NordicTrack C 990 Treadmill bought on October 3, 2019 so outside of warranty. Tablet for the treadmill was bricked by a software in December 2022. Contacted iFit, the only option presented was to buy a new console out of pocket - which is ridiculous because this is not a hardware fault or breakdown due to usage. It is literally the software update that was pushed by the company that made the device inoperable. Unfortunately, due to the fact that I don't live in the US I can't join the class action lawsuit currently being setup so this is the best I can do.

I am rejecting this response because:1. A simple ****** search yields hundreds of similar complaints that all arose during the same time period for this treadmill and other iFit / NordicTrack equipment that uses the same type of configuration (i.e., Android tablet running the iFit application); I've taken the liberty of grabbing the first few results:
*************************************************************************************************************
***************************************************************
*****************************************************************************************************************************
**************************************
2. Accepting the companies assertion that it is not software related, and if it is hardware related - given the sheer number of failures reported this should result in a recall; they are replacing consoles with issue for free if it is still under warranty and charging customers out of warranty having the same issue
3. I don't have the time to wait on hold again just to be given the offer of buying a new console that costs more than the value of the treadmill
If the company wants to speak to me, they have my contact information - they can call or email me at their convenience.
Sincerely,

I purchased a NordicTrack Commercial **** treadmill from NordicTrack/IFIT in December 2021. It came with a 1 year manufacturer's warranty and I also purchased an extended warranty (3 years). One of the advertised features of the treadmill was incline from -3 to 15 degrees and the ability of the treadmill to automatically adjust incline to match the included IFIT workouts. However within the first few months of use, I noticed that the incline needed to recalibrating very frequently - nearly every workout. Otherwise it would get stuck in one positions, not move at all, or move but not match the incline in the workout (i.e., workout screen said incline 8% and treadmill would be in a declined position). A service technician came finally in June 2022, however the problem was not fixed - it recurred again, though for a while it was less often. I called NordicTrack back in October 2022. First they told me that the incline wasn't covered by the warranty. Then they told me to take videos of the problem to explain what was happening, which I did. Then they told me that first they would order parts and I would have to call back to request a technician come to install, which I did. On 11/2/22 I was told that I would receive a call from the service company within 3-5 business days, however I never received a call. I tried calling the service company directly (3XM) no answer. When I finally got through again in early June 2023 they told me they had no record of a service request ever being placed. They told me it wasn't under warranty since I was beyond a year at that point, and the extended warranty people told me that wasn't covered under the extended warranty. I've emailed again twice asking about getting a service tech out to fix the treadmill, but ultimately I still don't have that scheduled. The treadmill has had the same problem since I bought it 18 months ago and they have not fixed it. They actively try anything to get you to not be able to utilize the warranty.

I was charged for a yearly membership that I never signed up for, I even tried to cancel my "free trial" back when I made a purchase with them - but they never responded back to me. They never sent me my product, so eventually I reached out and they refunded me in full. Now a year later, ifit has charged a credit card that that isn't even listed on my "Ifit account"! This was without my permission. I have tried to contact them for a refund and got no response. All I want is that charge refunded.

Purchased a Proform Carbon T7 treadmill with iFIT software. IFIT performed a software update and my treadmill stopped working. The screen is blank. It wont turn on. We followed their recommendations for troubleshooting. Manual reset. Had an outside technician come to the house to diagnose it. Said the console board was fried. Referenced an article by you (Better Business Bureau) that reported many people had the same issue after this software update. I contacted iFIT and was on the phone for over 2 hours. They passed me along from department to department with no resolution. Told me I had to purchase a new console for ****** and have someone come and install it. The machine does not turn on. No power. No way to use it at all. The warranty is expired. They told me there is nothing more they can do.

Bought an elliptical machine in January, delivered February 2. Paid extra to have it assembled. It did not work. Struggled to get customer service, filled a complaint with ******************** and someone reached out. I have been waiting for my machine to be fixed. I am still not able to use my machine. The guy canceled his appointment to fix it after waiting for a second shipment of parts. No word from anyone about rescheduling. Frustrating that I cant get a working machine. They just say they will extend my warranty. Still cant use the machine.

