This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Theft system light started flashing and car wouldnt start. Tried to start several times with no success. Disconnected /reconnected battery attempted to start again with no success. Tried to start again several hours later and car started just fine. This has happened approximately 5 times since the first incident occured.nothing out of the ordinary seemed wrong car drove just fine. There is no link between this happening wether we just drove it or it sat all night it has occured either way. We purchased the car used from a dealer and was never aware of any theft system at all. As far as we know there isnt one in this vehicle.
Sometimes during the initial start-up the car will crank. You have to remove the fuse for the theft-system and disconnect the battery cables and wait at least 30 minutes to let the computer reboot itself. This has happened two times during driving where the car accelerates by itself and then dies. And after you get it started the theft-system warning light stays on. Until you turn the car off and then back on.
