or not. We, again, followed up with LG to let them know this, and asked that the replacement request be submitted. They let us know they'd follow up with the tech, and proceed. We didn't hear back for 3 days, so proceeded to follow up again - and this time were told that because she said it she wasn't sure, and that it might be a standard noise, that they would not replace the unit, nor take any further action. The Executive Rep went back on what he said about how the unit was NOT supposed to make any noise after being turned on - and also refused to acknowledge that he did indeed tell us we would be eligible for a replacement since the repair process had already long passed the 30 day mark.
We let him know we were unhappy with this, and that living with it isn't an option, as we are worried about it being a sign of something else wrong, and having the unit fail after the warranty is up. He told us they would no longer help us! When I asked for his supervisor he refused to connect me, saying that he was the supervisor and there were no supervisors above him.
This is his information, should anyone need direct contact - although I wouldn't plan on him sticking to his word.

I am SO unhappy with the customer service, and am left with a faulty product. I was told to contact Sears again (although it's out of their warranty), and when I asked him why he was just pushing off their problem on someone else, he couldn't answer. He told me he would no longer assist us, and I let him know that I'm still unsatisfied and this is unacceptable, and he said he was done helping us.
This is unacceptable that I must live with their faulty product, and find it hard to believe that there is nothing further that can be done. I fully intend to follow up on this issue as much as possible, and highly suggest not to purchase ANY LG products. If you already own, you better hope nothing goes wrong with it!
