This is apparently what TomTom considers to be a “solved” issue.

My reply:

I do not consider this issue “solved”.

Your product completely died on me for no reason under normal (very light) conditions, just over 1 year out of the box. Like normal, I plugged it into the car adapter, and turned it on. The screen flickered and went dark. All attempts to reset the device according to your web site have failed. The power light remains lit until the battery dies, and a full charge still does not allow it to be reset.

Your support representative did not offer any sort of material assistance for what I consider to be a product defect. How about a free upgrade to the iPhone app so I don’t have to rely on your faulty hardware? How about a discount towards a replacement product? You do not behave like a company that desires to keep its customers.

Based on my recent experience I will likely never use a TomTom product again nor would I recommend one to anyone. I will also be blogging about my bad experience with your product and customer support. You are still free to contact me to offer a product exchange, refund or upgrade, though I doubt you will.
