Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My car will not start when the theft security light comes on. this is dangerous since i am a single parent and become stranded with my children inside the car with me or have to pick my children up and they have to wait alone outside because i am so late. today, my car has not started for over one hour. it is still sitting in the parking lot unable to start because of the security theft system. i wish this would be recalled, and hope that people don't have to start dying for it to be recalled. looking online about this problem, i have noticed that there are thousands of complaints filed on forums. i believe that if everyone knew the proper channel to complain to, that this problem would no longer exist. my abs light comes on everyday. i have had the sensor leads changed twice and it still comes on. my air conditioning was fine until this summer when i needed it. are these cars now designed to break down and be unreliable just so that the dealers can charge money for diagnostics and mechanical repair? i am so frustrated and hope that you can see how dangerous this can be. i bought this car because i wanted a reliable, dependable vehicle for myself and children, what will it take to recall this problem? will i receive acknowledgement of receipt of this complaint. i thank you in advance for your time and consideration to this very urgent matter. there was a recall on the hazard switch because it didn't always work, it didn't always allow for the turn signals to work either. i doubt that there were any deaths from this problem, and it was recalled. does someone have to die in an accident as a result of a problem with a vehicle before it will be recalled. please send me any additional information you may have about who to file additional complaints with so that i can direct my concerns to other state or federal agencies as well. *jb
