    I bought a 60" RCA 4k TV and within a couple months it went out on me. I contacted them and they wanted me to send pics of everything then they wanted me to cut the cord and smash the TV and I did. It's been over a month and all they keep telling me is that it's a process to be patient. Well my patience has ran out. They keep giving me the run around and now telling me today that it could take up to 6 weeks to make a decision on sending me another TV or my money back. How hard is it to make that decision. This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen. Their customer support is horrible and will and can't help you with nothing. I will never buy anything from this company again and I would defer away from y'all buying anything from this company.

    After using the RCA 3.3 Portable washing machine for almost two, I notice that the machine in the spitting cycle do not drain the cloth, even when I placed it in the double rinse the cloth stay soak in water. Because the machine do not have an agitator the clothes do not came out clean and it make a lot of noise.

    I just bought this television today, I got it out of the box, plugged it in and powered it up. I'm not the most technological person in the world, but I can read and can follow instructions, so I did what was needed. However the only concern I had was when I went to input my wifi password, it only allows for 16 characters, in the 6 years I've lived here with wifi I've always had the same password, it contained about 26 characters. I almost threw the tv out the window. it was irritating me that much. I had a friend come over to help me, he is my go to person when it comes to technological stuff that baffles me when my daughter isn't home.

    My friend went through everything and said you need to shorten your password, I don't know how so he took me to my computer and together we shortened the password to the maximum 16 characters. Once up and running I was amazed at how clear the picture quality was, I'm not a huge television watcher so I may not be the best to judge that one.

    The remote comes with a Netflix button so I could go to my movies at legit the touch of a button, I also have Disney Plus, but wasn't sure how to install that into the works, but there is a miracast so I can connect my cell phone to my television and watch it that way, there is Youtube, Facebook and Twitter with it as well if you're into that sort of thing. I have a computer for that stuff when I want it. I do like the Netflix and Youtube idea though. I was having fun with my cell on the television, I played Roblox on it, better quality and can see better too, full screen, my granddaughter has me playing the game with her so I needed to know if I could do that, better on these old eyes. LOL. Moral to all this typing, yes, I'd recommend this television to anyone that just wants a tv to sit back and enjoy watching a show or two.

    Updated on 06/05/2020: We bought an RCA 40" smart TV, after a couple of weeks the remote stopped working. The TV doesn't have any controls on it so the TV is useless. This TV warranty is a year. We had it less than a month when this happened. I have sent at least 10 emails pictures, copy of receipt, and serial number. They do agree we are due a new remote and repeatedly apologize for our inconvenience with absolutely no satisfaction. They first said due to Coronvirus, now they are blaming the warehouse. It's been 3 months and the TV is useless without remote. STAY FROM THIS COMPANY! THEY DO NOT BACK THEIR PRODUCTS!

    Original Review: We bought an RCA 40" smart TV. Within 6 weeks the remote was not working. The TV's warranty is 1 year. After 6 emails back and forth they finally agreed they are responsible to replace remote since the TV itself has no controls on it. My last email said it would take up to 1-2 months for them to send us a new remote.

    I bought an RCA 40 inch HD television in April 2019. In Sept 2019 there was audio but no picture. Called Curtis to put in a warranty claim. One month later still no resolution. They put you through a lot of hoops requesting pictures, video of a TV that doesn't have any video. They finally had all the pictures to their liking on Oct 1st, still no resolution. You can only contact them through email. Now they are requesting more videos and pictures destroying the TV with no mention of what will happen if you do. Refund? New TV? Plus there is no recycling of electronics in my area. Returning it would be to Canada maybe if they would ever send instructions. The process seems designed to drive you crazy so that you give up and I am at that point more than a month and 15 emails later.

    Bought a RCA Voyager 7" tablet thru Walmart online. Received it July 25th. It was cheaply made and very basic. Was just ok to get online and do basic stuff. The screen you had to hold at the perfect angle or it was hard to see. Batteries drained fast. It did have 2 plugs for charging though. Only had one camera lens for selfies making it really hard to try to take picture and then the screen stopped working less then 60 days later. Walmart said it was past their return time on the product but put me on the phone with manufacturer. They gave me a replacement number and had me fill some stuff out online. I get an email saying the manufacturer would get back to me with specific instructions on how to get the replacement. They never did, So I contacted Walmart again and they put me thru to the manufacturer again..

    Now the manufacturer says I have to pay to have the defective product sent back to them but the one they would return me would have a 1 yr warranty. I told them I had free shipping when I bought it but once it's defective I am not going to pay to ship their defective product back. It did not even last 60 days? So I Asked for her supervisor, she would not put me thru to one, Said I can call back and get someone else if I like but would not move me up any higher. If I want them to honor their warranty and send me a replacement I have to pay the shipping..

    So I called Walmart back and they put me on with their resolution dept after they looked into and told me not to worry about it, throw it away, donate it, or what ever I want to and they will send me a new one Free with no charge. This really surprised me (I have not always had good results with Walmart customer service). But in this case Phil in their resolution dept was able to help me, and got it resolved with less hassles and I was able to get back to work. I just hope the new one lasts longer then the old one..

