    I am filing this complaint to document Motorola Mobility’s refusal to honor a valid warranty and to warn other consumers about the poor quality of both their products and their customer support. I purchased a brand‑new Motorola Moto G Power 5G 2025 (Model XT2515‑1) on November 23, 2025. About a week later, the phone slipped from a height of roughly two feet and developed a small screen crack. The crack was minor and did not affect the phone’s performance in any way. The device continued to function normally for the next two months.

    In early 2026, the phone suddenly stopped making and receiving calls. T‑Mobile examined the device and informed me that the internal antenna had likely failed and that the issue should be repaired by Motorola under the manufacturer warranty. I contacted Motorola, followed their instructions, and sent the phone in for warranty service. After receiving the device, Motorola informed me that they would not honor the warranty solely because of the small cosmetic crack. They refused to even assess the internal antenna failure unless I first paid $200 for a screen replacement—an amount that exceeds the current market value of the entire phone. The internal defect is unrelated to the crack, and the phone worked perfectly for months after the minor damage occurred.

    Motorola’s position is unreasonable and appears designed to avoid honoring legitimate warranty claims. Their customer service was dismissive, unhelpful, and unwilling to consider the timeline or the nature of the defect. I am not seeking restitution. My purpose in filing this complaint is to make other consumers aware of Motorola’s lack of product reliability and their unwillingness to stand behind their warranty. I hope this helps others make informed decisions before purchasing Motorola devices.

    Horrible product! On the tail end of paying for this abomination of a phone! Screen got black dot and vertical green line just after a year of owning (just out of warranty). Since then the whole screen went black and I have been able to take and make calls with the screen when folded (inner is dead black). I will NEVER buy a Motorola again...stick to the cheapest plan and phone as these are synonymous with disposable lighters at this point. Disgusted as I really liked it and had a waste/belt carrier for when folded. Never abused, always kept clean and it died right out of warranty.

    So I purchased a Motorola Razr 2025 brand new. Only had it 3 days. It started doing what it wanted to do flipping from screen to screen on its own. Called them. Had to send it back. Now they saying if they can’t fix my phone they will send me a refurbished phone but I’m paying for a new phone. This is some BS. I will never deal with Motorola again.

    Motorola absolutely does not honor their warranty. They will make numerous excuses as to why they shouldn’t. Don't buy ever. They are completely rude and don't honor any portion of the contract. They place you on hold forever.

    Motorola knows that the RAZR phones demagnetize after 1 year and they refuse to do anything about it after you take it to an authorized service center and they put on a new screen protector. The very day my screen protector was fixed it demagnetized that night. The store replaced if for me 2 more times and that was it! I will not pay for insurance on something that should be covered by the manufacturer BECAUSE they KNOW this happens often! The Razr 2024 is a good phone EXCEPT for that. Now I will have to buy another phone when I'm not even done paying for this one yet!

    I had to buy another phone for my husband already because they had to replace his entire scrren before the warranty ran out of course!!!! He had to send it in to them to do and couldn't go without a phone for 5 days for work. SHAME ON YOU MOTOROLA, YOU KNOW THIS HAPPENS AND YOU DON'T CARE. I was told I could send my phone in to have the screen replaced for $415.00!!!! THAT'S A JOKE!

    Motorola is the worst company to buy a phone. The phone was under moto care. It had a minor scratch. They said they will charge me 100 dollars to repair my phone which had battery heating up. Phone switched on and off and keeps hanging up.

    I was forced to return my original Motorola phone because the screen failed. Although the warranty on that device had expired, Motorola sent me a replacement. That replacement developed a green line across the display — another clear defect. When I contacted Motorola support, I was told that replacement devices do not come with a new warranty. When I asked why, the agent’s response was simply, “that’s just the way it is,” and then they disconnected the call. This shows both a refusal to stand behind their products and complete disregard for customers.

    Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (15 U.S.C. §§ 2301–2312), companies cannot mislead consumers or unfairly restrict warranty rights. Selling a replacement device that develops a defect and then claiming it is not covered is both deceptive and unacceptable. The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC §2-314) also requires that products be fit for their ordinary use — a phone with a defective screen is not.

    Motorola is knowingly distributing faulty devices and hiding behind policies that strip customers of basic protections. This opens the door to product liability claims and potential regulatory enforcement. I expect Motorola to repair or replace this defective device at no cost. If not, I will escalate this matter to the FTC, state attorney general, and consumer protection agencies. After this experience, I will never purchase another Motorola product again and will warn others about how this company refuses to honor its obligations.

    I purchased a Moto G in 2023. Recently Motorola made some type of update and the entire format changed and the ability to answer the phone when a call comes in is now gone. I called the service provider where I received this info and was advised that Motorola was responsible for the loss of use through the update. No more Motorola for me, I bought a new phone based on these and other reviews.

    I recently got this Moto G Stylus (2023) and it is the worst phone I have ever gotten. It crashes every app you open. I literally mean every app. I can't take pictures anymore because it just won't keep the camera app open. Everything is incredibly slow, and I can barely use this phone. Every time I start typing, the keyboard will just disappear mid text. I can barely reply to messages, or look anything up. Even while typing this review the keyboard disappeared. Multiple times, and it just won't come back until 20-30 seconds after it disappears. The specs are just horrible and the price is just way too high.

    I had a phone that was older, cheaper, and ran 3 times faster, and no apps ever crashed. You can be playing a game, and it will just take you to the home screen out of nowhere. There goes all your progress. And I'm not the only person with this problem. This phone is barely 2 years old and it can't even do basic stuff. This phone is $170 when it's not even as good as the $30 phones you can find at Dollar General. I'm am incredibly disappointed. My ten year old tablet works better than this phone, and it's nearly broken.

    Hey, this is for anyone who would dare purchase from this company, their devices are not worth your hard earned money, and I know because they are the only thing I can afford. I kid you not, I would buy a Google pixel over this sub par slop of a "Device". I've been stuck with these for 7 years, and each model is worse than the last. Not to mention customer service is like the stereotype crap you see on TV, it sucks bad. In fact it's nothing short of crazy this company still stands in 2025, it should have gone down with BlackBerry and Nokia, this stuff is ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE. And if you're looking for reliability and DURABILITY (they love advertising this, but they don't sell anything durable) buy a Pixel, a Samsung, anything else, they might cost more but in the long run, they're infinitely times better.

    I got the Moto G from Straight Talk on a sale. Always had Samsungs before. Today I cleared my apps on the Moto and a message came on it saying how many gigabytes I saved by doing that. Like I did something really special. So then I wanted to Google something but the message the phone put on my screen saying, "Atta boy, save those gigabytes," was still there covering the typing area. I tried to discard it doing things I've done before but that message stayed there. So I shut it off for a while and then powered it up again. Same message still there. So I grabbed each end with my hands and bent that ** in half across my knee. Then I went out to my driveway and threw it hard on the concrete 4 times. I won't purchase another phone from that company. And it felt good.

    I submitted my Moto G for repair due to technical malfunctions, with no pre-existing physical damage. The device should be covered under warranty. According to the warranty policy, physical damage voids coverage. Upon arrival at the repair center, they reported physical damage and are requesting a payment exceeding $238 for a phone that was undamaged before shipment. Are there any noticeable damages on this device? Save your money. Do not purchase this phone.

    I've recently switched to the Motorola Edge 2024, and I’ve got to say—I'm genuinely impressed. For a device in this price range, it delivers way above expectations. Right now, I’m testing Smart Connect and writing this from my laptop, but the input is happening seamlessly through my phone. The integration is smoother than I anticipated, and it's honestly kind of fun. The phone itself feels great in the hand—solid, premium, and thoughtfully designed. The camera performance has been a highlight too; the AI-enhanced photos come out vibrant and crisp, much better than I expected from a midrange device. I'm using this as both my personal and work phone, and it hasn’t skipped a beat. Out of all the phones I’ve tested over the years, this one genuinely stands out.

