      I purchased a peloton treadmill. it's less than 2 years old. I regularly update the software everytime I am prompted. however, after the last update and power down, it just wouldn't turn on the next day- no power. Did all the trouble shooting steps- no resolution. Called the technical line and worked thru the steps again with a specialist. Still no power. They sent out a repair man after paying $159. He diagnosed that the touch screen needs to be repaired for $650 and need a new arm rail for $875, for a total of $1525! A brand new peloton tread is $2995! I spoke with a technical support person today and got no where. Asked to speak to her supervisor, she said there is no supervisor there. How can this be??? And, she said that she cannot do anything to help the situation unless I speak to a supervisor. A company this large and there is no recourse for a consumer. This is very unfortunate for consumers and unfair

      I purchased a Peloton Tread Treadmil and it is still under warranty. We have had ongoing issues with the treadmill stating the safety key is not connected. It was always connected. Peloton send us a new key to try and it still doesnt recognize the safety key. Our product does not function, we cant use it and nobody from peloton will respond to me. Ive tried email, chat and phone. The wait times are way too long and I refuse to sit on hold or wait for 67 people waiting to chat with them. I just want a working product or a refund.

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

      I finally got a Peloton service technician to come out and work on my treadmill earlier this week.  They replaced some parts as the machine is still under warranty.  I tried using it today and it abruptly stopped while I was on it yet again (which is actually very dangerous) and it stated safety key is missing.  The safety key was not touched and has been an ongoing issue.  I sent Peloton a message today requesting a brand new treadmill or a full refund and have not received a response. I will not use this machine again or allow any of my family members as it is plain dangerous. I have almost been injured multiple times with it suddenly stopping while I am running.  Peloton is not quick to respond.  Its impossible to get someone on the phone because the hold times are excessive.  I would like this to be resolved because I can no longer use the machine and it was expensive.  Now I just have a big, expensive treadmill taking up space and will have to pay to dump it.

      I have been trying to get in contact with your support team for three days now. On Sunday, October 1, 2023, I waited an hour for a chat (and somehow kept getting pushed back in line). Only to be told that in order to purchase a replacement power cord I needed to call. So I did and waited another hour before I gave up.I called yesterday, October 2, and was in contact with someone only to be told I needed to be transferred. I waited on hold for another hour and 20 minutes until I again gave up. There is NO menu option for the software/hardware team. I called again today and I'm currently STILL on hold waiting for a representative. Its ridiculous that I have to wait that long just to order a power cord!!!!! Why cant I order a replacement online?!Its always a headache dealing with Peloton's customer service. I demand a supervisor contact me IMMEDIATELY so this can be sorted ASAP.

      I purched my Peloton Bike+ with the Ultimate Package for a total of $2,469.79. My order date was September 11th of 2023. The scheduled delivery date was September 19, 2023 with a delivery window of 02:00 PM - 06:00 PM. On the day of the delivery multiple scratches to my wall and my Peloton Bike were made. Delivery team also left multiple dirty hand prints on the wall. The afternoon of September 19th a call was made to Peloton to dispute the damage made to my property along with the Peloton Bike during delivery. ****** asked for pictures of the damages for their records, and the one I have uploaded were sent along with a video from the indoor entryway security camera where the damage began. An email was then sent with the with an link and Reference: #********. The email I received on September 29th from Peloton stated "It was a pleasure speaking with you today. Please fill-up this form at***************************************************************************************************for the Damage Claim Process." When trying to open the link it prompted me to login to my ****** Account. After logging in I get an error message stating "You need permission. This form can only be viewed by users in the owner's organization." A screenshot was take of the error message and I replied to Peloton with it along with a description of what's going on. The next day I received another email with the same exact link as if the previous email sent was just forwarded back to me. I again replied to the email stating that the link provided is the same and I'm having the same problem accessing the form Peloton want me to fill out. I wasn't able to get the issue resolved because Peloton stop replying to my emails I have to file a complaint with the BBB to try and get their help to resolve this issue.