    I bought this Television from Walmart for my Son for Christmas. It lasted about 8 months and began glitching and flickering. I can't return it to WALMART because it's after 90 days. The RCA warranty process (Curtis International Ltd. - 7045 Beckett Drive, Unit 15 Mississauga - Ontario, L5S 2A3 - Canada) is careless and frustrating. I've followed all of their procedures, sent all pics and videos of the problems. Corresponded to all their requests - (their email response process is terribly slow tantamount to one email response a day).

    To help expedite this process, and to clear up confusion and mistakes on THEIR part, I've had to make several phone calls, RESEND videos of problems and pictures of issues at their requests (they lost the first ones), and yet they still can't tell me where to take this POS television to be repaired. I can assure you that this IS, without question, the very last piece of RCA electronics I will ever purchase. It shouldn't take 15 days to resolve this issue. The "representatives" I speak with on the phone are apathetic and simply don't give a damn about you're problem. As of this writing, I STILL have not heard anything from them regarding the next "step" for this television. Buyer beware!

    RCA TV model RTU6549. We had a RCA 61 inch big TV. We bought this TV in 1998. The picture was getting dark so I talked my husband into getting a like 55 inch flat screen TV. Since we had the older RCA tv so long with very few problems we decide the RCA was the way to go. We had this TV for 2 years. Turned it on one day. Had sound. Could hear it changing channels but no picture. Was told could be lights, board or a part to function the lights and the parts and fixing the TV would cost about the same as a new TV. These flat screen TV are not made to last and never again will I buy another RCA.

    I own an RCA TV model LED58G45RQ which has a wakeup setting which cannot be disabled. This TV wakes up every day and I've tried all suggested remedies found online for it without success. I contacted the only service center number (Curtis Int. in the US) I could find online. They would not help as the model is out of warranty and discontinued (big surprise). Their suggestion was to contact a local TV repair shop (sure, pay someone more than the TV is worth). There is no website to download manuals or firmware updates unlike Sony, Samsung, and other modern companies. At this point, I need to either live with the TV turning itself on every day or toss it.

    We won this TV at a Church raffle. It was brand new when we won it in 2011-2012, 7 or 8 years ago. I can’t remember. We kept the TV as a extra in the new in the box until we opened it two years ago. When we opened it the white packing around the TV was saturated in a oily substance and it was all over the TV. We wiped it clean with paper towels and the oil wore away some of the printing on the TV. I set it downstairs after we got our basement finished in 2017 and we really didn’t use it, maybe once because we are using the basement as storage right now and the kids are two young.

    Today 6-1-19, I wanted to hook up a blu ray player and when I moved the TV, my hand was covered with oil again from the top of the TV. When I turned the TV around, there is oil everywhere and areas that look like a white crystal substance in dry areas. Ewww. I called around and Poison Control told me to toss the brand new TV. Tried to call RCA and they have hours that conflict with my work schedule to call and people knowing my business at work. Not happy.

    I thought it was a good brand, a good picture and a good price. I only watched this TV a little before I went to sleep. One night when I turned it on, there was a loud pop, a bright flash of light and the lights all turned off and there was a smell of burnt plastic. I tried to get it to work, checked the power and nothing. It's only 15 months and 12 days old, barely passed the 12 month warranty. The manual says even if it is passed the 12 months to call 800-968-9853. I did. A woman took my information and said someone would call me back in a few minutes. It's been 48 hours and no call.

    What a waste of money. I could have rented a better TV for less money. I very disappointed that RCA has stooped to this level. I read online that many different brands have done the same, used a cheap capacitor probably knowing that these TVs would commit suicide just over the 12 month warranty.

    I purchased this tablet for my youngest daughter for Christmas, she's literally used it for less than a month. It has a gigantic foam case and screen protector. I was only able to purchase it with a gift card I'd received from a class that promotes self-sufficiency for impoverished people. She has used this tablet less than 20 times and was home sick from kindergarten today when she sat it down on the coffee table. She covered up with her blanket and picked it up only to see FOUR HUGE CRACKS running vertically from the bottom towards the top. The screen immediately failed to work in any way, shape, or form. I still have her other tablet (that shattered when her sister tackled her; enough to slice your fingers) and the screen still works on that one.

    I went and found the RCA box with proof of purchase and the warranty information to call and try to stem the flood of tears by getting it repaired or replaced. I went through 4 different representatives with varying and indecipherable heavy accents, 2 of which were supposedly supervisors, all who told me that cracked screens are not covered by warranty and that I needed to pay shipping and a screen repair fee to the company so they could fix it. Well honestly, I don't care if the screen's cracked! I care if the screen works! That's not a cracked screen issue, that's a functionality issue. Every other device I have has a cracked screen, and they all work just fine. I happen to be typing this on a cracked phone screen, for heaven's sake!

    I called back to ask about their refund or return policy. They don't have one. Literally don't have one. So I asked the guy: "If it's past the 30 day policy Walmart has, then there's nothing I can do to return it?" He said, "Yeah pretty much." I was profane and hung up. I left them an email detailing the fact that I nor any of my friends and family will buy from them ever again and that I would do my civic duty to make sure others were never conned into buying anything RCA ever again. Do yourself a favor, don't bother buying a product from a company that outsources their customer service to a conglomerate whose main function is to provide heavily accented sheep who pretend to care on the other side of the phone.

