“The vehicles anti theft system turned the fuel off. This has happened 6 times and resulted in multiple towing and mechanics bills. Has also endangered our safety by leaving us stranded along the road. Had replaced fuel pump and filters and lines, etc. Before I determined problem to be security system not allowing car to start. This has been expensive and frustrating and endangered my family.”