The business is the most difficult business I have ever had to call into customer support for. A phone call to them takes a minimum 45 minutes and usually longer. I have spent almost 5 total hours trying to get warranty parts from this company. Two devices broke with the same issue. In February I was able to get one of the controllers ordered, it was out of stock and finally arrived in April. I am now trying to get another controller for our second treadmill that has malfunctioned and they make it very difficult even though I have the serial number that shows its under warranty. The controller is once again out of stock only a mere weeks later. I feel like this company is being deceiving. If I am having this issue with two devices I cannot imagine how other customers are feeling.

I purchased NordicTrack **** Treadmill on March 10, 2023 due to my previous treadmill not working. My previous treadmill underwent a forced update in January and the estimated time for a new console was unknown. When a new console came the technician broke something else on the treadmill and another new console had to be ordered. To say I was fed up is an understatement. Not wanting to wait anymore I decided to purchase a new treadmill. I was admist training and needed a working device asap. The new treadmill is horrible. It shakes, does not adjust speeds or inclines properly and is horrible quality for the price. I called customer service in to inquire about a refund and was told I would have to pay $500, which is ubsurd. I have an extended warranty and decided to place a service call. The technician is currently at me house and has said he is unable to fix it. I am asking for the company to come and pick up the treadmill free of charge and to be refunded the two months worth of payments I have made. I will keep my old treamill as it is of much higher quality and is finally fixed.

I am rejecting this response because: I went through the troubleshooting procedure which took me past the 30 day window. The machine rattles, does notswitch speeds or incline smoothly. When the technician finally was able to come out to the house he stated he couldn't fix the problem. This is why I am unhappy with the product and would like a return. I can not run on a product that makes so much noise and does not adjust smoothly,

You stated the following."After looking over your account, we can see the tech notes that were left when the tech was out there. He stated the machine was working to manufacturer's specs. We are happy to send another tech out to inspect your machine if it's still not functioning correctly."I took off twice for the tech to come to my house and spent hours at work on the phone since encountering my first problem with my old treadmill which lead me to buy a new one. The same tech previously broke a wire when installing a new console on my old treadmill that had a forced update thanks to IFIT. I waited months for a new console only to have to wait again for another one. Fed up, I purchase a new treadmill and have had nothing but problems with it. I have already conducted a live call while running, thanks to my husband recording it to show how much noise and difficulty it has adjusting in terms of speed and elevation. Perhaps, it shouldn't be advertised as something you can actually run on and instead indicate it can be walked on. Unfortunately, I have an inflamed heel spur and can't not run at the moment or I would gladly attach another video.
At the end of the day I have already taken too much time off work dealing with a brand new treadmill and want it returned free of shipping costs. Surely you can still sell it as a refurbished machine no problem, isn't that better than having an unhappy customer who has done business with your company for years? I don't believe this is too much to ask. Please reconsider my request. Thank youSincerely,

This machine has been down for over a year waiting on parts or technicians to install them. I've had several technicians come to attempt to fix the same parts over and over. The last technician ordered several parts. I believe all the parts are here however, he doesn't return my calls to verify or set and appointment. I purchased this machine persuant to medical direction. Do I need to contact an attorney too get this matter resolved?

Norditrack Commercial ********************************* January 2023. I contacted customer support and they determined the treadmill was still under warranty and needed a new console. The part was finally delivered to my home 5 months later, May 2023. A service tech came out and installed the console, however the treadmill still does not work. The console powers up, but the incline and belt do not move. The tech left my house knowing and indicating to me that the treadmill probably needs a controller or motherboard replacement. I contacted ifit.com service again and they said they could not do anything until the tech submitted his notes and suggested replacement parts. Three weeks have now gone by and nothing is being done. I contacted ifit.com again and they are stating the tech's notes say the treadmill was working when he left. I contacted tech and he says his notes say the treadmill needs a controller. I am stuck in the middle and ifit.com will not do anything. I sent videos to ifit to prove that the treadmill is still not functioning. It has been 6 months since my treadmill stopped working.