    Purchased a 55 inch RCA Roku smart TV from Walmart.com on Aug 2018. Picture started flickering continuously about Dec 1st. Just over 90 Day Wal-Mart return policy. Still under RCA 1 year warranty. No help from RCA getting it repaired or replaced. Never thought a new TV would fail in such short order but it did. I can’t believe Walmart would still partner with a company that doesn’t stand behind its warranty. They spend more time with excuses and demands that you decide it’s not worth it. The only reason I went with RCA is they once were a leader in the TV world. Obviously those days are long gone. Don’t be suckered in by their low prices, it’s not worth it.

    After 5 months of buying this tv for $800 (65 inch 4K), there is no picture, only sound. I have warranty (Curtis International), but after reading so many negative things about the TV and the hoops to jump through with the warranty company, I am going to junk it. If you ask why I don't want to go through the process of warranty, I'll tell you. I am a senior citizen, life is getting a lot shorter and I have no time to deal with scammers. I will have to take the loss. DO NOT BUY RCA. You will be sorry... And that is a guarantee by me! There should be a class action lawsuit against them!

    We will never purchase another RCA flatscreen ever again. We purchased a 55” led and a 40” something flat screen led. The 40” out of the blue got some weird blue, red screen. And around the same time the 55” won’t turn on. Occasionally it decides to. But now nothing. Didn’t even get 3 years out of them! The smaller one was a basement tv so it rarely got used. The larger one always had these weird hard, crumb-like dust nodules on the back side which I googled to find that only RCA TVs do this and it's not a good thing.

    I tried to contact RCA and was told a different company handles the televisions. Then I tried to contact that company and you can only send an email. No phone number!! I emailed and never heard back. RCA is aware of their junk they keep selling with no true warranty and no way to fix the solution. This company should no longer be in the television business and a class action should be brought against them. They are aware of the problem and they still choose to sell the same bad TVs.

    We bought an RCA 953 Microwave, White through Amazon.ca through seller bigHUGE on May 15, 2018. It failed a few days after we received it. We attempted to get it serviced on the 12 month warranty that came with the purchase (stated in the manual) by calling the number provided: 1-800-968-9853. We received instructions from the call centre (callcenter@curtisint.com) on August 13, 2018 8:43 AM requesting that detailed information and pictures be mailed to customerservice@curtisint.com). This was completed and sent by e-mail on August 31 at 1:58 PM. We received no reply. We contacted RCA again telling the call centre that we had received no reply.

    Eventually we were told that a response had been sent (which certainly was not received) and when we asked what the contents were we were informed that it said that because bigHUGE was the seller the warranty did not apply, and we should contact bigHUGE. They promised that the information would be re-sent to us. We received nothing. On contacting bigHUGE by telephone, they said they were a distributor only and we should contact RCA.

    Again we contacted RCA (there is only one number for RCA: 1-800-968-9853) and were again promised that we would receive a response, that they would indicate that it was urgent but we received none. We attempted to get from the call centre a direct number for RCA or any other means of contacting RCA but they claimed they were just a call centre and could only pass on the request. This frustrating run-around appears to be designed to help RCA Canada avoid its contractual obligations as specified in the warranty that came with the product.

I was told that it was a crack inside of the tablet crack inside the screen. I told them that the tablet did not have a crack when I mailed it to them and if it is a crack inside it sound like a manufacturing problem. They gave me an email to contact rcaav.com_support_webform. I email this email address last year when I was told to by the first person about the crack and never receive a reply and I email it earlier this year and still did not hear back from anyone. It's been almost a year and I still have not received my daughter tablet back.

    I am very upset. I paid with my hard earn money and to be told that they will not send me back the tablet that I paid for is ridiculous and crazy. I never buy RCA and this is one of the reasons why I never buy products from this company. This company is a rip-off and it's a fraud. It makes cheap products that do not have the quality to it. I would recommend to anyone never buy RCA and for them to cheat my daughter's tablet for almost a year and refuse to bring it back. Refused to send it back is crazy.

    When I try to contact someone about it when I called the 1-800 number to technical support lady told me that I would have to email them. I have email every time I call that one 800 number. They give me an email address and every time I email I do not get a correspond. This company is a fraud and it's ripping off thousands of consumers. This company does not need to be in business and I recommend to everybody to never ever purchase an RCA product.

    I want my money back for the amount that I paid for my daughter's tablet. My daughter has not even been able to use her tablet once and it's been almost a year that they have had my tablet and now they're refusing to send it back. This is this company is a sham and a fraud and if you keep treating people like this you won't have a company. I could have spent my money and bought another product. I could have bought a Samsung. I could have bought Apple iPad but I purchase RCA and I'm now I'm being ripped off and my daughter does not have a tablet.

I know that I am not the only person that this has happened to but it needs to stop for this company to take people money and make and selling products that are fraudulent.

