I bought a Motorola edge 2024 from spectrum I have been having nothing but problems with the phone reverting back to default settings everyday since I received the phone. I called spectrum and they told me I needed to get the phone warrantied from Motorola since the phone was a faulty ******** I called Motorola and basically got no where with these people they kept trouble shooting my phone instead of warranting the phone for all of the problems I have been having since day one so basically Motorola is telling me they won't warranty my cellphone that I paid big money for this isn't right I shouldn't have to go through this with this cellphone I only had the phone for 2 months it's still under warranty.Business Response

Repeated Device Failures, Denied Warranty, and Unresolved Replacement Motorola Razr+My wife and I both purchased Motorola Razr+ phones. Her first device broke shortly after purchase. Despite being brand new, Motorola denied warranty coverage, forcing us to pay out of pocket for a replacement device.The replacement phone then developed the same issue, and when we attempted to initiate a replacement through Motorola support, I never received the information to follow through with it. We were left without a functioning device and no resolution.Separately, my own (third) Razr+ phone has now also experienced the exact same problem, indicating a clear manufacturer defect in this model.We have spent significant time, energy, and money trying to resolve this, only to be met with poor customer service, ignored follow-ups, and repeated device *********** this point, we no longer want any Motorola Razr+ replacements. We are requesting:A full refund for both defective Razr+ phones.A replacement with a different, reliable Motorola model or refund of our original purchase amount so we can select an alternative device ******************************** has failed to honor its warranty, failed to follow through on promised replacements, and has provided no adequate resolution despite multiple attempts to contact support.We are asking Motorola to take immediate responsibility for these defective devices and issue appropriate refunds and replacements.Desired Resolution:Full refund for both defective Razr+ devices.Replacement with a different, proven reliable Motorola model (or refund in lieu).Written confirmation of resolution.Business Response

The customer contacted us in November of 2024 and stated they dripped the device and part of the hinge was damaged. The customer was unable to provide an IMEI number, which would be required to check the warranty and set up a repair/replacement. The customer then contacted us on 7/15 demanding a different device replacement. The **** would be required to check the warranty options available to them. A different device or refund are not available as the device is not within the Buyer's Remorse Period and purchased on **************************. We are only able to provide the valid warranty options. The customer will need to work with our agents to go over the warranty options for their device.Customer Answer

I am rejecting this response because: this is an inaccurate reflection of what occurred.
After the first phone was broken, which I had assumed was dropped because of the damage, and we bought a replacement phone the same exact thing happened to it. Which means that it didn't get damaged due to being dropped. Because now that it has happened to a THIRD phone, and reading tons of posts and comments by other Motorola Rzr+ phones, I have come to realize this is not user error. This is a common occurance with these phones.I had reached out and requested help for the replacement phone. I tried calling them many times and would get through the process only for the call to drop and have to try again. When I finally got through to someone, they told me about the premium repair option but there was no follow up.
Now a THIRD separate device (purchased from their website) is having the same exact issues and every time I call the call drops. I would love to sort this out with Motorola but every time I call the call drops and no one calls me back.As per the comment related to the **** number, when I expressed to Motorola the phone is broken there is no way to get access to that number they were unable to give me a solution. The screens are not usable in a way that would allow me to have access to that information.
Sincerely,

The customer would need to get the **** numbers from their carrier for us to look at the warranty options available for their specific devices. Without this information we are not able to set up any repair/replacements. The customer should work with our agents on looking into the warranty options once they have IMEI numbers for the devices with problems. We consider this matter resolved until IMEI numbers are provided.Initial Complaint

I purchased a Motorola Razor phone 2/24/2025. It is a phone that folds in the middle. I opened the phone today (7/12/2025) and the hinge broke. I went by the store I purchased it from and they said I had to call Motorola because there is a 1 year manufacturers warranty. I called Motorola and was hung up on twice. I spoke with three people in total and no one would help me. I emailed a picture and was told by the representative that they would not fix it because I broke it and I did not. I told them more than once the hinge was tight from the start and no one wanted to listen to me they just kept saying it was my fault and they would not fix it. I paid almost $600 for that phone in February for it to last me not even 5 months. I have a disabled husband and an elderly mother that rely on me and I need to have a cellphone. I also do not have the money to go out and purchase a new one and I had no choice. The carrier Xfinity was no help either they would not do anything to help me because I did not get insurance and to me that was not fair because of the amount of time I had it. I want this looked into because I am told that this is a manufacturing defect and Motorola is not fixing it. I am very upset that I am now out all that money that I do not have because I have a disabled husband and we are on a fixed income.Business Response

The customer spoke with the Supervisor of the executive escalations team and was offered the warranty repair/replacement options. The customer refused as she purchased a ******* device. The customer was requesting a reimbursement and was advised that, that would not be available as the device does not meet the Buyer's Remorse parameters. We consider this matter resolved unless the customer chooses to move forward with one of the options available.Customer Answer

they have uploaded a new program into my system without my permission that had completely destroyed my cell phone that is a Motorola g. they were at bolt of sending this to my phone when they knew that there were problems and they did not do any quality control to make sure there was no problems. but they still did it anyway and because they have to replace my phone they're trying to charge me $20 for their mistake. I shouldn't have to pay for anything while this is in warranty and everything is completely covered there is no extra charges for 20 bucks that they're trying to get out of me. this is an extra fee that is not in the contract. and now I'm stuck without a phone that hardly even works at all most of the time I can't get into anything I just get a blank black screen. this is because what they downloaded into my phone without my permission once again.Business Response

