GFM and Meijer Bad Customer Service

My in-laws purchased a GFM television undera year ago and it started having problems a month ago.

The speakers started popping when the tv is first turned on and lasts for about 30 minutes.

When I contact GFM they tell me that Meijers is responsible...When I call Meijer..Meijer tells me they have a 6 months warranty and after the 6 months the manufacturer should honor their 1 year warranty...

When I contact GFM they tell me that Meijer is strictly responsbile for the warranty..

I just think it is rediculous that GFM/Meijers sell these tvs that don't even last a year and when you try to get support/service you are tossed back and fourth.

The tv belongs to my elderly in-laws who spent plenty of money on this tv.

Just found one of these tv's in my dumpster took it out, same problem you guys are saying,speaker popping, took it apart, unplugged the speaker that is popping and it works fine, plugged the other speaker into that port and it does not pop, so the problem is just in the speaker. Right now it's working fine but only with one speaker, they are just a basic 8ohm speaker, going to see what i can come up with that will fit it's spot.. Wouldn't even be worth the call to customer service to me, unless you were going to order a speaker, but with what you guys are saying i'll just find something that fits

I have 4 AStar tv's I bought from the Meijer outlet and found out later that AStar is out of business and have been for a long time. Contacted Meijer about the TV not lasting 6 months and they wouldn't even get back with me. Said they were sending it to the area that could help me, but no response. The 2nd of these tv's went out at just under 6 months. I have two left working. One is hardly ever used. I expect the other to go out at anytime. I will not purchase another tv through Meijers since they obviously won't stand behind them at all.
