Consumer Description

I UNLOCK MY CAR, GET IN, PUT MY KEY IN THE IGNITION AND GO TO START THE CAR, WHICH IT DOESN'T BECAUSE THE THEFT SYSTEM LIGHT STARTS FLASHING. I THEN HAVE TO WAIT 10 MINUTES WITH THE KEY IN THE "ON" POSITION, WAIT FOR THE THEFT SYSTEM LIGHT TO GO OUT, TURN THE KEY OFF, THEN START THE CAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 20 TIMES. NO PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED. *JB
