Lame customer service from Rigid Industries?
Has anyone else here experienced crummy customer service from Rigid Industries?
I bought a SR 6" last year, after I installed it, which was fairly easy, everything was working great.
But soon, the led built in to the supplied toggle switch quit working. I let it slide a little while, but then I forgot and left it on overnight a few times, and a couple more the neighbors alerted me to it being left on. So, just this last fall, I called Rigid and spoke with CS, they assured me they would send one out to me. It never arrived.
I was going through a move at the end of the year, and am trying to get them to do what they promised originally, but have gotten a run around of, not a customer service thing, it's a tech support thing, then tech support doesn't return a call when I left a message.
I've always thought they were a stand up company, has anyone else experienced this with them?

Yup, same here. I contacted them over a year ago about an LED that turned black (not burnt out just black). My first attempt I didn't hear back from them. Second attempt (1month later), I received a vague response saying they'd fix it but didn't provide me with details. My third attempt, I asked for company procedure in order to get this light in and have it repaired but I never heard back from them. I kind of got lazy from there and never bothered trying again. The product is outstanding and after converting all my lighting to Rigid's LED's and spending over $2500 on lights I'd expect otherwise.

Ok if it was the toggle switch led that went out why didnt you just go to a auto store and buy a new switch you could even buy one with a different color led in it and it would have cost you about 5 bucks I don't ever use the switch that comes with any product I buy because 99% it is a really really cheap switch
And I have had warranty work done by rigid and they was great all around about it

Hold on I might be missing something , the led on the toggle switch went out and because of that you didn't notice that you left your bright led lights on over night . The cheap chinese switch that comes with the lights is nothing special unlike their actual product

I'm not blaming them for my ONE led light being left on, just saying I didn't notice the light on because it was in an apartment parking lot and the switch light wasn't on.
I check almost always now.
But I don't think it's too much to ask for them to do what they told me?

So because I chose to use the switch they supplied, which I drilled a hole to fit in my dash makes me wrong?

What I don't understand is why you didn't take the switch out and just go to a auto store to get a new one

I will do that because I don't expect I'll hear back from them. More of a principle thing, ya know? I already paid a nice price for a complete setup, don't feel like I should have to spend more because their stuff doesn't work.

I understand the principle thing , but those switches you get with a kit almost always suck some way or another

Agree...if you pay a arm and a leg for rigid setup there shit should work and if not replace ASAP.......I hate poor customer service.