I got two razr flip phones. I paid upfront for them both. Over $1500. One of them started changing colors on the big inside screen. Eventually went black and no longer functioning. The little front screen i can use. This is less than 3 months after ****** them. So i called Motorola warranty Nd they cant help me. They are asking that i pay $29.99 plus put up a $300 deposit or go without a phone for 3 weeks. Iv always had ******* and any issues they would send a replacement and return envelope id activate it and zend .my old one off. So im w ***** using this little front screen. This is a know issue with these phones and i feel like this is a way for them to deflect warranty. As im sure some people's cant come up with $350 to lose or go without a phoe. Its easier to go vet a new one. Shame on Motorola you need to do better. Im not stopping here im collecting signaturesBusiness Response

The security hold is required as we ship a certified like new replacement device to you first. Once you receive your replacement device, you send the defective device back and the security hold is lifted. This is not a charge and reverses once received into our system. This only becomes a charge if the device is returned damaged and does not have ******** coverage or the device is not returned to us. The warranty options provided are standard repair/replacement options for cell phones. The customer would need to contact us to set up a warranty repair/replacement.

I bought a phone from ************************* (Motorola Mobility LLC) for $****** ************* 2025) and they bought one from mefor $115.00 ******* Pixel 5 5G). They both have phones. So, the total comes to ****** + $115.00 = $446.49. So far, they have refunded me in 3 instalments Of $15.00 + $100.00 +$204.41= $319.41. So, they owe me $446.49 - $319.41 = $127.08.I have called several times and every time I was told that they Understand the situation & will Escalate the issue so I can get the refund within a few days. But nothing resulted from the phone call and neither did anything from the several back-and-forth email communications. I hope this Clear the issue.

Bought a motorola RAZR ULTRA 2025 received the device damaged in a sealed box. Contacted motorola for a replacement under the warranty / the fact it came out of the box pre damaged. Sent ohotos of the damage and everything. They set up a advance exchange claim for me. This was all done June 26th. Its now July 7th and iv received no replacement or communication about the replacement. Iv contacted through live chat and im told due to "undeclared" damaged i need to call them. I have no phone to call them they have my phone. Also i sent ohotos of the phone before mailing it in. So everything was 100% disclosed before mailing it to them. I am owed a replacement device for the damaged one I received. I cannot ne forced to pay for a replacement device on a device I didnt even activate or use. It was received defective and damaged. Photo i sent to agent shows the way the phone was and she agreed to file the warranty replacement. Therefore nothing was "undeclared" as yall claim. I want my replacement phone or my $1300 back for the cost of the phoneBusiness Response

I ordered on Motorola website a ************ 2025 on 6/30/25. I never received confirmation from the company that my order was received but I did receive email from ****** regarding financing schedule & interest. 7/1/25 I called Motorola inquiring about order status and expected delivery. I was told order had not been processed due to system upgrade with the warehouse that does the order process. I called back a few hours later demanding an email indicating my purchase and an order number. Finally received the email and when I clicked on the link to find order status, it said order not found. So I called yet again and was told the order had not been found because it was not processed due to Warehouse system upgrade and the system down however the email clearly indicated before the link is clicked, that the order was processed. I was told to call back in a few hours. Called again a few hours later and was told same thing. Order has not been processed due to Warehouse system down. Called again on 7/2 inquiring same and was told the exact same baloney. I was told to call after noon today in the system should be up and running. I called again afternoon and told same thing. No order processed and the representatives has no capability to communicate with Warehouse. This is motorola! A huge company! At this point I told them to cancel my order because I need a phone. Mine is just about dead & there's no other phone in my possession. They told me "there is no button to push to cancel the order! Has to go through the warehouse", the very warehouse with no apparent ability to communicate with! I was told it won't be canceled until the warehouse actually receives my order although the email clearly stated, prior to clicking the link, that the order went through. I called a few hours later requesting cancel again and was told they can't cancel it.This is ridiculous. It's a lot of money! I don't want to receive it only to pay restocking fee as I will not deal with this company.Business Response

Complaint: 23550691
I am rejecting this response because:after the horrific communication and lack thereof and complete confusion on behalf of motorola, I personally spoke on two different occasions after my emails would not go through, giving solid instruction to cancel this order entirely. These communications took place prior to the device being shipped out. I also requested Motorola contact ******, the company which I financed the device through. Yesterday, *** was at my door with a package and I signed for it because I thought it was a device from a different company where I ordered my device after I canceled Motorola. After I signed and I took the package from the delivery driver, I saw the return stated Motorola so I gave it back to the *** driver and apologize and told him I was refusing delivery. He marked the box and put it in his system as return to Motorola. If there is any question to this, I have the video from my doorbell with audio. So Motorola did not cancel the order as they promised in two different phone conversations, and they have not contacted Affirm because I have already been charged. This needs to be rectified immediately. I am glad all of this happened prior to me actually purchasing the device because I could only imagine problems if there was ever a technical issue. When a consumer spends this type of money especially with a company as big as Motorola, this entire situation is unacceptable.