The lady who picked up the phone told me that whoever told me that was wrong to do so because they don't call customers back. So again I had to give her all my information and she said that the head office would email me within 48 hours.

I explained that I haven't received it and she continued to tell me that it's been sent so there's nothing she can do. After several minutes of telling the lady I haven't gotten it I finally ask how they spelled my email (even though I told the lady who asked for it how to spell it three different times) and they had it spelled completely wrong.

    Had issues with screen cracking. Sent it in 4 time, they never kept up with records. Not my problems, so then I got it back the fourth time there was a security code on it. Never put it on mine, then there was a scratch on it, never did that, always had a case. So now they don't wanna fix it. I'm like OK, I will never buy anything from this company. I'll let the world know not to either. Their all around company sucks.

    I've been looking for ways to reduce expenses and started researching Smart Televisions. I found the RCA LRK40G445RQ 40" 1080p 60hz LED HDTV with Roku Streaming (pre-installed Roku player 3400X) series television and purchased this one (and later a 32") from Walmart. When I learned the ROKU stick was 'pre-installed', I thought, Great! No set-top boxes to clutter up the room. Big Mistake. I want to warn potential customers not to buy any television with a pre-installed ROKU stick. Even though I purchased two of these televisions, a 40" and a 32" (because of the price point) I have since learned a very important fact I want to share with everyone. First, understand that a Smart TV the same as a computer or cell phone. New technology brings advancements with these products. If you own a smartphone, you know it's best to get a new phone every year to enjoy the latest upgrades. Smart TVs are the same.

    The ROKU stick in my televisions is 'outdated', even though I purchased them less than three years ago. First, don't buy any television with a pre-installed ROKU stick. As new ROKU players become available, you are stuck with a television that cannot be updated to the latest version of the ROKU product. I learned this the hard way and hope my experience helps you understand more about Smart TVs. At first, I enjoyed saving money by cutting the cable and only paying for internet and Wi-Fi. The ROKU feature has many free channels that are 'average' but to enjoy watching movies and network programming, you need to purchase add-on subscriptions. I added Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, and CBS All Access. I don't mind having regular channels and have enjoyed the add-on subscriptions.

    Another problem is CBS All Access stopped working this year. After calling customer service repeatedly, I've been told they are having technical difficulties with 'older Roku versions' such as mine. What? My RCA TVs were purchased in 2015 & 2016. While CBS All Access customer service has been quite cooperative, I am unable to watch the 'regular' channel I most enjoy. They say they are working on the problem and hope to resolve this issue. Next, I wanted to try the new DIRECTV app and learned it is not available with ROKU. I'm trying to contact RCA directly to file a complaint. In my opinion, RCA should never have manufactured these televisions. The 'average' customer who can't afford an expensive television also can't afford to buy a new television every few years to stay current with the 'new technology'.

    Please do not buy any televisions with pre-installed Roku sticks. As technology improves, the stick you are 'stuck with' cannot be updated and the television is basically worthless if you want to watch new programming. I have no problems with the other subscribed providers and no interruption streaming media. This is a three-fold issue. One being RCA, the second with add-on providers that you can't use with Roku, and the third Roku. I sincerely hope I've helped you prior to purchasing a Smart TV. Be a 'Smart' customer and do your homework prior to making a purchase. Remember the good old days? I had an RCA television that worked perfectly for over 20 years. Things are not the same these days. Smart shopping!

    Replacement of DVD player - I purchased a portable DVD player for my grandson for his birthday in February for his birthday to use to travel to Disney World. We had some trouble with it, it would say no disc or disc unknown when you had a disc in it. It would work some. We went to use it a second time and it would say no disc or disc unknown. The second time, it never worked at all. I contacted RCA and got no response back. I am very unhappy with this product and definitely did not get my money out of it.

    Below is an email I wrote to RCA to deal with my problem: "I recently contacted your support center about an issue with my TV and it was determined that the TV needed to be repaired. All of the service centers the rep. on the phone listed for BC were more than 4 hours driving distance from my location. The rep. then tried to argue with me saying that the Prince George service center was only an hour from me. I looked it up on Google to demonstrate the distance and informed him that it was over 750 KMs from my location. He then suggested I ship the TV out to the Ontario warehouse for it to be repaired and shipped back to me. When I informed him the shipping would be worth more than the TV he said, "that since I was unwilling to take it to a service center" that I send you an email. I called the service line back and asked to speak with a supervisor to escalate the call and hopefully find a better option.

    I suggested having the local TV repair center fix the TV and have me reimbursed for its cost. This was denied and the "supervisor" told me to send an email. I've attached pictures of the information on the back of the TV along with the receipt and the front of the TV itself. To be honest I'm quite disappointed with the level of customer service I have received thus far. In this digital age I'm dumbfounded that an international company would have policies in place that prevent timely cost effective solutions. Much less not have someone that can be reached by phone to deal with these less straightforward situations. The above description of events does not include the time I spent on hold, which was beyond reasonable. Nonetheless I am writing this email to hopefully find a way for me to have a working television in a timely, cost effective manner. Please respond and inform me how this is to be dealt with."

