Consumer Description

SECURITY SYSTEM WENT HAYWIRE. I GOT IN MY CAR TRIED TO START IT, IT WILL START, BUT DIES IN SECONDS, NO DASH LIGHTS, IF I LEAVE THE IGNITION TURN TO ON AFTER SO LONG 10 MINUTES OR LONGER SOMETIMES THE DASH LIGHTS WILL TURN ON AGAIN. AND THEN I AM ABLE TO START MY CAR AND DRIVE IT, HOWEVER SOMETIMES THE CAR EVEN AFTER WAITING A HALF HR WILL NOT RESET THE PASSLOCK SECURITY SYSTEM. IT COSTS OVER $500.00 TO FIX AND THIS IS THE SECOND ONE I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE IN MY CAR. THE DEALER SHOULD BE FIXING THIS ISSUE AS IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND HAS HAD MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. THIS IS RIDICULOUS HOW CAN THE CHARGE SUCH AN OUTRAGEOUS AMOUNT AND YET IT GO BAD AGAIN AND NOT RECALL THIS. *TR
