I have always wanted a La-Z-Boy recliner and finally was able to get a lift recliner in 2021. It was perfect for me, as I am disabled and have trouble standing from a seated position. I was purchased used, and only 8 months old. It looked brand new and functioned well for about a month and then the hand control button for the lumbar support quit working. We called customer service and they sent out a gentleman who diagnosed the problem as a bad hand control unit. He replaced the unit. Because we were not the original owner and had not purchased from an authorized La-Z-Boy dealer, and the warranty is non transferrable, we were obligated to pay for the expenses of the repair.
10 months after the second hand control was replaced, it went out again with the same problem: the lumbar button quit working. The chair was inspected and there are no wiring connection issues. In addition, two other buttons on the hand control are not working properly, and the tactile feel of the buttons indicate a problem. We are told that this is also not covered by the parts replacement warranty.
We are obviously dissatisfied with the situation. The chair is less than two years old and it is obvious that the hand controls made in China are unable to function longer than 10 months. I am an engineering leader for a Fortune 100 manufacturing business, and quite understand how costs are mitigated by outsourcing to Chinese assemblers, but cost savings are not realized when the quality is so poor that it results in such problems directly affecting customers.
