Consumer Description

APPROXIMATELY A WEEK AFTER A REMOTE STARTER WAS INSTALLED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IN THE VEHICLE CAME ON, INDICATING A PROBLEM WITH THE CAM POSITION SENSOR. THE REMOTE STARTER WAS REMOVED (BYPASSED BY INSTALLERS) AND THE CONDITION BEING EXPERIENCED CONTINUED. THE RESULT IS THE CAR FAILING TO START PROPERLY AND AT TIMES CUTTING OFF WHILE IN OPERATION INCLUDING WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION, WHICH CAN CAUSE A CRASH. THE FAILURE IS STILL BEING EXPERIENCED AND THE CAM POSITION SENSOR WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. *TR
