Home Depot lifetime warranty claim silently closed without replacement or notice
A customer with a confirmed lifetime window warranty has their replacement case marked completed and deleted in Home Depot's system with no communication or resolution. Despite contractor confirmation, measured photos, and installation appointments, the claim disappears with no escalation path. Warranty enforcement relies entirely on the customer's persistence against an opaque CRM process.