      I purchased my peloton bike+ in January 2022 for $2,326. On July 28, 2023 the screen stopped working. I joined a support chat where I was told that I would need new handle bars and a new screen. In attempt to troubleshoot myself, I plugged the power cord directly into the screen to determine that it works. Then I called to tell them my findings and was told I need new usbc cables. They shipped me one cable. I replaced it and it didnt work. I called again, waited one hour for the call to go through. They told me I needed a different usbc to sensor board cable. Upon receiving the email confirmation I find that they sent it to a random address in ***********. I called again, on hold for at least 45 minutes this time to have it re sent to the right address. Once received, it still did not work. Then I called again, on hold for at least 30 min and was told that I need new handle bars. Those were also sent to the wrong address. Once I received the handle bars, they kindly sent a technician to put them on, one month later. The technician came and said its not the handle bars and I have a dead usbc port on the frame so I would need a frame swap and that he would submit the paperwork showing his report. I called customer service again today, on hold for ******************************************* on the phone for two hours trying to trouble shoot from scratch again with me. Then tells me she cant see the service report and that she isnt able to reach out to the service tech. I ask to speak to her supervisor and she says no because they are busy. And says that they wont give you free stuff either. We leave it as she will email me with some documentation and I have received nothing. I called the service tech on his personal phone and requested documentation of his visit, which he sent me. Hours of time on the phone, a service tech in my house, two months of lost time dealing with this and NOTHING. This company is an absolute disgrace.

      I purchased my peloton less than one year ago. I paid almost $3800 cash for it. I bought the accessories that came with it. The peloton team came to my home to assemble it. I called peloton to come and disassemble it because I was moving. The peloton team came and disassembled it Sept 15th at no charge. The peloton associate told me on the 15 th that there was no charge to reassemble since I was within my warranty. Now that I have moved and in my new apartment, I called Peloton to get a new reassemble date. Today, October 2nd, another representative that I talked to, put me on hold to see if I was still within my warranty. He verified that I was. He then told me there was a reassembly fee. I told him thats not what I was told. He put a woman by the name of Real on the phone. I was talking to her and the call dropped. She called me back. She told me that someone misspoke telling me that there would be no charge for reassembly. If they came out and disassembled the peloton on September 15th at no charge why are they charging me $175.00 now! Im so upset. I was given information by peloton that there would be no charge. Now peloton is going back on its word. A businesss word should be golden.

      We apologise for the Member's previous experience and any miscommunication that may have occurred. To clarify our policy, there is typically a standard fee of $175.00 associated with the disassembly and reassembly of the Tread, even if the product is within its warranty period. A Member of our Leadership reached out to the Member on October 2nd, 2023 to discuss the matter and work towards a resolution, and ultimately we honored the reassembly at no charge as a one time courtesy as of November 18th, 2023.

      On 9/22/23, I ordered a new Peloton Bike+ after months of contemplation and research (order number **********. The product arrived on 9/29/23 and not only had cosmetic damage but was also broken to the point that it is nonfunctional. It wont move past the downloading update screen. I spent 2 hours and 45 minutes on the phone with the company the same day. Final recommendation was a return and eventual reorder of the product after Peloton receives the product at their facility. The link I was sent to schedule a return also doesnt work. After requesting to speak with a supervisor, I was assured that one would call me within 24 hours and the representative confirmed with me that was 9/30/23 at 8:20 pm Eastern time. That was yesterday and I still have not been contacted. I have sent follow-up emails, and Peloton has not responded. I want the broken product out of my home, and I would like my order fulfilled without such stress. At this point, their promises to support the customer and return product seem fraudulent. I do think the company should work with us on how to make this right.

      I returned me rental bike but they continue to charge me for it. I called them and they refunded me the money up to that point and assured me it wouldnt happen again, but it continues. They are charging me two separate charges, $129/month for the rental bike I no longer have and a separate $44/month for the membership that services the new bike I bought outright. I spent a lot of time talking to their customer service and am not looking forward to doing that again.

      I have one login and password, yet I was paying for two accounts. And one of them was a $129 charge to lease a bike and one for $44. I bought the bike from a private individual.

      We have used our Peloton Tread 67 times with no issue. We have not moved the Tread nor modified it at all. In the month of Sep 2023, the Tread would not turn on. I contacted customer support (transcript attached) and they said I will need to pay for a repair person to look at the Tread since I'm just out of warranty. I called back and made an appt but have heard nothing. I also emailed them back (attached) inquiring about the service appt, but have heard nothing.We are currently paying for a tread that does not work, and paid for an appt that we have received no follow-up on. We just want somebody to come out and look at it so we can fix it.

Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.

    As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