    They replied with the same information about the service centers I was informed about on the phone. In my online research I found that RCA is a brand owned and operated by Curtis International Ltd. They have the same support phone number listed on the sites of their other brands, they are; Curtis, RCA, IGLOO, SYLVANIA, and PROSCAN. There are probably 2 people at the end of that phone answering questions with prepared responses out of a book. I took my TV to my local repair shop and the technician there told me there was a problem with the circuit board and that he couldn't source ANY circuit boards for that TV. Never again with I ever purchase an RCA product.

    Bottom-line... NEVER, EVER buy an RCA product! Don't even THINK about buying an RCA product! Bought an RCA 24" LED, DVD Combo unit in January 2016. DVD mechanism started acting up within 90 days. Worked with Sears Tech Service via phone for 6 months, even bought a cleaning disc. Sears finally said the unit was defective and needed to be returned to RCA for replacement. They gave me a contact number which was never answered... There was only a recorded message that all reps are busy and to send an email. Kept calling at various hours (even the middle of the night) and sent a dozen emails.

    Finally, after 3 months, I received an email back apologizing for the delay and asking for more info. I sent the info and another dozen or so emails but never heard back from them. We were scheduled to leave the US for hurricane relief work in the Bahamas so we just bought another TV (Vizio) right before we left the US. When we came back I was told to contact our State Consumer Affairs department. Which I did. Lucky me... I'm over the hill so we were immediately put in the 'seniors vs crime' division. So now, the State of Florida is dogging them.

    RCA is just an average 55" LED flat screen with minimal features that performs well and is a great value. The picture and colors are quite good. Sound is ok but there is some motion blur. Also, the remote is junk so I don't use it. The sound and picture are not totally synchronized but I no longer notice it.

    I bought this tv (32" Led TV Model RLDED3258A-E) in less than 2 years ago as a second tv. It was used very infrequently. After 19 months it wouldn't turn on. First, it took me quite a while to find out that Curtis International looks after this particular RCA tv. I returned to the store where I purchased it and was told this tv is one of the most returned and that I should have read reviews. I did not get the extended warranty for 2 years. I sent an email to Curtis explaining situation and was told that as a courtesy they would possibly cover the cost of the parts but I would have to take it to a dealer for an estimate. I called an authorized dealer and would told the estimate costs $50.00 plus HST and there is a minimum $150.00 tv repair charge thereafter. I bought tv for $248.00 total. I then took tv to a shop and it cost me $70.00 for part and repairs. So before you buy look at reviews. If you decide to buy this particular tv get the extended warranty.

After I sent emails and made phone calls we finally got an answer and now it is 6 WEEKS later and we still do not have our TV back. Very frustrating experience. Also to find info online about RCA is very limited.

After several weeks of waiting for further contact from RCA after our TV (receipt attached) was deemed unrepairable, we've been directed to you for a refund or replacement.

    This TV was costly & was bought recently, it was diagnosed as unrepairable by the technician that was sent out (receipt attached). We were told that the warranty would be honored with a replacement TV or a refund within (2) weeks. That was now several weeks ago.

I immediately noticed that the screen is distorted and has red and blue wavy lines all over it. And not only that, the screen is cracked. The very thing I sent it to be repaired for! It's a different tablet so obviously they replaced it, but this one is worse than the one I sent to them.

    Again, I contacted support and was told to send it to them AGAIN to be repaired along with another fee and the exact same process I went through before. I paid my fee. They should refund it or send me another tablet that isn't more damaged but I fear they'll send me back a box full of random parts this time. I complained to customer service one last time but I'm not expecting a satisfactory answer. I'm just going to recycle this piece of trash because it will cost more than I paid for the tablet to fix. And I am NEVER buying from this company again.

    I have got a Voyager PRO with keyboard case few months back and it worked for the first month and then it quit. It wouldn't. It acts like it takes to charge and then it's not taking a charge. It won't turn on. You can't reset it and nothing. And when you contact RCA they want you to pay to send it to him when it was under warranty and for you to make sure that it was in bubble wrapped in a certain type of box and everything. Why aren't they sending the stuff if it's under warranty. They should be paying for whatever it needs to get there to fix it or replace it and send it back. This isn't right.

    On June 24th of 2015 my wife gave me a 46 inch RCA led tv for my birthday on June 25. TV was great for about the first 7 or 8 months. Then when the tv was turned on, all we would get was sound but not picture. Just a black screen but would eventually give a picture if you turned the tv on and off a couple of times. Finally it stopped working altogether. Called the number for warranty which is a nightmare in itself. Finally got the go ahead to take tv repair shop. Took about 3 weeks before we got tv back. Had to order parts. Working fine again. In August, tv started doing the same thing again. Called back to warranty. NO WARRANTY LEFT, expired June 24/16. $220.00 repair on a 14 month old tv. Told repair shop to keep it. RCA... really crappy appliance. Thanks.

    Much like Jeff a few posts ago, I purchased a 48" RCA HD TV from Walmart for my mother, my purchase being in February. Five months later, it quit working. July 18, I called RCA, and they agreed it was under warranty, and would send someone out August 2 (2 weeks for a service call). The technician came and worked on it, telling my mother that it had a defective panel and would need replacing. He said that his company would send that in to warranty the next day, and we should hear something from them on the replacement in about a week.

