Consumer Description

THE CAR HAS SHUT OFF SEVERAL TIME WHILE SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. THE CAR HAS SHUT DOWN SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING. THANKFULLY NO ONE WAS INJURED OR HURT. *TR ANOTHER ISSUES: MY CURRENT 2008 YARIS HAS ONLY 23,382 MILES ON IT, SO THE CAR DOES NOT HAVE HIGH MILEAGE. I HAVE INSTALLED A TOTAL OF 2 DIFFERENT AFTERMARKET ALARMS ON THE CAR BOTH BY PROFESSIONAL BUSINESSES ONE BEING BEST BUY. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP BECAUSE OF VARIOUS ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS ON THE CAR NOT WORKING. I HAVE READ ON SEVERAL WEBSITES THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THE 2008 YARIS. I'VE HAD TO REMOVE THE FIRST ALARM AFTER 3 MONTHS OF PURCHASE BECAUSE I WAS TOLD THE ALARM WAS THE ISSUE. THE SECOND ALARM REPLACEMENT CAUSES THE SAME PROBLEM. IS THERE AN ISSUE WITH INSTALLING AFTERMARKET ALARMS ON THE 2008 YARIS AND WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT IT?
