They can pull all the data they want, and it will not show any crashes, because there has not been none...
Drone has never been dropped or anything like that.
The photos I sent them clearly shows stress cracks, I don't know what this people are talking about...
Any suggestion how to deal with this, Or should I just lawyer up?

I went ahead and paid the money since no one there could help me, everybody says its pilot error yet no data to support that...
I am very disappointing with DJI, I own a inspire one, Phantom 3 advanced and this piece of crap Phantom  4 pro..
They can bet I will not be expending a penny on another DJI product...

The store cannot do warranty repairs.  They can fix it but you would have to pay for the service.  If you want us to do that please got to dji.com/support and open a reqair request.

Unfortunately I'm another victim of the stress cracks problem on my P4.  It has never been crashed.  I don't want to send it in and have to pay for them to tell me they aren't going to honor the warranty.  Is there anything wrong with me just putting some Loctite super glue plastics bond on the cracks?

I would just put some kind of plastic repair glue.. Don't send it to DJI , They are trash company and they will charge you and tell you it was your fault

Thanks for the case number, the case has been escalated in August and according to damage assessment, the drone had an impact damage and it was not just stress crack but also gimbal motor, middle frame, landing cover and motor damage. And you have already paid the quotation and case closed, appreciate your understanding.

Bull crap  Drone had none of that, other than a stress cracked, I have pictures to prove it. Thats just the way DJI does business, They could not find any crashes on the data files, Easy money for them, But companies like that, they have there day coming..
I will continue to post everywhere, what they did to me..