    A couple of weeks later, my mother tries calling the phone line he gave her for the RCA support, since she has not heard from them. The phone picks up with, "All of our associates are currently assisting other customers. Please try again later or leave us an email at customerservice@activeon.com, and we will get back to you within one business day. Thank you for your patience." My mother waits a couple of hours, and gets the same message. She tries first thing in the morning (their hours), and gets the same message.

    Being an almost 80-year old woman who cannot learn e-mail, she turns it over to me. I tried several times to call, and got the exact same message, so I sent them an e-mail to customersupport@activeon.com on August 25, going off the promise in their recorded message that they would get back to me in a day. Guess what? Nope.

    At this point, RCA says that they do not do any service or warranty on the tv, that I have to go thru ActiveOn. ActiveOn doesn't answer phone calls or e-mails. We are now 42 days from the phone call to start the warranty service, and can get absolutely no information from anyone. If RCA is not going to be a part of RCA television customer service, they need to take their logo off of that product. If they are going to continue to make money off letting others use the logo and name, then they need to support the customers who have bought strictly based on that name.

Based on info given said it sounded like symptoms that almost always require a new TV for replacement. Technician cannot come for 8 days. Technician comes and says he is certain that the TV will need replacement, but has to order parts that RCA insists on. Goes through this all the time and parts fix problem 1 out of every 20-25 times. Schedule return to try parts 11 days later.

    Comes, tries parts. As predicted do not fix problem. Says we will get new TV. RCA however needs 4-5 business days to call customer for making this happen..

    Has no idea how long it will be for them to then get TV in hands of customer.

    I purchased an RCA Business Phone. The phone was defaulted due to a cord and headset piece being completely broken. My customers can't hear me on the phone but I can hear them. Not a great way for me to conduct business. I called for a replacement which led me to having to call about 6 times. Once I finally jumped through all of their hoops and was going to get my replacement, my request was denied. Most of the customer service representatives need more training on how to talk to customers especially when they have a faulty product.

    I have had to spend way too many hours on this issue and RCA still won't assist me. They didn't even apologize for their product being faulty. I don't think they stand by their product or customer satisfaction.

I had to send several emails to finally be told that information.

    After waiting the entire month of May, I emailed RCA AGAIN to see what the status of my tablet was and was told my tablet is in the warehouse and it has been repaired for a cracked screen. She also sent payment information ($30) to me for the replacement cost. I emailed the representative back and explained my tablet was sent in because it wouldn't power on. She then stated to me if my tablet got damaged during transit to them, it is the customer's responsibility. I asked for a supervisor to contact me.

If we found it was charged and unplugged it, ten minutes later it was out of power. I bought it through Wal-Mart's, with the two-year warranty. When I took it back to Wal-Mart's, they told me I was two days past their return policy (15 days). So I went home and called customer service. First "Lisa" (strange name for someone with a very strong Indian accent) told me that I needed to find something with a similar sized charge cord and try using that. When I told her I was unwilling to void my warranty by using a cord that did not go to my tablet, she directed me to a website called RCA repair your tablet. Again, I told her that I was not fixing my own tablet, that I was not an idiot, and that I knew once I started "working" on my own tablet, she informed me that she couldn't help me if I was "going to be difficult".

    I asked to speak to her manager. At first, she told me she didn't have one. I asked her for her name and desk reference number. She told me her name was "Lisa" but that her last name was "personal" and that she didn't have a desk reference number. I again asked to speak to her supervisor, she told me she could take down my number and he would call me in an hour. It's been three hours, just as I suspected, I didn't get a phone call. I have to wonder why I bought a warranty! What a joke. Wal-Mart told me that it was RCA's problem. RCA told me that it was Wal-Mart's problem. So essentially I wasted one hundred and seventy dollars.

    We have an RCA 32" TV/DVD combo in a spare guest room. Purchased this from Best Buy on March 21, 2015. It was used about 2 weeks total time. Won't turn on. No sound, no picture. Phoned Warranty at 888-977-6722 about Jan. 26, 2016. Told me they were sending me a box to ship it in for repair, however the box never arrived. Called back to RCA 3rd party warranty claims and was told I didn't provide my Best Buy Receipt, find it and call back. I found the receipt, called back and was told by Robert that a box would arrive in about 5-10 days. Waited, no box arrived. Waited an additional 5-10 days and still no box. Called on March 21 and spoke to Anthony, who told me he saw the problem, someone in his company filled out the form wrong. I asked for a box and he told me too late now to fall under the warranty, because it is March 21, and I purchased the TV on March 21, 2015.

    I asked for a supervisor and he told me I couldn't speak to one. He told me call RCA escalation at 858-798-3300 and if they decide to help me, call him back. Unbelievable! I called and left a message for RCA escalation, explaining that their 3rd party warranty vendor, in my opinion, ran out my warranty time purposely and refuses to assist. (We are talking January-March!) In the interim, I phoned back RCA 3rd party warranty and spoke to Jorge, asking him to speak to a supervisor, after having explained the warranty scam again. Jorge put me on hold, came back and said I couldn't speak to a supervisor, they are just a 3rd party, not RCA. I explained to Jorge that his company is a 3rd party hired by RCA to represent them, and they failed me, and I feel they cheated me out of my warranty.

