Consumer Description

THIS CAR HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE SECURITY SYSTEM. IT WILL EITHER CRANK UP, THEN QUIT RUNNING AND NOT CRANK BACK, OR IT WILL SHUT OFF EVEN WHILE IT IS BEING DRIVEN. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED ON 12/14/12. I WAS ON MY WAY HOME AFTER PICKING MY DAUGHTER UP FROM HER GRANDMOTHER'S HOUSE WHEN THE CAR JUST SHUT OFF. I WAS APPROX. 15 MINUTES FROM HOME AND CALLED MY WIFE TO PICK UP THE BABY WHILE I TRIED TO GET THE CAR STARTED BACK. AFTER TRYING FOR ANOTHER 15 MINUTES, FOR A TOTAL OF 30 MINUTES TRYING TO GET THE CAR TO CRANK BACK UP, THE CAR FINALLY CRANKED UP AND I WAS ABLE TO GET IT HOME. I WAS LUCKY THAT TIME, IT WAS NOT DURING THE BUSIER TIMES OF THE DAY, BUT WHAT IF I HAD MY DAUGHTER WITH ME AND THIS HAPPENED ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY? I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO REPLACE THE LIFE OF MY LITTLE GIRL IF IT HAD HAPPENED ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND RESULTED IN A FATAL COLLISION. *TR
