Consumer Description

THERE IS SOME SORE OF DEFECT WITH THIS CARS SECURITY SYSTEM. IT COMES ON AND DISABLES THE CAR ALL THE TIME, EVEN WHEN DRIVING IT. I'VE HAD TO PULL OVER ON A HIGHWAY WHEN THE CAR SHUT DOWN DUE TO SECURITY SYSTEM. I FOLLOWED THE MANUAL STEPS TO GET THE CAR TO START BUT ITS A TIMELY PROCESS AND IT HAS TO BE REPEATED EVERYDAY. NOW THE SECURITY LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON, NOT FLASHING, WHEN IT FLASHES IS WHEN THE CAR IS DISABLED. BUT WE HAVE TO RESET THE SYSTEM EVERYDAY AND ITS BECOMING INCONVENIENT. WHAT HAPPENS IF THE CARS SECURITY SYSTEM DISABLES THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING AND I HAVE MY GRANDCHILDREN IN THE CAR. IT CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND IS DANGEROUS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. THE INTERNET HAS MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE CARS SECURITY SYSTEM. SHOULD BE A RECALL OR DEFECT OR SOMETHING. *TR