    He gave me a number for his legal department at 847-286-2500, which is Sears Holdings for customers who purchased products at Sears or KMart. Not applicable to me, and further misuse of my time and terrible business tactics presented by RCA's 3rd party warranty company. I did receive a call from a man named Dave, after having left a detailed message with my model no. LED32G30RQD and serial # on the company voice mail. Dave ensured me that he would speak to his appropriate colleague and phone me either later the same day, March 21, or the next day. I write this on March 23, with no follow-up from RCA.

    This TV is quite inexpensive and I didn't expect high quality, however I expect to get a decent amount of time from a product that is not utilized on a consistent basis. (Ironically RCA warranty department told me that for some reason if you don't consistently use your RCA TV they stop working? Seriously, this 3rd party needs to reevaluate the telephone operators they hire, or at least give them a decent script of excuses for the TV not working). It is now more a principle issue, because this TV should have been fixed in January.

    I have an RCA alarm clock. Today I spent two hours following directions to set the time. When I did as the instructions stated I got the radio set, not the time set. I tried and tried for the time set. I really regret ever buying this clock radio. The top of the clock has the word press and hold, but there isn't anything there to press and hold. There is no tech support, I have tried to call they are closed. I will never buy RCA again.

    I have a RCA F35317 35 older television. It has been going strong with a beautiful picture for about 25 years now. It continues to work so well that I have not been able to justify throwing it out. It has audio video jacks but the adjustment for the picture is very old fashioned with the old spin knobs that must be turned manually. The sound quality is good and even after all these years the speakers are still clear on the loudest volume. It does have some downsides. They include: *It is quite heavy and requires 2 men to move. *It requires a digital converter box or cable box for operation *Many universal remotes will not work with this TV automatically. Some can be programmed to work with it, like the Logitech Harmony, but many simply will not work.

    I own two RCA flat screen TVs. Both were bought at Walmart for very reasonable prices. I think the color and picture quality is very good. The resolution looks great on HD. Both TVs came with wi-fi capability which I find to be a huge option so that I can stream Netflix. Each TV also has USB and HDMI inputs.

    I bought a RCA TV Less than a year ago and went out over 2 weeks ago. I called RCA right after it went out. RCA scheduled to have the repair guy come out on the 15th between a certain time. When time was up and repairman never came I called RCA back to find out that the appointment was never scheduled and now I have to wait another two weeks.

    I understand a television set that I have purchased under the name RCA was produced by an inferior manufacture that is no longer in business. However, that does not concern me because I bought an RCA television that should be backed by RCA... however, after numerous attempts of getting some support from RCA, I was finally told that I could not be helped and perhaps should hire a lawyer by one of your customer service representatives at the # 845-798-3300. I see how RCA stands behind their brand name and is absolutely vile and disgusting.

    I am not in the habit of purchasing a new television set every few years so your CEO can make thousands of dollars an hour by selling inferior products. I have been documenting my WONDERFUL experience in trying to get compensation for the superior television I have wasted my money on. I will share this documentation with who I choose and will continue to spread the word about RCA products (not to ever buy one). I would have liked to have resolved this issue easily, however RCA has not allowed me to. Thanks for nothing.

    I'm a Grandmother who purchased this Tablet at Walmart for one of my Granddaughters for her Birthday, which was July 16th. She was at my house for dinner so I took the Tablet and hooked it up to the charger while we ate. After Dinner I gave it back to her and as soon as she turned it on, it had nearly a white screen with horizontal lines across the screen. I was able to get to her homepage where all her icons were. I took at back to Walmart and they said I would have to go directly through RCA and the number is on the box it came in.

    For one I wasn't happy about having to go through this in the first place. So as I returned home I called RCA spoke to someone in Support Dept. They created an RA for me and said they would email me the return postage to use sending it back. A few days later I contacted them because I hadn't yet received it. I finally got the Email and sent the tablet out on July 29th. The Tracking of the package stated that it was received on Aug. 4th. I just received it back yesterday Sept. 2nd. My Daughter in law was setting it back up for my Granddaughter and she was only able to hit icons in the Vertical position of the Tablet. Nothing worked when Tablet was turned to the Horizontal position. Then the screen turned all white.

    I called RCA and he said they would send out a refurbished Tablet to replace it and would be sending a shipping label to return my Granddaughters tablet. I am furious about this. I bought her a brand new Tablet and they'll replace it with a refurbished one. She had it in her possession for 13 days before I had to send it back. This is not right, I'm sorry. They should stand by their products and if they can't then they shouldn't be in the Business. I'm not stopping here. I will Report this to the BBB.

    I bought this for my 2-year old. As she's growing into becoming a toddler, even the grocery store trips were becoming a nightmare. I bought it online through Walmart and it came promptly, even though I had ordered a package for this dvd player and a dvd (the frozen movie) and I never got dvd itself, but that's just walmart for you. It took me a while to figure out where the volume was because since it had a remote control I would never think the volume was only featured on the monitor itself. I never put both monitors to work because I only have one kid to entertain so I just stored the other one. This did wonders for only 2 weeks before it started giving me a lot of troubles.

