      Bought moto tag trackers but kept unpairing by themselves that required having to re-pair in the app that ruined the point for trackers. Returned the trackers back on 10/10/2024 and have been waiting on a refund ever since. Been contacting support through multiple channels that all have been saying the same thing for months that they would reach out for but nothing came out of it....

      I am rejecting this response because: item returned have been in the warehouse since 10/10/2024. Still do not see a refund being processed. I can't accept it as solved until I see it actually being processed in my bank account after dealing with customer service stalling me for months

      Complaint: 22859540

      I am rejecting this response because:  Made a original complaint that BBB nor Motorola could resolve. Returned Motorola trackers on 10/10/2024 and has been in their warehouse since. Customer support on phone and from their social media team just tell me to wait, it's February 2025. My previous BBB complaint said they submitted a refund but nothing has been processed on their side yet. Has been constantly delayed by customer service for any solutions or refunds.

      Sincerely,

      **** *******

      Business Response

      We have reached out to the customer to advise the refund needs to be processed through Electronic Funds Transfer. This is the option provided as the refund is past the time frame for a regular refund to be processed. The customer has been sent an email advising of the information needed to process the refund through the Electronic Funds Transfer system. The information requested is required in order to proceed with processing the refund for the customer.

      We are having coaching and training done where necessary to ensure correct warranty information is provided. You can also locate this on **************************. The customer contacted us a month after their standard year manufacturer's warranty expired. We set up a repair and waived the Out of Warranty fee as a one time exception. The customer received the repaired/replaced device. The warranty states a repair/replaced device will have a 90 day warranty OR the rest of the original warranty, whichever is longer. The customer is within the 90 day time frame and has set up another repair. The customer should continue with repair. We consider this matter resolved.

      A few months ago I was cell phone shopping online and I stumbled upon the Motorola razor 2024 plus pink and I was in awe. While reading the specs and other phone info I came across the "we will replace your premium pre-installed screen protector one time at no charge" That was the selling point. Fast forward a few months and I am now experiencing the pre installed screen protector issues. I went straight to T-Mobile after waiting for 2 hours they told me we can't help call Motorola. I call Motorola and they scheduled me an appt with their partner U break it whom they said would repair it for free no charge just go in and get the screen protector replaced. NOT THAT EASY !! At u break it the gentleman told me they can't help me because Motorola NEVER sends them the parts they need to service their customers and their phones. *** !!! Today I call Motorola and they tell me I have 2 options send in my phone and get it fix or they can send me a like new phone and then I send mine back and I can keep the like new device. I PAID FOR A BRAND NEW PHONE AND THEY WANT TO REPLACE MY SCREEN WITH A LIKE NEW DEVICE. *** !!! I WANT MY SCREEN FIX AND AN APOLOGY FOR THE DAY I WASTED RUNNING AROUND BECAUSE OF MOTOROLA.

      We are unable to provide information on part stock with **********. Each facility is in control of their ordering parts. The customer was offered the other two warranty options for repairing the screen through Motorola. The customer refused the options for repair/replacement. The warranty covers certified like new replacements. If the customer is wanting to keep their original device, the repair options is the best option for them. We consider this matter resolved until the customer chooses one of the warranty options available.

      I am rejecting this response because: I paid for a brand new phone in what world is it okay to offer some one a used phone to replace their new phone ? UbreakIFix said you are supposed to send them the parts and you NEVER DO. The. Representative from Motorola even said you never have them available. YOU CAN DO BETTER THAN THIS MOTOROLA YOU ARE A MULTI MILLION DOLLAR COMPANY.

      I am rejecting this response because: Phone has a History of only Lasting less than 6 Months before Failing. This is an Attempt at Stalling until the Warranty Expires. The Phone was Order 3/29/24. And has been sent back twice.

      No stalling was done. The customer contact our highest level of escalation and they set up a certified like new replacement as per the warranty options available. The repaired/replaced device will feature a 90 day warranty or the rest of your warranty, whichever is longer. If the customer is experiencing issues, troubleshooting with our technicians would be the next step. If the customer is experiencing issues with the replacement device, they can contact us to troubleshoot to ensure it is a hardware issue as some things can be due to apps, carrier etc. We consider this matter resolved.

      I had sent my phone in for repair on January 3rd 2025 because the vibration was not functioning after only 3 months of use. Motorola kept me updated throughout the process, but when receiving the phone back from repair on January 14th, it was in worse condition. The back leather cover had been cut into with a sharp object and the outside screen was popping off the phone. I called Motorola and opened a claim that I had received my phone damaged. They told me they have to contact their warehouse and it should be ***** hours. I have not received any update on how they will be continuing with my claim. I am very upset and just want my phone in the same condition I sent it. My open claim number is 250115-003611.

      My sister bought me a Motorola razor phone on ********* for my birthday from boost mobile on ******* road. The phone is still under warranty. I am a retired CDL driver by trade and now I am a ride share driver who eats and works from my phone. The screen on the phone for no apparent turned black and I immediately went to boost mobile who sent me to the insurance people who couldn't do anything because the phone is under warranty with Motorola who has given me the runaround about the defective product and not honoring that warranty. My mortgage, eating and my livelihood is at stake because of the procrastinating and unlawful practices of this company. This is costing me everything because of the process that takes days and weeks to complete in which time I can't eat nor make a living. This process needs to be expedited, I have a blind elderly sister to take care of and I need my phone and they are costing me money. Thank you.

      The customer was advised of the warranty option for repair, the customer refused. The customer was then offered the one-time exception replacement option and they refused that option also due to the security hold fees. These are the warranty options available for the customer's device. The customer would need to select one of the warranty options. We consider this matter resolved until the customer chooses to go with one of the options available.

      I am rejecting this response because: Good morning! The only option I was given was to send them my and they would repair or replace it. I purchased this phone in good faith at their store and don't have days or weeks to await this, I have a blind elderly sister who is sick at this time and I am a driver both instances require that I have a phone "Now" which is what I paid for. Their product was defective and and I believe with their knowledge this is not an isolated incident and whatever their solution is must be done expeditiously. They are defrauding the public and causing undue hardship, I will pursue this on all levels of litigation until it is completed. Thank you!

      I ordered a moto g 5 g phone 11/23/24 @ 10:48 and canceled order next morning.

      Regarding Order #*************-01 I purchased on 11/29/2024 a Motorola smartphone and extended warranty the phone was $349.99 and 2 yr extended warranty was $139.99 with a total after $35.00 discount, added taxes of $27.12 was $482.10. I then realized I purchased wrong phone so sent it back and they refunded me a total of $377.11, so I called them informing them that they did not refund the total amount which included the extended warranty difference of $104.99, they then told me that it would take 1-3 business days to process so I have made several different calls approximately every 3-5 days as I have never received my refund for a product I no longer have or require the extended warranty for and I keep getting the run around and I ask for a supervisor but never happens. Yesterday I called and I was told that within **************************************** know about the refund I have now been waiting over a month for.

      Bought a Motorola razor 2023 phone. And after 1 day of use. The phone has a white line and a dead black spot. Motorola ignores emails stops conversations when you mention this phone and this problem. I get no help from my carrier. The phone is defective. It's able to get sand behind the screen where it folds and the sand ruins the screen or dirt. They need to make this right for everyone and speak up . Because they are pushing this issue aside and ruining their little bit of customers that support **********************