    📱 Minor drawback? Software updates are definitely on the slower side. Mine's still running Android 14 while newer versions are already out, and although Motorola has started rolling out Android 15, they’re not quite caught up. That said, even without the latest OS, the phone runs incredibly smoothly, and I haven’t felt like I’m missing out.💡 If you’re looking for a reliable smartphone under $1000 CAD with great performance and practical features, the Motorola Edge 2024 is a solid choice. I’d confidently recommend it to anyone who values value and functionality—especially if you're not obsessed with having the absolute newest version of Android.

    I sent it off for repair. Their repair tracker says they are shipping me a repaired or replacement device. They are not. They are sending me my old broken one. I have screenshots of it saying a repaired or replacement device was shipped to me. The people are rude when you call and I was refused a supervisor when I asked for one. We used their devices for our small business. We will be looking into legal action for their obvious lying and switching over to Apple devices and telling everyone we know not to use Motorola

    Have been a Motorola phone user for the last 10 years and 6 months ago I purchased a Motorola stylus, I have learned in those 6 months that the stylus is the worst purchase ever and I truly regret it, so much so that I am thinking about going back to Samsung. I have to turn it off and reset it at least four times a day and no it is not out of storage and no it has not been dropped and yes it has been well taken care of by me but it has not reciprocated that action. It shuts down, I have to push several times lightly on links for them to pull up, videos stop in the middle of playing and it has nothing to do with my carrier because I've been with the same carrier for 18 years and never had this problem before. I could go on about this phone but it is too much to write and I'm not a happy camper. Motorola do better or I will be going back to Samsung.

    Started to use my Moto Care Warranty and found out it was a scam. First I purchased the phone in 2023 and was told I would receive a pair of Bose earbuds for purchasing the phone early. The earbuds never came. Then I went to use the Warranty after screen separation, (2 years later and $175.00 dollars for warranty later). This is what I was told. Instead of take the phone to local repair place, here is the process. Download phone to cloud. Wipe phone to factory settings, Mail phone to Motorola, wait 2 to 10 days for phone to come back, download cloud stored phone info back to phone, Then pray everything works again. Also pay $110.00 for them to repair it on top of the warranty that you paid for. Purchased Motorola phones for 30 plus years, (Never Again now). Local phone repair shop wants $199.00 and 1 hour to repair. Huh, which is the better deal? No Brainer. Oh, Local shop does not want to take phone back to factory settings either.

    Good luck getting your package in a reasonable time, unless you have time to sit around all day like a dog outside awaiting your mail. I had a whole run around with UPS and Motorola and for whatever reason neither one can do anything about the package restrictions that Motorola puts on your packages. I was told by Moto that UPS will make 3 attempts and then my package will be sent back to Motorola. When I asked her why they have that specific restriction, which doesn't allow you to pre-sign or change the delivery location to a UPS store location for pick up, the lady hung up on me.

    My phone is shattered, I accidentally dropped it on pavement earlier this week and I needed this phone to come in today. I took today off from work in order to receive my package and somehow I managed to miss it. Okay. My bad. Now I have to wait for 2 more attempts to sign for the package within a full week of work before my package gets sent back to the carrier... Awesome... How about allowing me to go pick up my package from a store location if it can't be delivered. They were extremely unprofessional and I don't recommend this company. It's an alright phone for a decent price but best of luck to you if you have any complications or need assistance.

Well they want a $29.99 expediting fee, PLUS a $363.00 deposit, totaling $418 after taxes. Instead of sending me a new phone, making this right, they want to charge me for THEM selling crappy products. I had my phone less than 3 months before my screen started going out.