    First it would just stop at every little bump the car went on, then It started rewinding or fast forwarding by itself. I mean it got to the point where I really wanted to break it just to get rid of it. It was irritating me because I would have to stop every two minutes to check on what was wrong because my toddler kept yelling "mommy broke, mommy broke." So since I had paid for the warranty when I purchased it I contacted them. They then told me I had to talk to RCA directly so I did. They then proceeded to tell me I had to open a ticket online by filling out a form which I did and somebody was going to contact me. Later I realized that "someone is going to contact you" meant that someone sent me an email telling me I had to ship the broken piece in for them to fix it. No shipping labels, no replacements, no explanations on how long this was going to take.

    Nonetheless I didn't argue. I did as I was told, paid from my pocket and mailed it in. 6 weeks later it finally came back. I first thought It was a new piece but soon realized it was the same old one so then I thought well maybe they had fixed it . WRONGGGG AGAIN!!! It worked 1 day and started doing the same problem. And don't even get me started on their customer service, not only do they s*ck in manners and are rude as hell but even their supervisors are a bunch of helpless, uneducated people. After I called to tell I had the same problem 6 weeks after they had that piece of ** to fix it, I was told to repeat the process again and send it in again for their technical team to "take a look at it." If you don't have time to deal with a bunch of uneducated people stay away from this company, not only this product. I will never purchase another RCA product in my entire life!!!

    Unless you are told to call customer service it is better not to start claim online then call. Things get crazy and miscommunicated because you have 2 different people trying to help you doing 2 different things. RCA is known for its lifetime warranty & customer service with repair and replacement if there is ever a problem. I must agree with this because they are very knowledgeable of RCA products. There were no questions asked because I already filed a claim online and then called them after 1 week and no responses. You have to wait for a pre-authorization # with the address of repair company in New York. Box it up and ship it (I used UPS). In less than 2 weeks they replaced my son's tablet from mfg defect of usb with extra tablet accessories.

    CHECK YOUR SPAM, JUNK, AND TRASH BINS. My email was in spam. They have automated response to your issue. There is no way for them not to respond. It responds automatically to every online issue sent rcatablets.com. The 2nd pro10 (less than 6 months old) screen is cracked: I have the protection plan & they are standing by their word. I mail this one back and they e-gift card me in 48 hours upon receiving it, no questions asked. And if they don't I'll come back here and complain about what a ripoff it was.

    YOU MUST REGISTER YOUR TABLET WITH RCATABLETS.COM FIRST + company if you have a purchase protection plan, or walmart.com if you got it from Wal-mart. They research to find who is warranted to repair or replace. Every company is different under the limited, mfg, dealer, retailer, or private company's warranty agreements. They need time to decide who's responsible: You? Warranty company? RCA? A parts mfg? Etc.

    My husband bought me a RCA Pro10 Edition in November 2014 at Walmart, but I didn't open the gift until Xmas. I liked it a lot, but used it mainly for eBay and Facebook, store personal photos & other info. I didn't use it a lot. I usually charged it & unplugged it when done, & cut it off when not in use. One late night I plugged it in before bed & left it overnight to charge. The next day, toward end of January 2015, when I went to turn it on, it would only open to the page with the RCA logo with the dogs. It kept going from a black screen to this logo page only. It would not allow me to turn it off or on. The battery eventually died. Since the 30 day return policy was over at Walmart, I just left it laying for a few days till I could to contact RCA customer support to request help.

    They told me to do a factory reset, which causes you to lose everything stored on it. Since it would not turn on or off, I could not retrieve anything before doing this reset. It worked for a few days and then did the same thing again. I had to do another factory reset, and lost all my info again. They eventually sent me a RA label to print off for UPS to pick it up. I requested for it to be fixed and for the expensive anti-spyware to be kept on it. They said they would do so and return it to me. After probably 6 weeks of waiting for them to ship it back, I got upset. I kept emailing back and forth & kept getting the runaround.

    Finally, they shipped a replacement that did not have my anti-spyware still on it. The screen was also bent upward on all corners and had trash underneath the screen. It could be seen really well when turned on. When I sent it to them, the screen corners were very flat and no trash was underneath. I emailed them again and requested a replacement and asked them to go ahead and send the replacement and I would send the first replacement back once I received the second replacement. It took longer than they to me it would take to receive it again. Again, I kept getting excuses as to why I had not yet received it.

    Finally, I received another replacement, which still had the corners of the screen curved upward, but not quite as bad. It was also a different color than what it was supposed to be. I was supposed to have a black tablet to go with my black keyboard. This one was grey. I was tired of fooling with it, so I just kept it. The 2nd replacement didn't even put a serial number sticker on the back of it, like the other two did. So far, which has been close to 2 months now, it is still working. I just got tired of fooling with the whole mess. The customer service sucked, too. They won't do anything except for email, which can go 24-48 hours between replies.
