Hi all,
  This is my second post on this subject. I had a crash with my Phantom 4 pro 3-29-2019, It was approximately a mile out and about 200 feet up when I received a High Wi-Fi interference warning and was advised to land safely ASAP...I pressed RTH button on the remote and it was returning to me when the screen froze and I lost contact, I waited a couple minutes, jumped in the cat with the remote and was able to pick up the signal from the remote and was  able to locate the quad, with very heavy damage as I have Cate refresh I made a claim and sent it in. DJI said I was only 10m off the ground going dull throttle and that it hit power lines...there was no other input from me except the RTH button , but, I did not complain, I paid the 99$ and received my replacement April 17th  I bound the controller to the quad as instructed and was literally just flying I. The yard 10-15 ft up and it flew directly into a power pole no input from me and apparently no attempt at obstacle avoidance...so I had to immediately send it back in again, just wondering if something, a DJI person, can tell me if there is a malfunctioned ction not the fault of the operator will DJI replace it?

CAS-2943240-W5V1V9 is my case number, I am just concerned that I don't lose my last care refresh as this was definitely not my fault thank you for any help you can provide

We can take a look at the flight log if you care to follow the link below please? Right off the bat though, im going to call compass error, did you calibrate it prior to launch?

We will apply the data analysis and do our best to figure out what happened, our support team will contact you if more data is needed.

Everything checked good, compass, IMU, everything, I had 14 Satellites...I was literally just testing functionality in my front yard after having just received the drone.

Dear Melinda,

Thank you for your patience.

This is Ken from the Technical Support team, and I will be assisting you on this case from now on for related inquiries about data analysis.

Here's the result of the data analysis on your case number: CAS-2943240-W5V1V9.

Incident date: Mar. 17th, 2019
1.  The aircraft worked under GPS mode, and responded to the pilot’s command well;
2.  Flight Time T=1045s, Distance to Home Point D=40m, the aircraft flew to the left as the pilot moved roll stick to the left, and crashed with obstacles;
3.  Obstacle avoidance can't detect fine objects such as power lines.
3.  The incident coordinate:  35.8985008 -77.9978932

According to the analysis, the incident was not caused by any product malfunction.

We can still proceed with the repair, however, you will cover the repair charges.

Your understanding and cooperation will be highly appreciated.

Best regards,

Ken

So the above is the email I received from DJI, this basically proves to me they just will not approve a warranty claim. Prob #1- it occurred April 17th not March 17th, prob #2- same stock response of how it can't see power lines, it hit the pole people, tue pole , big as a tree trunk prob#3- there was no input from me on the controller, it was hovering, moved in a straight line toward the power pole , stopped for a second and then flew straight into the power pole.
  I really didn't want to believe all the horror stories about their customer service, but , now I am seeing it firsthand.
  So I guess, barring some kind of miracle, I will now have to use my last care refresh replacement.
  This is a shame, I own 2 4 pros, a Mavic zoom and a Mavic Air and this is how I get treated?
  Shame on you DJI....

Hi, I do apologize for what happened and for the whole situation. However, upon checking with your case it's already payment confirmed and you already settle the invoice for the second replacement with this, we can no longer dispute the invoice anymore. I hope you understand. Thank you.

No, its off your phone or tablet, if you follow the link and the instructions you would know ;)

Not that it matters now as you have settled anyway

I am already almost 6 weeks in without the copter and need it for my business, so as bad as I hate it and as much as I disagree, it was the only decision that made any sense...
