I have a newer phantom 4 pro v 2.0 that has been flown approx 12 times. today I calibrated the unit as requested by the software. I slid the take-off button and up it went for about 5 seconds until it launched itself without any warning sideways at an accelerated speed. I had no control of the unit whatsoever as it landed in the river never to be seen again. I called DJI and they said to file a Fly Away form and that there would be no guarantee as to the outcome. I have done so as per their request, this appears to be a problem that is being swept under the rug with DJI. I hope they do the right thing and get this replaced as this was not a user error it was a total malfunction of the DJI product. Has anyone had a similar issue?

Obstacle avoided revising flight

A weak GPS signal may be compromised

Susan I just received an email saying that nothing could be done. I need DJI to do better than this. It's unacceptable. I understand the out of warranty but this is clearly a problem as stated by many users that are not being addressed. Please see how we can make this right, so I can continue to be a DJI customer in the future.

Unfortunately, this will be a very large mistake for DJI-"Good news travels fast bad news travels even faster"

I will refer this to my legal council- I highly suggest you make this right before I take the next steps. I have forwarded the flight log to DJI support.  This is absolutely unacceptable at all levels -

Jonni ... DJI make very good drones, but unfortunately are not very good at communicating.
If you want to find out what really caused your flight incident, you need to have teh flight data analysed and get a good explanation of what caused the incident.
Your description was very brief, but I think I know the cause, but wouldn't like to say without seeing the data to confirm what I suspect.

If you want to get the factsacts ....  go to http://www.phantomhelp.com/LogViewer/Upload/
It has instructions to find the .txt file from your phone or tablet which you can upload to that site
Upload it and it gives you a summary of the flight data.
Post a link to that summary.

Or just post the .txt file

They requested all the data and it’s been analyzed. It’s like living in Portland Oregon. Apparently it’s not my fault but it’s not the drones fault so nobody does anything and nobody takes any responsibility for anything….

I am sorry for the situation. Please be advised that since the product is beyond the warranty period, we may not be able to provide a free replacement, regardless of the analysis result, a corresponding solution will be provided based on the policy. The team will reply to your email soon, thank you for your patience.

Hello, there. Sorry to hear that. May we know if you created a case to send your aircraft back for repair?
