Consumer Description

FOR SOME REASON WHEN I, THE OWNER, GO TO START THE CAR IT GOES INTO A THEFT LOSS MODE AND THE CAR IS INOPERABLE FOR TEN MINUTES. THE CAR WAS MY PARENTS FOR 14 YEARS AND I FIRST HEARD ABOUT THE PROBLEM IN JULY 2014. THEN THE GARAGE CHANGED OUT FUEL PUMPS FOR MY MOTHER. I INHERITED THE CAR THIS SUMMER AND AM HAVING THIS THEFT LOSS TRIGGERED SEVERAL TIMES A DAY. IT REQUIRES WAITING AT LEAST 10 MINUTES TILL ATTEMPTING A RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND NOT BEING JOSTLED OR BUMPED, SO IT IS UNKNOWN WHEN OR WHY THIS "LOCK UP"OCCURS. INCREDIBLY ANNOYING!
