Consumer Description

SECURITY LIGHT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING. AT LEAST ONCE A DAY THE CAR WILL NOT TURN OVER AND I MUST RESET BY TURNING TO THE ON POSITION FOR 10 MINUTES. THIS HAS LEFT ME STRANDED IN UNFAMILIAR SITUATIONS WAITING FOR THIS TO RESET. UPON THE FIRST TWO TIMES OF THIS HAPPENING (BEFORE I HAD A REPAIRMAN TELL ME OF THE RESETTING) I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A SHOP AND OVER 400 DOLLARS SPENT ON A FUEL PUMP. THE SECOND TIME THEY REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP AND THE THIRD TIME AFTER BEING TOWED IT STARTED AT THE SHOP. THE FOURTH TIME IT HAPPENED AND TOWED TO A DIFFERENT REPAIR SHOP AND THEY WERE THE ONES TO TELL ME OF THE RESET PROCEDURES. NOW IT HAPPENS ABOUT EVERY DAY. *TR
