Consumer Description

I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED 2017 AND DIDN'T HAVE MANY ISSUES, JUST NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR, BUT THEN I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WHEN TRYING TO UNLOCK MY DOOR WITH MY KEY FOB TO A POINT I HAD TO KEEP MY CAR UNLOCKED BECAUSE I WASN'T SURE IF I WOULD BE ABLE TO GET IN WITHOUT ASSISTANCE. THEN, THE SAME KEY FOB WOULDN'T START MY CAR! I'D JUST PULL UP TO A STORE, HOP OUT THEN COME BACK AND 20MINS LATER I'M STILL TRYING TO TURN THE CAR ON AND THE ONLY THING THAT HELP WAS IF I JIGGLED IT A LITTLE AND SLIGHTLY PUSH IT IN, BUT WHAT SCARED ME WAS THE FACT THAT I WAS DRIVING ONE DAY AND MY CAR JUST STOPPED FOR NO REASON ALMOST CAUSING A MULTICAR ACCIDENT. I DECIDED TO REPLACE THE KEY AND HAD A NEW ONE REPROGRAMMED WHICH WORKED FOR A WHILE. I AM A DELIVERY PERSON AND ABOUT 6MONTHS AFTER THE NEW KEY I STARTED HAVING THE SAME ISSUE, BUT THIS TIME I HAD TO QUIT WORKING AND HAVE MY CAR TOWED BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T START BUT THIS TIME THERE WAS A RED LIGHT SAYING "ANTI THEFT"!
