Polaroid
Sale of substandard products

I purchased a Polaroid LCD tv model # flm-373b in march of '07. May 6th of '08 the tv would no longer 'start up' and is in need of repair. Polaroid only offers a 1 year warranty on this item, which is understandable that I am beyond this time frame for a warranty repair. A replacement part was offered by Polaroid for $400 (control box).

The problem lies with my issue NOT being an isolated incident. I have searched the internet for others having the same problem as myself and it turned up many, many complaints of the same issue. Some of the sets died at 30 days and others lasted up to 14 months all the same problem, the control box.

I work hard for the money I make, as do many and there is no reason for a company to have quality control issues like this and eagerly sell under designed products to consumers.

I have done some math and it would have been cheaper for me to have rented an lcd tv from Rent - a - Center for the time I used this now expensive boat anchor.
