CAS-2521218-V0X6G2 CRM:0641000000013. I opened this case in November after I noticed a rattleing in my controller and a "soft" home button. I opened the controller up only to find that all that was holding everything together was the glue from the soft cushion on the back. ALL POSTS were deteriorated. All screws were screwed into either nothing or rotted plastic posts.
I called DJI to inquire about this. I sent them pictures of the rotted or broken plastic posts. They provided a postal return slip to affix to the box ... I mailed it to them.
After a couple of weeks, I get an email with a bill for $73.00 to fix the controller. Not a bad price and I was ready to pay for the repair ... but then it bothered me. Why should I pay for their poor worksmanship? Why should I pay them for either their poor choice of plastic or maybe they used screws that were too large for the posts? Or maybe the fumes from the battery corrode the plastic? I don't know exactly why all the posts were rotted, I just know that I never dropped the controller and that it was always stored in a Pilican case. Why should I pay for this repair?
So I opened a ticket with them. I make a complaint. I remind them that I showed them pictures or the posts. I get nowhere. I ask for it to be escilated. I was told that someone would call me back in 24 hours .... That never happened. I call back a week later .... go through the motions again .... can almost hear the flipping of the canned responses ... Was told that a supervisor would call me back .... Again, it didn't happen
Today, 12/17/18 =, I get a call from yet another person attempting English. This person said that they are the highest I can go and that the charge still stands even though he admitted that they have had this issue. I asked to speak with his boss or supervisor. He refused and said that he has no way to put me in touch with someone else. I further question him about where he is located (Are you in thye US or China?) He said that policy does not allow him to answer that question. I asked to be transferred then back to the repair facility in California ... He said that policy will not allow him to do that. I again ask for a supervisor ... Policy does not allow for him to do that .... I asked if he is the highest that I can go, then did he make the decision that this will be a charge ... He said yes that they have reviewed my case and made that decision ... I asked who reviewed my case (are you getting the feeling of a run-around here?) Policy ruled that since my controller was out of warrenty and even though it was a defect in build .. that I have to pay. I again questioned the billing ... This went on for about a half hour. Policy would not allow them to use common sense in this decision making.
If I didn't like the DJI drone as much as I do, I would throw it out and get a different one. But they are the industry leader and their drones are awesome to fly. But going forward, I do not think that I will ever buy another one again. Customer Service has it's place. To be treated like a flow chart script is unforgetable and unforgivable.

Hi XXXXXX,
Good day!
This is regarding the pending case that you have with us. I would like to verify the concern that you have with this case. Base on the notes of one of our supervisor, you wanted to have an explanation, I just want to know if it is regarding the cost or the reason why there is a damage on the remote? We do apologize for the experience that you had with the unit.
Thank you for understanding

Hi ,
Thank you for responding to my email and I hope this finds you well. Regarding your case, it is still in a "Quoted" status because the invoice wasn't settled yet while for your question on repair, we've charged you for it because the remote controller is already out of warranty period. I hope you understand that we don't provide free repair when the warranty expires.
Please let me know if you need anything
Best Regards,
Jayson
