    Complaint Type:
    Service or Repair Issues
    Status:
    Resolved
    I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the XC Dash Camera and the customer service I have received from the company. I have been a customer for about two years and recently purchased the XC Dash Camera for added safety and security for myself, my family, and my vehicle.Upon installation and activation of the product, I encountered numerous issues, primarily related to subscription-based features. Despite reaching out to the support team, my experience has been less than satisfactory. The support person's demeanor was borderline disrespectful, and the issues persisted despite their efforts to assist.Here is a list of the problems I have faced so far:- A bug prevented my subscription renewal payments from being processed, leaving my car unprotected for an extended period despite paying a premium price for the system.- Recurring issues with the auto-renewal feature, which failed to renew my subscription automatically despite having enabled the auto-renewal option.- Problems with the streaming subscription functionality not working after manually renewing it.Issues controlling the alarm from my phone that required specific reset steps.- Repeated requests to escalate the case and constant rejection to escalate.- Stacked charges for the streaming subscription leading to quadruple the charges on my credit card. Support claims I enabled these multiple renewals manually which I didn't!- The latest response from support blaming me for my lack of knowledge of how the system works and offered to "educate" me, which I find to be the worst aspect of the entire experience.I am seeking your assistance in resolving this matter and obtaining a satisfactory resolution from the company. I believe that the issues I have faced, combined with the poor customer service, warrant compensation (at least for the stacked charges)Thanks,

    My primary reason for coming to BBB is to see if this company was legitimate. After having some recurring problems with their Dronemobile product and speaking to the installer I decided to do a bit more research and found others having similar issues with the product and company. I will have the unit removed and contact the companys headquarters that did the installation, not because I hold them responsible for the engineering of this product but because a couple of their locations attempted to defend the product even after being told of what the problem was and the video findings by a third party showing the problem and other customers writing about the issue. I do hold myself responsible for just trusting the store that carries the product. I have been dealing with this company (chain) for over 20 years and let my guard down. I found my issue and others dated a year or more before my purchase. I called Firstech several times during posted work hours to either be on hold for over 30 minutes and then hang up or get a message saying they were closed (an hour before they were scheduled to close) multiple times. I left my phone number and asked for a callback and received nothing. After creating a ticket yesterday I got an email today saying that they hoped they answered my question and were closing the case. They never addressed the problem, just closed the case. I have contacted other stores that were aware of the issue of draining a battery in less than two days down to 0. I even called a ******** installer. The unit will be removed soon. But if Firstech is still in business and out there I am willing to talk. I think my problem requires me to contact D.C. and the State ************************ to bring attention to this consumer situation. I encourage you to research this product before purchasing it to make sure it is right for you.
