      As the device does send out multiple continuous alerts advising not to remove the screen protector for these reasons. Therefore, it is not covered. The warranty is void. We consider this matter resolved.

      Complaint: 21807665

      I am rejecting this response because:

      Motorola was well aware that the phone had not been delivered to me and should have immediately sent a new one or refunded my payment without all this extra process. Motorola's stated intent to hold my payment indefinitely was an unacceptable and fraudulent attempt to increase the price of the phone by milking the payment for unearned interest. Calling Motorola support was an exercise in frustration and futility. Reading the other complaints discussing weeks long ordeals, I feel fortunate that I immediately engaged the Better Business Bureau and my credit card complaint process. Otherwise, I too would still be waiting in vain for Motorola to correct their misconduct. (My complaint isn't that *** screwed up, but that Motorola increased the damage caused by smugly failing to correct the situation).

      They have assisted me resolve my issue but their website and their procedures are still misleading and I feel that it is still a wrongful practice on their end to make it difficult to return a product. They have also not provided a real reason to the cancelation of my order for a phone, even thought they claim is because I ordered it from an IP outside the **, they didn't advertise any warnings to this on their website as i completed my purchases or before to let me know that it would not be possible to complete that purchase.

      I purchased a Moto Razr+ in July 2023. I paid ********. Knowing it was a foldable screen phone and costing $1k I decided to pay the $200 for ********** The device worked smoothly for almost a year. On May 2024 I noticed the screen protector had developed small scratches on the hinge area. I contacted support who directed me to a free screen protector replacement at a local Ubreakifix. On the day I was scheduled to get the screen protector replaced, It developed ghost touch issues. After a examining the phone closely I noticed a small black blotch on the right side of the screen on the hinge. After about an hour a white/green column of pixels going from the top of the device to the blotch developed. Then after about 2-3 hours I opened the screen and the whole hinge had developed a black blob going from edge to edge and a perfectly straight crack developed right on the hinge. I never dropped the phone and always took great care of it. I contacted support for a replacement/repair and was told I have to pay $99 since screen damage 'voids the warranty'. So now I am expected to pay an additional $99 to repair a damage that developed all on its own. I would like to get a repair/replacement and the $99 fee waived since this issue is clearly faulty hardware. I attached photos. The red arrow points at the line of dead pixels, and the blue arrows point at the perfectly straight and centered crack that developed UNDER the screen protector.

      Purchased a Motor 5G 2023 September 6th to 2023. In the amount of $269 plus I also purchased the $70 "BEST"insurance policy that they offered which coverage anything and everything except for theft and if I were to lose it. Keep in mind that this is a Motorola phone. I purchased this directly from their website. Directly from Motorola themselves. I got hung up on four times but I absolutely rude as h*** people, I'm explaining that the battery is absolutely messed up getting very hot, it's not holding a charge, and whole purpose of me purchasing $70 two year insurance plan is for not only incidentals but manufacturers defects. The man kept telling me I have to talk to the manufacturer. I had to keep repeating myself that I am talking to you on a Motorola phone and I'm calling a Motorola the manufacturer! And it seems when they don't have an answer for you or you proved them either incompetent or completely wrong to the point where they hang up. I want my $70 back and the $269 I spent on this phone and purchased it directly from the manufacturer thinking that they can get out of a contract that I have right in front of me claiming the best policy purchased and if the battery blows up from lithium ion cells on my face, it's not covered under the warranty? Lol. I can laugh at the absolute absurdity of people and everything becoming like this. Nobody is responsible for a **** thing anymore. This is a huge company that has scumbag seeds that are happy to collect your money but my phone's not covered because it's a manufacturer's defect? So, I'm being put out because I didn't break the phone, it has its own super dangerous malfunction issues? Just for wasting my time and ******* me off as well as lying and stealing from me, they can cough up $500 and I'll walk away. Otherwise it's going to be lawyers and having them read a simple contract and any idiot can tell they're in breach. I'm tired of going back companies that nothing is their responsibility throw it right back...

