Consumer Description

THE PROBLEM THAT I AM HAVING WITH MY VEHICLE IS THAT THE SECURITY LIGHT COMES ON WHEN TRYING TO START THE VEHICLE AND WILL NOT LET ME START IT. I HAVE TWO CHILDREN AND AM PREGNANT AND WAS STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF A STORM BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. AFTER THE LIGHT COMES ON, I USUALLY HAVE TO WAIT FOR 30MIN.- 1 HR. BEFORE IT WILL GO OFF AND THE VEHICLE WILL START. THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED 7 TIMES NOW IN THE PAST 6 MONTHS. I HAVE COMPLAINED SEVERAL TIMES TO THE SERVICE DEALER, AND THEY KEEP GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND AND SAY NOTHING IS WRONG AND CAN'T FIND ANYTHING. IF NOTHING IS WRONG, WHY DOES IT KEEP HAPPENING?? A FRIEND OF MINE HAS THE SAME VEHICLE AND IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I THINK THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS! I HAVE CHILDREN AND CANNOT AFFORD TO GET STRANDED.*AK
