29th of Oct, 2011 by User708981

My son purchased the Gold's Gym 480 Treatmill from Walmart.com as a gift for me in early January 2011. I had to rearrange some rooms to accommodate it, so I didn't start using it until the end of March 2011. After walking only 7 miles the machine beeped 3 times and shut off. The control panel was frozen so left it for another day. The next day, I had a rough time getting the control panel to work, but it finally did so I walked 2 more miles and the same thing happened. I called Icon customer service on 9/30/11 and was told that it sounded like the control panel was defective, but since the warranty was for only 90 days, they would SELL me a replacement panel for $150. I then wrote to Walmart and to the manufacturer Icon Health & Fitness. Walmart never responded. Icon offered to sell me the replacement panel for 1/2 price. I refused their offer. Given the size and the weight of this unit, it's not something I can just bring back to the store! I would like them to replace the unit or refund my son's credit card. THIS TREADMILL COST $400 AND ONLY LASTED 9 MILES!!!!! DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM WALMART OR ICON BECAUSE THEY DO NOT BACK WHAT THEY SELL!!!!