      Our warranty states that we will repair, replace or refund at our discretion. At this time the only option for the device is repair. The customer has been advised of this option multiple times and has refused. The customer was being argumentative and abusive to the agents, therefore he was disconnected. The customer can continue setting up a repair and a prepaid label can be mailed to their address if needed. We consider this matter resolved until the customer can contact us professionally to set up a repair.

      Complaint: 21776860

      I am rejecting this response because: again, my phone is a medical assistance device and by federal law there has to be other options than giving up such a device for an extended period of time for repair. Unless you are admitting your company deprives deaf people who use talk to voice on their phone as a method of communication when their phone has issues. Are you admitting you regularly violate ADA **** In addition, your own management informed me repair was the only option simply because you didn't have exact extra stock in place. If you did then you could just swap it, and encouraged me to call back every 72 hours to check your stock. I'm not unreasonable, i am more than happy to wait until stock comes in, even if that's a month plus, all i ask is that you company check your own stock to hello resolve this, instead of having the customer call in every 72 hours for weeks and waiting on hold for 30 minutes.


      Sincerely,

      living. The representative i spoke with said there was nothing more to be done so i asked to speak to a supervisor. She transferred me ti an individual in their "control tower"which she referred to as upper management. That individual, who i neglected to get the name of, was incredibly polite and apologetic but said there was nothing else they could do except have me call back every few days and ask if they had stock to send me. She said it could take a few weeks. She stated there was no way for them to do the work and contact me once stock received. I hung up and called again to try and get someone else. Again got control tower *** someone named *****. I pointed out this possibly violates **** and she statex "it doesn't matter what you use your phone for, we follow our policy". ***** was rude and clearly did care. If this is not resolved in a timely manner i will be filling a report for a violation of ***

      As the customer has been advised, the only warranty option is for repair. As stated in the warranty; "If you make a valid claim under this Limited Warranty, Motorola or its ********** Service Provider will, at their discretion, either (1) repair the Product using new, used, or reconditioned replacement parts; or (2) replace the Product with a new or like new reconditioned Product that is the same or similar to the warranted Product; or (3) refund the purchase price." At this time, the only available option is for repair. The customer can proceed with a repair or go to his carrier for options. 

      Business Response

      Date: 06/05/2024

      As stated in the terms and conditions, "The Motorola Experiences do not guarantee your safety. We make no claim that the Motorola Experiences will work effectively in case of an emergency. The Motorola Experiences are not a replacement for any current emergency, automated emergency or other emergency system, hardware or software." As the warranty options available were provided, that is what we can offer. As the stock was not available for a replacement a repair is the option available.

      I am rejecting this response because: The only listings on amazon canada require importing from the ***, on the product page it says there will be duties/fees costs on each listing and some do not ship to my part of ******. Your customers should not have to go through this much hassle just to get one of your chargers that you have decided not only to not include in the box with the phone but have made onerous and costly to get.

      I have begun the process of refunding/returning my phone as my every dealing with this company has been negative and I have no confidence in the product nor the support now.

      Sincerely,

      ********************* my country or directly from you and not be told to go through 3rd party dubious methods.I was also told despite it being only an hour after purchase they were unable to cancel my order.Everything about this transaction/company seems very odd and I need a solution to this, either refund my order, or provide me with an easy "in-country" way of purchasing the needed component.

      At this time, Motorola.ca does not have accessories available. We have tried reaching out to the customer to advise he can purchase some chargers on Amazon.ca, but have been unable to get through. The customer can go onto Amazon.ca to purchase a charger. If the customer needs further information, he should reach out to the Canadian support team that has been reaching out.

      I ordered a phone from the website and was charged for it on 4/17/24. I returned the phone and was sent a notice that it was received on 4/26. I waited the 7-10 business days for a refund and did not receive it. I have contacted Motorola returns department 3 times now and am being told that the warehouse is not responding about my refund. I have also been told there was an error in processing it and it is on the way. It has now been 3+ weeks and I still don't have my money back for a product I no longer have but yet was received long ago by the company. I want my money back asap and I am no longer spending hours of my time chasing and hunting after the matter further.
