Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: For some reason, the factory anti-theft device has cut off the starter and it would not let me start the car. when i turn the key to "start", the engine does not try to turn over at all. when i open the hood, i can hear a quiet high-pitch noise when key is turned to "start", and that's all. all the accessories, such as stereo, radar detector, work fine when key is in "on" position. i have to hold down the override switch to start my car. furthermore, the remote entry/anti-theft device has been completely disabled. technician at the dealership said the "brain" of the alarm system, or the control module needs to be replaced because it's simply dead. *la
