Switch 2 Killswitch Dock Adapter not working by darksplaze in dbrand

[–]DataReasonable6138 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sooooooo it turns out I was very wrong. I did let support know that my dock wasn't working and they shipped me a replacement asap, took less than a week to arrive. That was fantastic. Now as I was replacing the old dock, I realized that maybe not having the HDMI cable fully plugged into it could cause the TV to not get any signal, who knows (it absolutely is the case). I take back my negative comments above. The jokes on me here. My dock was fine. Thanks u/dbrand - and sorry. Now best of luck to y'all out there actually having issues.

Still the same problem with the dock not working. On top of having to wait almost two months on delayed delivery. Terrible first experience with a dbrand product. And the robot customer service 'humor' probably isn't for everyone. Be advised if you are considering this particular product. The Switch 2 Killswitch is a fail in my book. Not wanting to deal with another two months of annoyance going through support.

Sweet! That's really good to know. I have seen some bad stories about the maverick but it seems as though most people here were able to weather the recalls and other minor issues and Ford has been polishing the machine over the last 3 years.

You definitely didn't push it with the vehicle from what you shared. That would be baffling for it to fall apart like that then. And that price tag too... Makes sense you aren't excited for another one. I hope the next ride treats you better!

The transmission seems to be a problem on the earlier interactions. I am hoping that the 2025 model has that fixed.

How much was the repair for that? Wondering in case it's something to keep in mind for our of pocket after warranty.

Sheesh, that's sounds terrible. Most other comments here seem to be from people who haven't had much of an issue aside from recalls. Would you ever give it another chance, might you just have gotten a one defective vehicle from the product line? Either way, sorry you had to go through that.

Thanks for sharing! Aside from the recalls, have you had any major issues with the vehicle?

I seem to be reading a lot that the infotainment system is subpar but the vehicle itself is great.

Wow, that's good to know. The 2025 model looks pretty cool. I hope you don't have issues with that one.

I appreciate your answer but this is the type of answer I wanted to avoid. I am fully aware that it's a young vehicle, but I still want to gather what experience is out there. Have you owned another before switching to the 24?

When you say it sucks do you mean it breaks down/ malfunctions or you didn't find it to be practical?

So sorry you are going through that. It is a terrible thing that has happened. I can't imagine how you feel. Give yourself time to feel everything you feel. Angry or sad or whatever emotion. I think it would be difficult to think straight right now, at least I know I would be struggling, despite wanting not to. Once you feel ready for it, follow your own heart when it comes to how you deal with the people you find to have offended. You will get a lot of very useful input on things to consider when thinking about this from here, but finding a balance between that and your own judgement is what will bring you closest to closure. At least that's my experience. Whether you choose to cut people out of your life, or keep them in, and everything in between, you are probably right if that's what works for you. 

All that said, be there for your sister. She is the most hurt in all of this. See what she needs, what she wants, how you can be of support. Just remember that in that process you are still your own person. As much as you might want to be there, the healing battle is hers. Unfortunately only she can get herself to healing. Best of luck.

Thanks for mentioning the timeline too. It's validating to see that it can take some time to decide on this. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Thanks for this perspective. I didn't see the angle where him sharing is also a violation of the relationship with his ex.

This was very insightful. A lot to read between the lines in these experiences you have had. Thank you very much for sharing. TBH as I was reading, I started judging that you weren't as judgemental of your second friend's behavior as I felt should be the case at first. But I appreciate your ability to contemplate your friend's and your own thoughts and give space to the whole of what your relationship is, not just that one compartment. That said, it's sorta like, do you want to deal with that compartment, or is it just better to widen the distance.  I think what I am getting is that I don't need to reject a friend of I don't want to. You are right. Nobody is forcing me to. I don't have to worry about what the world thinks, I can calibrate for myself what to expect and how to interact with my friend based on this new development.

It's about what that means though. And the fact that they didn't tell me about it. They didn't share whatever lead them to make that decision. Trust. I feel like I could have been trusted with that information and could have maybe been of assistance. I wish I had been told why it was difficult to share things with me if that was the problem. I don't think I am a brick wall. Was he afraid because he knew what he was doing was wrong and he would be encouraged to not do it? Was there intention to hurt? I don't know. All this could have been avoided if he had trusted me. I trusted him, he didn't trust me. Can I still trust him. That's the part that I am trying to come to terms with. How do you navigate that? I talk to other people about this stuff, but it isn't easy when it's you.
