So a couple months ago I was flying my spark and mid flight at 83% battery it dropped into a swampy wooded area.  I looked for a long time but there is a large pond in middle of this area.  Where I think it fell was unsafe for me to get all the way into, the swamp is almost like quick sand.  I have told DJI support that this isnt a safe area to enter and they told me not to even try.  Now DJI support has offered me 50% off and are saying its the final offer and my case is being closed.  This was escalated one time and I have my doubts as to whether I am talking to the original support person or if they even escalated it.  Any way someone can check on this?  

Case No: CAS-3496050-L2X9C3

If recovery is the only way to get a replacement I will have no choice but to try to get the spark.

Does this apply if I go into the pond area and find the spark and send it in?

Love the name drop too, nothing like putting my personal info on the forum... About what I've learned to expect from DJI

**They edited it but originally put my full name in post.

Any1 got a class action going?  Never had something with such a clearly written warranty not get replaced.  A complete scam, what a horrible company.  Wait over a week to respond by email then closing my case without replacement.  I had the spark for 1 day before it dropped out of the air mid flight.  I was showing it off too, they saw it fall and I'm glad they got to see what a POS it was.  Clearly a battery disconnect issue but they don't want me to try to recover it and wont replace it without sending it in.  Now DJI says it doesn't matter if I send it in they still wont replace.  WORST COMPANY EVER!!!!!!!   WORST COMPANY EVER!!!!!!!   WORST COMPANY EVER!!!!!!!   WORST COMPANY EVER!!!!!!!   WORST COMPANY EVER!!!!!!!   WORST COMPANY EVER!!!!!!!   WORST COMPANY EVER!!!!!!!   WORST COMPANY EVER!!!!!!!

Saturday I was flying my drone over some woods and my battery dropped from 54% to 0% in a matter of seconds. Just contacted DJI and they said there’s nothing they could do because my warranty has already expired.

Meaning that you've had your Spark for over a year? Usually they are still able to repair it if you find it..

Yes had my mavic air for over a year so they said warranty was already up. Flight los clearly show an issue with battery because of the 54% to 0% which clearly wasn’t my fault and they said there’s nothing they could do

I would call them, ask them to talk to a manager, explain your situation and ask for a little bit of help.. they may sympathize with you
