Consumer Description

I WENT OUTSIDE TO CRANK UP THE CAR AND IT WOULD NOT START. IT WOULD CRANK BUT WOULD NOT START AND THE ANTI-THEFT LIGHT WOULD FLASH. RESEARCHED THE INTERNET FOR POSSIBLE CAUSES AND WAS ADVISED TO PUT THE KEY IN THE ON POSITION FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES TO BYPASS THE THEFT SYSTEM. IT SEEMS AS IF THE THEFT SYSTEM KICKS IN AND KILLS THE CAR SO THAT IT WILL NOT START. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES. I AM ALWAYS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO START AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES OF IT BEING IN THE ON POSITION, BUT THERE IS CLEARLY AN ISSUE WITH THE WIRING AS THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THESE CARS. *TR
