Consumer Description

MY PROBLEMS FIRST STARTED WITH MY HORN AND ALARM RANDOMLY GOING OFF. THEN I GO OUT TO MY CAR AFTER WORK AND THE DOORS ARE UNLOCKED, AND THE FRONT WINDOWS ARE ROLLED DOWN. I DON'T CARRY THE REMOTE/FOB ON ME, SO THAT'S NOT THE CAUSE. I HAVE HAD AT LEAST 2 SEPARATE TIMES NOW WHERE THE CAR HAS REMOTE STARTED ITSELF, WHILE THE KEYS WERE ON THE COUNTER AT MY HOUSE. THE FIRST TIME MY CAR WAS IN THE GARAGE, WITH THE DOOR CLOSED, WHEN I HEARD IT RUNNING. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO CATCH IT AND TURN IT OFF, BEFORE ANY CARBON MONOXIDE GOT IN THE HOUSE TO DO DAMAGE. NOW I PARK THE CAR IN THE DRIVEWAY, BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT IT IN THE GARAGE IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN AT NIGHT. MY NEIGHBOR TEXTED ME THE OTHER NIGHT TO TELL ME MY CAR WAS RUNNING IN THE DRIVEWAY. MY WIFE, SON, AND I WERE ALL UPSTAIRS AND THE KEYS WERE DOWNSTAIRS. I CONSIDER THIS A VERY SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM. CARBON MONOXIDE CAN KILL.
